I found it interesting you live in India yet you made a presentation entirely in English for your parents. Is English the predominant language in your household or did you just translate for us?
Good luck, let us know if it convinced your parents

Slide 4 leave the sarcasm out, point out only the positive about the transfer. See if you can get stats on how many from each move on to higher education, SAT scores and so on.
Slide 5 what is the source for the data?
Slide 6 too much opinion, almost whining, not quite but almost.
Slide 7 consider a bullet structure.
How do you know the new school would be better?
What do you wan tto get out of the classes?
Do your grade show you are starving for more of a challenge?
Do you participate in any programs, clubs or other after activities?
Other comments by slide.
It is commendable you are looking into ensuring you get the best education for yourself. Reading the presentation you may want to focus on a few more positives about the new school.
Spending the night over freinds house is a a commitment. Is there a contingency plan if you can no longer stay at your friends place?
have you talked to your guidance counselor? They may be able to assist you in identifying the pros supporting the transfer.
Slide 2
Classes will have a mixed audience of under and upper classmen. Having the opportunity in such a diverse learning environment is something that is not currently available to me. This opportunity can be related to the juniour engineer sitting in the design meetings of the more senior engineers, a sort of mentoring if you will.
Slide 3
Having the opportunity to attend a new school, with the latest technology and newest learning tools will provide a better learning experience.
I will not be the only student entering a new school. All the students will be walking into a new building. We will all be working together and helping eachother finding our way around. This will be an excellent example of teamwork and exercise in problem solving.
Slide 6
Sources would help.
Students are bullied by teachers? Interesting, that may prove to be a positive to your parents. It may be construded as discipline.
Students are learning at the best possible quality?
have you compared the syllabus' between the two schools? If you are getting C's then there may be an argument you are not putting in the efforts to meet the lower standards of your current school.
The Smoking thing that's a tough one. Could you possibly te that into how it affects your learning?
Texting? Are you part of the group texting? If not how does that affect you?
Slide 8 that is going to be a tough sell, especially if you are not getting an A in that class.
Best of luck.
