Parents Won't Let Me Go To Public School?
I asked to go to a public high school because I've been homeschooled/in private school my whole life. My parents are SDA, which means we worship on Saturdays and they don't want me to go to a public school for many reasons...
-they teach things we don't believe in, like evolution and stuff
-kids cuss and do inappropriate things, even though I see all that in movies, kids at private schools do all that stuff anyway
-drugs and gangs
-not very good education (or so my mom thinks)
-friends who are bad influences (same at private school so)
-won't be able to go to anything like dances, football games, etc. if it's on Friday night or Saturday day, because of church and religious beliefs, and they think I'll complain about it.
So I really want to because everyone I know is going to this public school or other schools and I want to also because this guy I'm with wants me to go there and so do all my friends, so I really want to go. Please help me convince my parents!
I have cousins who've gone through the public school system and came out great as well, and many of my relatives have tried telling my parents it's a good system but they won't listen...HELP!

I don't know the full details but let me give you my opinion, and also a advice opinion.
My opinion: Your parents need to know they can't control your life, eventually once you grow up your going to be out on your own as scary as it can be. It's starts with school. To me it's better to experience the challenges in highschool maintaining good grades choosing your friends wisely and learning from experiences then not knowing them at all. In this case I'm all for you going.
Advice Opinion: Pressure is real, if you've never been to public school know that it does influence you and you have to always remember who your are and never change for anyone.
What you should do: Sit down with your parents and explain to them that you really want to go because you need these experiences in your life. Even if they say no they will understand.
