    Her solution to you being gay is to send you to a school where you'll be sharing a room with boys? That's quite humorous. I don't get it when parents think carting their child off to boarding school is the answer.

    If you really have no choice in the matter then...it is what it is. Maybe you'll like it?

    If you don't want to go she shouldn't be allowed to force you. Tell your mum that you don't want to go and you're staying in the school where you currently go. If she becomes aggressive or assures you that you're going then contact childine or a similar service and see what they have to say.

    Have you simply asked her why she wants to send you to boarding school? If it is a knee-jerk reaction she probably hasn't thought about it properly.
