Kelly-Should she stay or should she go now?

My second oldest daughter , Kelly absolutely hates the high school she is assigned to. She has some friends but it doesn’t seem like that is enough to keep her happy there. She hates it and there is always Facebook and texting for friends. She has been spending the last week or so with my parents over in Trenton, FL and is having a good time. The schools in Gilchrist county (Trenton and Bell) are ALL considered “A” schools while the schools here in Putnam Co. are, well, down the list a bit. I am considering allowing Kelly to live with my parents and attend high school at Bell High School where my mother works. Trenton is 2 hours away so ‘dropping in’ to see her will not be easy. There is no soccer team for the school but there is for the recreation department. There is a track team and Kelly has talked about joining track. There is also Medical Skills. This is a series of classes she took her freshman year at Palatka High School and she can continue at Bell. I think this will be a good move for her but she is 15 and I can’t help but think that if I allow this she will one day feel like I gave her up. This has to be her decision, however, I feel like she will choose to stay in Trenton.

I feel awful in that I hope she does stay. Don’t get me wrong, I love my daughter very much and I will miss her terribly but because I love her, I want her to have a chance at a better education in an environment where she is comfortable. Everyone deserves that chance. I didn’t allow it with Olivia, my oldest but with Olivia’s personality, the adversity made her stronger. She is now the Student Council President. Olivia and Kelly, while both very intelligent have very different personalities and what works for one may not work for the other. I hope I am making the right decision.
