Dear Samina,
Your parents are just trying to give you the best for your future in education, experiences and possibly a mix with the right people, better future experiences and a better right to independence. all these things for a child to understand can be very daunting and upsetting, but if you don't tell them about how you feel they are not mind readers,. Write it all down on paper, express how you feel now and ask them to sit and talk to you about it, write down all the good things you can think about it and all the adverse things you can think about going to a private school.
Your parents are very lucky and so are you to be able to afford giving you this special treatment because that's just what it is, you are privileged (not that it means anything at you are age right now) but believe me when I tell you what a great future you will have by benefiting from private education, your parents want you to have the very best possible start, they love you more than themselves to be able to offer this kind of education,
If I were you try and see their point of view, and explain that if you're unhappy when you get there, tell them that you will go and give it 6 months and if you like you will stay if not can they please let you go to an alternative school. You've just got to try it and be strong, Most young girls/boys at your age would love to be given the opportunity that you have, my advice is try and speak to them first do that list and compare answers. and at least give it a try.
I really hope that when you're older you'll remember writing to me and laugh and smile because you’ll be making the very same decision for your children, and why, because you love them more than anything in the world.
All the best Samina.
