I am a high school freshman, and i want to transfer?

I am currently a Freshman in high school, at an independent all girls school with under 50 girls in each class. I went there for kindergarten-eighth grade as well. I loved the elementary school, and when applying to high schools felt i wasn't ready to leave it, so i fought against my parents so that I could stay at the school.

The school they wanted me to go to is a huge catholic high school, with about 350 students per grade. It is coed, and completely opposite from the school i attend. It is where my dad went and now sits on the board.

I started freshman year in August, and so far...it has sucked. I love my friends from the elementary school, but all the new girls are annoying, and I don't want to talk to them. The school is too easy, and i never study or do homework...but i have straight As. And i feel like overall school is dull and boring. I don't look forward to going to school anymore. Last year i would be excited to see friends, and teachers.

So my problem is:

I really don't like my school anymore, and I truly want to transfer out, but i feel like i fought too hard to earn it. My parents really didn't want me to go to this school anymore, and I think it was humiliating that my dad was on the board of the other school but i didn't go there. I don't want to seem like i was just stubborn last year or anything, so i don't really want to tell my parents that i want to transfer. I am tired of my school, and everyone at the other school loves it. I am just scared of my parents, because it is what they wanted all along.

What is your opinion and how should i tell my parents? The school allows transfers to apply in January.

I am also wondering if this will affect me when i apply to college. I don't know how it would, but i just want to be positive.

    Sit your parents down and talk to them (together). Be honest, tell them at the time you truly did think it was the right place for you, but now you see they were right. No matter where the conversation may go try to stay calm and collective. Make sure they know that you are listening to what they are saying or suggesting.

    This in no way will affect you when applying to college.

    Most importantly- Before you decide to do this make sure this IS what you want!!

    GOOD LUCK! I'm sure it will all work out :)
