*TW// MENTION OF SH*
Hi so I'm in year 11 doing an ATAR course (for university), and I'm halfway through (literally in the middle of senior exams rn!! so bad timing) and a few months ago my mother was given the job to go to China in a couple of months. The thing is, my dad wants to go too and they want me to go and finish schooling there (in international school).
However, that would mean that I would have to move away from the life and school I've grown up in. I'll have to leave all my friends and my boyfriend, and I know that might sound like nothing because we are young, but he is genuinely the kindest, most respectful, intelligent, most loving person I've met and we've been dating for almost 2 years -- and one of the reasons I stopped SH and look forward to the future and school and started loving myself.
And so that is a major thing that makes it hard for me AND him -- although he would support me no matter what decision I make. Not only that, I would have to re-do my entire year 11 and do IB (which is harder than ATAR but might present more opportunities?), but my dad really wants to go to Beijing but if I stay in Australia and have nobody to care for me then he will have to stay until I finish year 12, which is 1.5 years away which means his time in Beijing (which he really deserves to go to and be happy) is cut in half.
Adding into that, it is a private school that is typically 30k!! But the government is paying for me which means I will be able to go to an expensive, large school for free and my parents wouldn't have to worry about the expenses of my now-school (around 7-8k). And that is amazing and a really REALLY good opportunity but I want to stay in Australia so bad I don't understand the system they're using, I don't know anybody there or anything while in my school now I'm doing well in a number of classes and I'm happy.
I have pretty good grades, I have nice and caring teachers, I have nice friends, and I have a boyfriend who rlly makes me the happiest. And every time someone brings up the idea of China, I want to do it so bad and I say that I'll go and that I want to, but then a couple of hours pass and then the cons spout in my mind and I don't wanna go again and this has happened numerous of times. Like do I really want it? But I don't want to seem like I don't appreciate this opportunity that I will never get again, I do, and I'm thinking maybe I should just YOLO it? But I really don't know. I'm torn between the two but always end up leaning on staying where I am. Do I fear change or something? Do you think my decision to stay is bad?
