What Elaine is describing seems to be more than just about moving. She mentioned wanting her own friends, for example. It's important for a person to be able to follow their dreams. Obviously noone get's to make all of them a reality. Is there any way you guys can come to a compromise?
She wants to go to school in California. I understand you don't feel that's feasible, and that's reasonable. It's not reasonable however, to expect it to not hurt her. It's not reasonable to expect her to not be upset.
Imagine, at age 16, being told you could not go to the college you wanted to. Living in a body with other people doesn't dampen the blow any.
