I have a hard decision to make. Can someone please help?
-
(The names I'm using are made up, just so you don't know what school I go to. ^_^. By the way, sorry this is so long, but I'd love if you took the time to read it.) I'm in 8th grade & next year I have to decide whether I want stay at Summerfield, the school district I go to now, or switch to Greenville, a school district near me where my 3 best friends go. I'm very torn, and this is a very important decision to make. Here's the facts. Reasons to stay at Summerfield. -I know everybody there. I'm part of that class. If I switch, not that many people will know me. My 3 best friends are Sophomores now, so I'd only be with them for 2 years before they graduate, anyway. -I like the school itself, however, I don't really like the people that much. -Greenville as a reputation of being racist. My 3 best friends, however, aren't at all. I'm mixed, (1/4 African-American, but I look white...) and my dad (who is half-black) is worried about this. -I am involved in the theater program, which I love more than anything. I really want to act/sing/dance when I'm older, and I've already been in 3 shows at Summerfield. However, Greenville has won awards for their fine theater program, and they have a lot more money to put on productions. Plus, I like really like this guy in our current production who said he would wait for me until I got to highschool. I am good friends with most of the other people, too. -Summerfield is a LOT closer to us than Greenville is. If I went to Greenville, it'd cost a lot of extra money because of gas. Reasons to switch to Greenville. -I could start over. I don't think I have an extremely bad reputation at Summerfield, but people don't really like me. I have a few friends there, but most of them are in the theater program & they're upperclassmen. -My 3 bestfriends all go to Greenville. I'm just worried that, even though we don't fight often, we'll get into an argument and I won't have anyone... -The theater/music program is a lot better...or so I've been told. -There are 3 freshmen at Summerfield who absolutely HATE me, and I'd be scared to go to school every day in fear of being bullied. I'd probably not even consider going to Greenville if it weren't for them, just because I can deal with all of the normal drama in middle/highschool, but they just take it to a new extent. E.g pushing me into lockers, writing horrible things on Facebook, yelling things from across the halls, threatening to beat me & my bestfriends up "until they see blood" etc. I know it's long, but PLEASE help! I know it's ultimately my decision, but I'd like others' take on it. Thanks!

I would stay where you are AND report these 3 freshmen for bullying. Make sure you print or screenshot the facebook comments so you can show them to your school dean/principal. There's a huge initiative to get bullying criminalized because kids have been committing suicide over bullying. You should mention to the school officials that you're willing to go to the police with this since the pushing into lockers is considered assault by the law. You may have to do that. Please make sure you have proof and witnesses when you report them. Once you do that maybe the'll know that they can't treat you like that.
