I live in NYC. I also have a daughter in high school here. I think NYC is a fine place for teenagers.
BUT, as a parent, I wouldn’t let you do this either.
1) Who would you live with? You are too young to live alone in such a complex city. It’s not like you grew up here and knew the way the City works. And, even if you did grow up here, you are too young to live alone here.
2) WHERE would you live? This is an extremely expensive place to live in and housing costs are through the moon. Do you really think you and your friends can afford the rent on a NYC apartment?
3) High school admissions are EXTREMELY complicated here. And senior year is a terrible time to try to enter. All the good high schools pretty much require that you enter by 10th grade. Those who come in 12th grade get stuck in the worst of the worst – dangerous schools where no real education is going on.
Wait till you are really old enough to do this. What is your hurry?
