I am at the end of my 2nd high school year (11th grade), and I don't know if it is the same for all of you americans, but in portugal we gotta pick an extra discipline. We got like Psychology, extra Biology, etc. Anyway, after a bit of investigation, I figured that if I want to go to the courses that I want in uni, namely most stuff related with arts and drawing, I need to take a certain discipline that my school, being a small one, does not have.
My parents are putting some pressure that I go to the school in the nearest city, and while I full-heartedly agree with them, I am absolutely terrified at not only leaving all my friends behind, but also meeting new people. I'm afraid I won't fit in I guess. The stupidest thing about this is that after this year I will go to university and will leave everyone behind whether I do want it or not.
Anyway, I was hoping the coolest forum ever could give me some emotional advice on how to handle this.
