Can't leave

knorloff

 I am graduating middle school on Tuesday. I have been going to a Montessori school for two years, and it's been like home to me.  I am not coping with leaving very well.  I've been really sad about it, and I can't think about anything else besides the fact that I will have to leave this beautiful school. For the first time in 4 years, I found real friends there that I cared about, and they cared about me. My teachers are amazing and helped me become so much stronger than when I first came there. I really don't want to leave them and go back to public school.  Will I go back to being miserable all the time? Will I be depressed again? I don't even know. I am so afraid of what will come next.

Big hug for you sweetie and congratulations ....... Life is constantly changing and evolving .... Not too much stays the same
I know change can be scary but I think your new school will also have some great teachers and you'll make some new friends
My landlord/roomie is a teacher in a pubic school and I don't know anyone who works harder then he does..... xo

Life is not about finding your 1 happy place and never leaving it. How do you know that things at High School will be bad when you've not even given it a chance? Do you realize how many missed opportunities people have because they were to scared to just try. You don't want to be that kind of person. You have your whole life ahead of you, and this is the exciting part, its the part where you start to decide what you want to be, what you want to do with your life. Don't ever quit without at least trying..

If it doesn't work out then you can always do online school, there are many, many choices for that.

But don't give up on something until you at least try it.

I'm sorry you're going through this. My school years were some of the worst of my life. You said you made friends at your old school? Stay in touch with them. Good friends can help you through anything.

I'm sorry,

Stay in touch with your old friends and add them in to your new friends...

Find something to volunteer for when you get to your new school....a sport or a club of some kind...it will be a stretch but a chance to meet someone new....

Good luck and you will always have DS for support!

Fortune-telling is a type of thinking that can lead to error. None of us knows what will happen in the future. Something with a little less doom and gloom is quite possible. :-) Take heart and good luck. Bless you.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
