I end up going to some sort of program or summer camp every year, but luckily for me, I didn't go last year. My mom is trying to make me go to the summer camp this year to get me out of the house. The summer camp she wants me to go to in particular, I've been there twice, and it's been one of the most horrible experiences of my life. She spends a lot of money for me to go, hundreds of dollars but the camp still lacks quality. It is dirty and boring. The cabins we have to sleep in are infested with roaches. At night when I am trying to sleep I see roaches flying around above my head all night and they land on me. I woke up with one on my face once. The showers are filthy and have leaking cracks from the walls where bugs emerge. The food is horrible and the dishes and eating utensils have food stains and chunks of dried food on them showing they haven't been washed properly. When I drink from my cup, I smell a foul odor coming from the other corner of my cup. Even the food is nasty. I almost starved when I went there. The food is worst than school food; I couldn't eat anything without gagging. And no matter what, it's always cold or poorly cooked --- or overcooked. I lost 12 pounds one year in the 2 week period I had to stay.
It's so horrible and boring there. I can't take it. Half of the day we stay in the cabins and color and stuff. There are no electronics. Within the first three days I practically go insane out of bordome and homesickness. I can't contact anyone, I can't go home. It feels like I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere, and there's nothing I can do. No matter what I can't leave the place with no hope of going home soon. I really don't want to go to the camp, it's the worst thing ever. No matter what I tell my mom she still wants me to go to the camp. I have about 2 months to convince her before she turns in the money and the application. Any ideas on how I can persuade her not to make me go?

Well if what you say about this camp is absolutely true then there is no way your mom would voluntarily send you there.
So tell her what you told us here if you weren’t exaggerating about how bad it gets.

Tell her this. Also ask if you can just join some activities at home you may enjoy. Like a sport, karate or something. Go to her with your suggestions. Also maybe if she still feels a need to send you away find another camp yourself you can see yourself enjoying. Also maybe ask if you can go to a relatives for part of the summer if that is possible. My daughter hated summer camp also. Hers was at home though. Now she is 15. So she is more interested in working.

Just tell her what you said here, Show her you yahoo answers post. Let her read it. Very often the very act of reading about the problem might resolve it. It will at a minimum give her an understanding about how you feel. Camping / Camp can be a great thing!!! Don’t miss out on any opportunity to go. Perhaps you could request a different camp or summer activity. Show this post to her I think you will be surprised, remember ALWAYS be honest and truthful with your parents no matter what. Their are your best friends and will never intentionally lead you wrong. And if they say your going **** it UP and go make the best of is and BECOME the NEW chef at camp!!! (no joke)…. Good Luck kid!!!
