i HATE boarding school already, help.

I'm barely turning 13 this year, and as a (probably) mentally deranged and crazy asian (Malaysian) girl whose mother wants to send her to a BOARDING SCHOOL! I know I'm at fault for planning this with my mom, but I don't want to make everyone disappointed. And as my luck increases unwillingly, I got accepted to the boarding school.

Here's some reasons why I got accepted; First, there were exams. Malay, Science, English, Maths, and History! I'm bad at my own language, and history. And somewhat maths, but science and English are my top two favourite subjects. I'm pretty sure I passed all of the tests, then comes the RBS (Residence Based Selection) we got a taste of boarding school life during RBS for 3 days. During those 3 days, we had an interview. And my "forgot the consequences" mind proceeded to do my best. And I got accepted.

Now it's only the SECOND day of boarding school and I feel sick to my core. I've vomited at least twice on the first day. I've cried too many times and I want to go home. My mom said she will think about it by the end of the year. And she promised if I could get 90% and above. (I need to score >3.7 and above in GPA)

My studies are already flopping, does anyone know how to help?

Leaving your home is not easy and people rarely love boarding schools initially. Try it for a few more days. You will adjust and will find that it has some pros as well. I lived in a boarding school when I was young for a few months. Initially I hated it as I am quite an introvert and didn't like making many friends but then it became alright. I did make some close friends and learnt a lot of new skills. When I left boarding I missed it.

You just need to take it one day at a time it's a huge change just like Uni is for a lot of people stay strong see how you feel in six weeks or so once you have got into the swing of things.

Take it from me. I have been in a boarding school for 5 years. I also threw up and cried . My parents weren’t even in the country !! But when u moved to a different boarding school a few years later guess what.. I didn’t cry I was strong and I learnt so much about bonding and socialising and having fun. I was in the same exact position as you and I understand you will do great things ❤️😊
