Question - (20 February 2016) 3 Answers - (Newest, 20 February 2016)
A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

So my boyfriend is a complete know it all. I'm a big of a laggy in high school, only in my junior year though I'd like to transfer schools. He said I'm being an irrational child over this, and that I'm just mad over failing a class. I actually have discussed the subject with my mother, and she'd support my decision due to being a bit too old for her to really guide me a ton anymore. My boyfriend continues to try to act like my parent, despite being the same age. He says I only have one year left, so I shouldn't leave anyway. I should just get over myself and such. He constantly makes know it all remarks when I complain about these things, unless he agrees with it. It's beginning to grind my gears, and I've told him to not be so rude. Any help on how to confront him? We've been dating for 2 years, but friends for a long time beforehand if it helps

Honeypie agony auntSo it's school that isn't up to snuff, then WHY not switch? He might think he knows better, doesn't mean that he actually does know better.

IF your mom is OK with you switching schools (and you make sure to apply at the right time to switch) then go for it.

However, switching schools may not fix what you are unhappy about.

I'm just a year older than everyone else as far as age is what I meant, I'm ahead academically though. My grades aren't bad either, it's just issues with other students are absolutely terrible, and that the teachers are extremely immature as well. The teachers and the students at this school go out sometimes, not to discuss grades and things, but like how students hang out with each other and it just bothers me a bit because I'm not the teacher's pet type, so they flat out ignore me 95% of the time, though I'm a very vocal student in debates and in class discussions. The class I failed was due to my frequent absences due to a family emergency. I get this is an update, though thank you for the reply.

Honeypie agony auntDo you think transferring will change your grades? If so, why?

Is your HS academically bad? Or are the teachers not willing to help you get your grade up, offer advice etc?

I really think it comes down to WHY you want to transfer.

I'm not familiar with the term "laggy" but I'm guess you mean you are behind the average students? Changing schools is not going to help you become less "laggy". That comes down to your work ethics and effort. Does it not?

However with that being said, it's not up to your BF to make this choice. That is up to your parent(s) and yourself.

And really how old is your mother that she can't guide you? Seriously?
