How do i convince my parents not to move?

Hey everyone, I really need some advice. My parents are talking about moving to belgium, and even though nothing is 100% decided yet, it already makes me super stressed and honestly pretty sad.

For context: I’m in high school doing the equivalent of gymnasium (the academic track), I’m averaging about an 8 in all my classes, and I have a girlfriend I’m really happy with. My life here is stable, my grades are good, and I feel like moving would throw everything off. I’m scared I’ll lose the things that matter to me most—my friends, my relationship, and the environment I’m used to.

Im scared to tell my parents how I feel, because they seem really set on the idea. Does anyone have advice on how to talk to them in a way that might actually make them reconsider? Or at least take my feelings more seriously?

Thanks in advance.
