[quote=Anonymous]The summer before my senior year in high school my family moved from CT - where I attended a progressive public school to Dallas - where I attended a private girls school (think saddle shoes, not kidding).

I was really close to my parents and siblings so I never thought to say I didn't want to go.  I loved my high school, did well academically and socially.  I assumed that would happen in Dallas.

It didn't.

It was the worst year of my life -- and it began a life long eating disorder.  Mid year, I asked if I could go back -- live with a family friend and my parents said no.  That soon I would be away at college and they didn't want to let go of me any earlier.   As a mom of two  -- I get that answer.  But it was so hard to hear.

Much later in life both of my (now) deceased parents - apologized to me.  That both said I should have stayed behind.  It helped me a lot that they saw the pain I was in -- and how that lingered in my life.

I certainly don't know your soon to be senior and maybe it will be a positive for them

Good luck[/quote]
