Perhaps you could look into what is required for early graduation in PA then apply for a Spring admission at Stonybrook. Remember student loans are an option but that you will be considered an out of state resident with your transferring PA grades. In order to attend a SUNY school at a resident rate you will need to prove NY residency. Just make a good plan for LI reentry. With a great education- focused degree program, you should be able to live on LI. Your parents may get really tired of PA and join you later! Good luck and enjoy the life experience.

What they said is true. In high school, you think that your friends will be your only friends for the rest of your life. I was basically the only one of my friends to go away to college, and I lost touch with about 90% of the friends I had in high school. Even those who decided to stay local lost touch with everyone within a year or so. The college friends will probably be the ones you'll have the rest of your life.

Just playing devil's advocate here, but it looks like Tymel joined in Dec. 2006 with 60+ posts on this forum, so either you've all been corresponding with a high school kid for the past year, or mommy or daddy is posing as a high school student.

The original post for this thread was a little overdone with spelling errors, etc., trying to make it look authentic. Except most fairly well-educated high school students are more fluent and better spellers than that. And if this is really a student, they need to go back to school and learn to spell and to use grammar correctly.

So they were a few spelling errors, big deal. I understood what he was trying to say. He was probable upset that realty has set in that he is moving. I went back and read some of his earlier post, seems consistent with the current post about relocation, deciding his future etc. I think that its great that at his age he is at least thinking or at least trying to decide on college jobs etc. It would have been nice if his parents could have stayed and rented until he finishes his senior year in HS. Like some of the earlier post have stated, once you graduate from HS you loose touch with most of those friends. I graduated HS back in 1992, last year I hooked up with one of my best friends. What a disaster, it will take me one hour to write about my experience with that, definitely not the person I knew back then and certainly not someone I would be friends with today. So hang in there kid, seems like you have a good head on your shoulders. Give him a break on the spelling

Thanks for believing me. If people don't believe I am a high school student why wont they just look back at my older post?

Woah. You met your best friend from High School and they changed that much that it was a total disaster? Thats crazy, I always thought High School friends were for life and College friends arent. Guess it was the other way around.

That occurred to me also, actually.

Yeah.. but hey.. I'm guilty of spelling errors on boards. I'm not paying attention I'm typing fast and don't really care about it being correct.. so really the spelling thing has no bearing on it's authenticity.

Nobody is your friend for life just because you happened to be in the same place at the same time. That goes for HS, college, the service and the work place.
