virginia: Like what are the benefits of being there over being in Virginia? High Schools? Cost of living? Etc? How could I get them to want to move?|||I don't really think it's going to be easy to get them to move somewhere else if they're happy where they are. I know I'd never in a million years be able to convince my parents to move to a nearby town, let alone another state. You can always move to New Jersey on your own when you're older, and do you really want to leave everything (such as friends) behind?|||Honestly stay in Virgina. i love that state! Anyways. New Jersey is over the top expensive. Tax is high also. The schools are very good. But if you don't wear certain clothes or you talk a certain way like if you talk all country or indian they will make fun of you. New Jersey'ans are somewhat stuckup. They don't like helping others. They all think they are the best. Literally. Some are nice, but good luck looking for nice people. Virgina is such a nice place. You can always move to different parts in virginia, if your not satisfied about where you are living. Everyone down there are much more friendlier then NJ. Plus the houses in virgina are way cheaper, which is more affordable, for you and your family. Hope this helps a ton!

Bottom line, if your parents have jobs they like where they are, moving to New Jersey would be incredibly stupid. I suggest you figure out ways to make living in Virginia more appealing for yourself.
