    They'll see for themselves. , If the move is voluntary, swear that you'll do all your chores and homework and schoolwork from then on if they don't move.

    Promises of their child's good behavior might convince them. , If you're at their ankles, whining and pleading, they won't listen.

    Always be calm and rational. , This doesn't mean throwing a fit because it's "not fair!" Have a talk with your parents and tell them how you feel.

    If that doesn't work, subtly be a little upset in day-to-day life.

    For example, writing in your journal that you really don't want to move and leaving it out, or just acting a little sad around the house.

    If your parents can pick up on it, they will feel bad. , It's really not the end of the world.
