Its very possible your parents have a good reason for wanting you to go with them.Think about it like this,maybe they would not want to be separated from you that long,you know,they would miss you and worry about you.You really should count yourself lucky that they want you with them.There's a lot of parents out there that wouldn't.So go with them and when you get home just think of all the things you will have to tell your friends about.Man, you will be the envy of all your friends.Family advice plz?
when you are around your grandparents, bend over backwards to help them in every way. Jump up to do the dishes first when dinner is over. Help with the cooking. Do chores around the house without being asked. Make yourself a delight to have around. That way you will get your grandparents on your side, asking for you to stay with them.





Beyond that, if you get dragged off with your parents, have a meltdown. Crash and burn. Act out in every way. When they see how badly you are deteriorating when removed from home, maybe they will rethink.
I think attending to a sixteen year old WILL be too much for the elderly.





Your parents probably don't want you to take advantage of them and begin running wild. This is a natural concern...you should understand.
Are your grandparents ok with you staying with them while your mom goes out of the country? If they're ok with it, maybe you could ask them to explain that to your mom.
You may not like this, but, why fight leaving the country? It may seem like staying here (to be around your friends) is important to you now, but later in life, you will be so thrilled that you had the chance to live in another country. It is going to be a learning experience for you, a growing experience; you will gain knowledge that others will not gain until they are out of college and maybe even then won't gain. You may not believe this now, but you aren't going to give a flying leap about your high school friends in a few years. Take this opportunity to say goodbye to some of your friends (even if it is just temporary), and think of all of the cute girls you are going to meet in the other country. Really, your grandparents may not want the responsibility (financial or social) of taking care of you right now....or, they just may not be ABLE to. Go with your mother. You will be grateful once you get there, and also in life thereafter. Quit being so stubborn and open your eyes to the opportunity that is right there in front of you.
