i think that you should become a foreign exchange student, and if she thinks that she is going to miss you to much then she could have someone live in your house it is a very good learning experiance, and it looks good for collage good luck

You might try asking to go through an exchange program. That may be more acceptable to your mom. Here are some ideas to help convince her. 1. Maturity. You will grow up and get experiences overcoming some of the biggest challenges of your life. You will learn great people skills and gain the ability to get along with people from all walks of life. 2. Language. You will have the opportunity for language and cultural immersion, the proven best way to learn! People who speak more than one language are in high demand in the workforce and can often command a higher salary. 3. College. Colleges and university LOVE exchange students and many prestigious ones offer preferred admissions and sometime scholarship money. 4. Citizenship. While you are learning to appreciate another culture and country, you will also be getting a deeper understanding of your own. As an exchange student, you'll be finding yourself researching the U.S. political systems, history and culture -- so you can explain it to your new friends! You'll be a young ambassador for the U.S. 5. Fun! Yes, it will be fun and exciting. It will also be boring and you'll be homesick at times too -- but that's part of the experience and you should let your parents know you realize this. 6. Expenses. This is expensive! Offer to pay for part of it and apply for scholarships. Get a job so you can pay your own personal expenses. 7. Research! Before approaching your parents again, do some research. Find some good organizations. Rotary is the cheapest, but most competitive. You can find a list of all of those certified to operate in the U.S. at www.csiet.org. Contact your school counselor for a recommendation as well. An organization is only as good as the local people who represent it. 8. Have a plan. Talk to your counselor about how you could arrange your classes so you graduate on time. 9. Go to www.exchangestudentworld.com. This site was developed for exchange students around the world and it will have a lot of information for both you and your parents. If you should be lucky enough to go, it also has a diary you can keep. 10. Meet and get to know the exchange students at your school (if you have some). Invite them home to meet your parents. The best "persuasion" might come from kids already doing it! Good luck -- I hope you meet your goal.

I doubt she'll let your high school year be in Japan, don't get your hopes up :/ be patient and like the first guy said, apply college there instead, your still to young in her eyes to be in a different country.

Make a list of the reasons you want to study in Japan, and carefully consider what exactly you want to do, how much it will cost and possible means of finance. If your parents can't afford to send you abroad for school, you either have to figure out how to pay yourself or stay home until you can. Lot of suggestions about studying abroad in "The Teenage Liberation Handbook" You may find an affordable solution there. When you have a convincing argument, approach your parents with your plans. Try to be as adult as possible and make it very business like. Schedule an appointment to get their full attention. Good luck :)

I would suggest you applying for scholarships. Scholarships are free sources of money that help cover school fees, and you don't have to pay them back. If you show your mom that you really want to go to Japan and that you making an effort to help pay for the trip, then she'll be more likely to let you go.
