Highschool Options

[jue]

uhm; im not sure where to post this topic so i just posted it in lounge.

so; i got my highschool results today& i got accept to Thomas A. Edison. It's some techincal school. I was kinda happy with it. But then the thing is; after hearing some stories from people i know that go there; im not sure if i want to go there anymore. Many say that in Edison, theres alot of crime and like fights. But then the education there is good. One said that he doesnt think i would fit well into the school cause its very "gangsterish and there are fights" everywhere. Another person said that as long as i dont like get in the way of the ierno how to call them but like "fighting" people then they wont do nothing to me. I talked to my dad and he said that the location of the school is in a dangerous place. Now thing is im not sure if i want to go there anymore. But then yet again; it supports what i want to do and learn but the fact that its not safe; bothers me.

i can either choose to go to this school now. And for one year; if i dont like it i can reapply to other schools. Or i can like move where i live and go to a zone school.

What would you guys do?

i live near that school...yes. it is in a bad neighborhood..and there are ganster ppl there...but dont let that scare u away..once u go there youll find the non-fighting ppl and youll be fine. the only reason that school is known for fighting is b/c its always the same group of ppl getting into the same fights over the same thing everyday..so its always those ppl making the news.

buts thats only those few ppl..THERE ARE other ppl at the school who dont do those stuff..soo..yeah

the only reason im saying this is b/c..my younger friend just start HS..and she got accepted into...robert f kennedy H.S...which is also nearby..the schools has a good education..but everytime i pass by it..theres a bunch of ganster fighting ppl...so most ppl were under the impression that the school was very gangster and fighting..so my friend was scared to go..but now shes in it and she says its not as bad as we thought it was..

but wouldnt the zone school for that area be Jamaica H.S? its right next to thomas edison.. that was my zone school.. but since that school is also known for gangster fighting my mom didnt want me to go b/c she thought id fall underbad influence and be like them...so i didnt go there. but i have friends who go there..and theyre still good..

well; i dont mean move like move near jamaica. I meant like i might move near like bayside and then get the zoned school there which is cardozo.
