moving, how do you deal with it.. Options

[lidoaznboi89]

has everyone ever had the experience of moving from school to school every other few years. going to all of these schools becasue your family had to move and such. how did you feel each and everytime you had to move. what i'm going thru is next year im going to my 6th school and i will be a senior in high school. it may not be much to others, but living in one school and changing school during your senior year is kind of hard isn't it. i will be 2 hrs away from my friends, from my family. my problem is, do you really actually deal with the fact that you leave or do you just get over it and just move on from it. for me coming from a small family, i have been somewhat independent till i got to high school, is where i changed to dependent on friends, leaving them is hard for me. school is out in 2 months. its ironic how much i depend on friends right now, yet i have so much problems with friends. maybe its just me and the way i act. moving in 2 months. 2 months before the start of my senior year. new school, new environment, new neighborhood, new city, new county. 2 hrs away from the life i knew of. do you get over it and jsut move on?

i've never moved that many times before, but i was deprived of my home that i lived in for 7 years, and all my friends i knew since i first started going to school. i was pretty sad and what not, but then i discovered that the move was good for me. i was in a better school and now i'm doing things that i would have never done at my old school. i've met more friends then i could have ever imagined having, although i still keep in touch with the friends i still have at my old school. it's about 1.5 hours away. i still manage to visit whenever i have time like the breaks i have off of school and what not. i mean i really enjoy it where i live now and everything. maybe you'll get used to it? the new environment and everything. you just have to try to accept and perhaps it will become easier TO accept, you know? i hope you feel better about leaving ! but you'll make new friends, but that doesn't mean you have to REPLACE your old friends. you can always call and visit. you have to take the initiative to keep in touch if you want to remain friends.

well, idk, i've moved only once i guess im going through nothing compared to u but yeah i know how much moving sucks, && im sorry to hear that you have to move around so much but idk when i moved, i was likee 12 and i moved from the modest home i had lived in all my life to the big and rich city newport and, it really sucks but idk i guess you just kind of bite your lip and try to blend in. there isnt really an option. idk i know im a lame advice giver person but i know what ur going through and i hope for the best for you :].

well, the last time i moved was in kindergarten which doesnt really count since i had no friends that were worth crying over. but if our family moved, id cry. ive got friends here but then again, itd also be good for me. itd be nice to go into a different school as the new girl and see what people think of you.

Um yeah that's going to happen to me. Except i'm a freshman. I'm moving school and state. I don't think i'll be able to just move on that fast.

[--x who0ps]

I've never moved in my life.
But i knew this boy that was in my Summer School who moved like every year.
I think they were runnign from something, but i dont know what.
I also sat next to a boy that has gone to 13 different schools. (he kept getting expelled..)
I have no idea how you feel because .. well i kind of want to move.
My city is rich, but terrible. Full of cheap Asians.
Anyway, although i have no experience, i think that you shouldnt just get over it.
But you shouldnt dwell on it either. Keep in touch with your close friends and visit them once in awhile. It might be a little hard, but try not to think about how it used to be too much.
I had a friend that used to go to my parent's afterschool and summerschoool since like forever. The city that he lived in was 30 min away. He moved to the city that i live in now about two years ago. he's really messed up now. It's like his heart is still at his old school.. :(
Look on the bright side too. You have a fresh new start. New reputation.
Plus, new girls to check out

i am going to move in august.. i'm going to a college 9 hours away (if i get accepted, i havent gotten anything yet).. that's totally gonna suck...

me and my gf have been together for 9 months (well 11 months if u count the breakup/break) but yeah..

we might break up before I go... or in the middle of the summer but yeah... what i'm going to do is establish a really good friendship so i can come back and we could stay good friends and stuff.

[_sarcastic_]

i'm going to move after summer to a new school, states away from my friends here. yeah it does suck but i try to think of the good things i guess. like i'd make new friends.
i don't really want to move. it's my 5th time moving and i'm going to be a junior next year and i have problems fitting in and making new friends since i was young.

I moved my junior year. It is rough in the beginning, but just try to be yourself and reach out to people that seem nice. I made friends pretty quickly because I put on a smile and tried to talk to people. I didn't sit in the back of the room and cry because no one wants to befriend the weird new kid. If you just stay true to who you are and be open, people will be intrigued.

I moved a lot recently. Well only twice ... But I learned how to cope. I take a special trinket that all my friends give me and I keep it with me for as long as I can, to remember all the happy memories. I was content by just doing so and we would call each other on the phone all the time. It made me miss them less. Besides, if you make a lot of friends in your new home and have a lot fun, it won't be as hard to cope.

It's not that bad. My friend moved one quarter after senior year started. I have another friend who moved to our school during the beginning of junior year and left after one semester. And one of my best friends left before senior year starts. What's worse is, I'm moving back to Hong Kong right after I graduate, school's out, but I can't hang out with my friends anymore. You cope, make new friends, although it's still hard.

I've been to five different schools in my life; two elementary ones, two middle schools (one public, one private) and now my highschool. I was never really social and didn't have many friends until this year, so moving schools wasn't much of a problem for me. However, I definitely see where you're coming from. It's really hard to leave your good friends (my friend Kim is moving to Alberta in the summer). Just look at this as a new beginning for you. You can make a bunch of new friends. And who knows, maybe you'll meet your soulmate?

i haven't really experienced it, but i've had best friends that have moved away. it was very sad for me.

I think this topic should just stay where it is because this topic deals with more than just moving.

This is my senior year right now and this is my 7th school. At least you had friends to leave behind, everyone always hated me. In the beginning it was because I was a minority. Then it was because of jealous girls.

It's not like you can change it, you accept it because you have to. You're not dying, you can still keep in touch.

You're acting like you're moving to the other side of the country. It's just TWO HOURS! My brother's girlfriend lives like THREE AND A HALF HOURS away yet he sees her every weekend. It really isn't that bad, you can always visit and keep in touch online, of the like 2-3 friends I had, I had to use snail mail.
