Catholic girls only please? :(?

You are totally a wierdo - and I was too. :) It's good to be a weirdo here. I will tell you that at private religious schools you will still find nasty stuff going on behind the bleachers once in a while. But this is no reason for you to give up on your idea of going to a Catholic school. I would go ahead and tell her that most of the girls and guys at your school (you don't have to give names if you don't want to) are doing and talking about. Tell her that it bothers you and that you have spent some time thinking about what to do about it. Research nearby schools and see what schools have scholarships or grants to help financially, offer to start babysitting or doing something else in order to help with costs, and tell her you are even considering going to a Catholic college, and you feel that going to a private Catholic school will help you to get in.

Also, consider that you may be being called to a religious vocation and that this might be your chance to start discerning that. Whether you are called to religious life, married life, or singlehood, chastity is of the utmost importance and a very tempting thing to break. Make sure to spend more and more time in prayer and with God, and he will make it possible for you to remain faithful even in tough times, especially if you can't go to a private school yet.

So, present all your research to your mom and pray for the best to happen. Hopefully she will see your plight and help you. Also, if you are looking for other serious catholics to chat with, try this website, I chat there a lot, my screen name is TraceyAK - make sure to read the chat room rules: http://ecatholic2000.com/chat/chat.shtml

Hope it all works out, let us know what happens!

As a dad I know sometimes kids just need to sit their parents down and have a serious talk to them about things like drugs and sex.

Discuss this with your parents, don;t get upset or emotional just say you are having problems at school.

PS don't expect that things will be very different at a catholic school quite often they are the same or worse.

you also need to be responsible for your own actions regardless of what others are doing around you ( but that is a pretty tough thing to do at any age )

I'm not Catholic but I go to an all girls Catholic school, let me tell you... it's not any different. Just stay away from those people and keep your own values.

Edit: Bahaha at "You get so deeply into Jesus"... In both ways no you don't. After 3 years in Catholic school, it's only made my beliefs in Atheism stronger. It depends on the person what they take from the experience.

I'm not Catholic, but you're doing a very good thing by sticking with your beliefs and morals c: Find a group of people who don't do those things to hang around with. At an all girls school, you miss so much life experience.

All the way in which... That's the way in which they cross Every day... And none in their mamas ever appear to understand Hip-hip-hooray... For the entire elegance they exhibit There's not anything like a catholic lady.... At the cyo When they study to blow...

I would just TELL her. She will be very proud that her daughter has good values and wants to live a healthy lifestyle. And you should be very proud of yourself, too.

You can also show her the standardized test scores from your school vs. the girls school -- the girls school probably has higher ones.

I am guy, sorry, but I have an answer. Tell your mom, your school is not something influential to your life, tell her, a religious school can be the best way to place you in a influential environment. Catholic schools are the best. You get so deeply into Jesus

Err....well as an atheist parent I would kinda want to know if it was really that bad in 7th grade and I'd send my daughter somewhere else. I don't see what the big deal with talking to her is. Other than money, I don't see why she would have issues with you going.

Your not going to get anywhere without legit reasons so you have to tell her. And why not go to a different public school or a private secularist school. In religious schools they leave out lots of things that contradict the Bible which includes more than half of written history and the entire field of Biology and Ecology.

I'm not a girl, I'm a dad.

Go to your mom and tell her why you want to go to the other school. That is the best idea.
