ok well looks like my parents want to move to houston. *i live in dallas* but like i've lived here for about 7 and a half years and im really nervous of moving there we have to moved there by july 3rd and i dont know how im going to fit in and everything my moms says if i keep a positive attitude everything will be alrite but i can't help but be negative cuz iml eaving all of my friends and memories behind here... have you ever felt this way how did it turn out?? what should i do to keep a positive attitude and how i should fit in my new school. Thanks so much

i'm sorry. this has never happened to me, but i'll try to give some advice...your mom's right. just try and make friends with people at your new school. who knows! you might meet a new girl who feels just the same as you!

Try to be sociable and nice TO EVERYBODY! Subscribe to any clubs at your school so you meet new people! I hope u dont have a bf coz it must be tough losing him..

I've been through moving plenty of times. I've moved a few times but I haven't had any great memories. I just wanted to forget.

You have 44 days left, make the most of it. I looked at Mapquest, Dallas is only 3 hours and 41 minutes away. It's not that far away... Plus, they're big cities so you can probably take a Greyhound or something directly back to Dallas to visit. Also, since they're big cities you're bound to make plenty of new friends. Just be true to yourself and be who you are. Don't worry too much.

Moved to Lounge. I'm not sure if it goes there so if any mod disagrees, go ahead and move it elsewhere.

Heh, I live in Houston. :3

Yeah, like Chii said, it'll be super-easy to visit Dallas from Houston. Besides, Houston is a pretty cool city. It all depends on where you move.

Yes, listen to your mother and keep a positive attitude. That'll help quite a bit. The whole thing will only be as bad as you think it will be. Plus, you get to meet new people, and probably keep your old friends. After all, it's only about 3 hours and a half away.

Pretty much, keep positive about it. It can get pretty bad if you don't.

Just be yourself- I'm sure you're a really likable person. Make new friends, join some clubs, just get to know everyone. It doesn't really matter where you live, it's just how you interact with the people around you. If you keep a positive, friendly attitude, you're bound to make some friends.

I'm sorry to that has never happened to me...but if you just keep a positive attudude and trust God and your parents. things will work out, im' sure

All my life, I've moved. The first time, that I can really recall from memory, was hard. I cried, tried to make the best of the time I had left with my friends, and so forth. I say, although your moving, keep in contact with the friends you have now, either through letters, calling, or IMing. Maybe even a combination of those.

But in time, just expect that there's a chance you could lose touch..moving on with life. Don't worry, you'll make new friends, and come to appreciate the new place you could possibly be moving to.

And it is true, IMO, that if you keep an positive attitude about things, it'll seem a little easier. Even if it's not by all that much.
