a year ago i decided that i wanted to go to summer camp for 6 weeks. i knew that no one i knew would be there, but i hated my life and thought anywhere would be better than home.
i'm going from july 19 to august 30.
now, i don't want to go that long. for 3 of the 6 i will know people there, and i still want to go then.
i actually like my life at home now. i have friends who are great to hang out with. a have a boyfriend. he's going to camp, also, though, and he's coming back the day before i leave, so i won't see him after the 5th of july. he's a new boyfriend, and i want to spend at least some of my summer with him.
i'm really shy. the first year that i went to camp, i was miserable because i didn't know anyone. i cried every day. i hated it there. i don't want to feel that lonely ever again. i'm also prone to depression, so i probably will get depressed there, and i really don't want to be. i got depressed before.
i'm really dreading camp now. i'd rather stay at home and have fun with my friends than cry myself to sleep every night, and be extremely lonely.
here's the problem, though, it's already paid for. and it isn't cheap. i don't want to make my parents pay a couple thousand dollars for something that i won't even do.
how do i convince my parents to let me stay at home for the first 3 weeks?
thank you so much.
there's also a party in the first 3 weeks, and it's supposed to be really good.
the party's at home, btw, not at camp.
