I moved states from my hometown which I lived my whole life.At first I thought it was going to be great, new people, new surroundings, you know? I just got over getting in a fist fight with a friend and I felt very bad. I prayed every night that we can move. So as you can see I really looked forward to moving away. So far it's been two months, and I wen't to the school here for 2-3 weeks. I don't fit in with the kids AT ALL... I almost got in a fight (The kid taunted me and pushed me, I didn't even do anything! I have a very short temper and I can't take things like that and walk away) and as I haven't moved before, I was very nervous/shy and I never talked, so I never made friends. Now school is over and it's 2 month break. Lately i've been playing video games the WHOLE DAY from wake to sleep. My parents get very annoyed with it and get angry. I can do other things like excercise and read or such. But then I get to thinking, what's the point of excercising? Who do I have to impress? Do I really care anymore? Then everything kicked in at once. I sat on my chair and started thinking... about how EVERYTHING changed ever since I moved. Now i'm stuck here wishing I can just go back. My old friend invited me to go on vacation with his family but my parents won't even think about it. Now, I spend every day playing games and getting very sad at night. Wheres my life going to? Why do I even life? What's the point? And if you are wondering, I'm 15 about to enter High School.Right now it's 3 AM and i'm about to head to bed, i'll be back on tomorrow to read the replys, thank you.

Moved, very sad?

When we move, of course we bring along ourselves and the same insecurities. However, it's an opportunity for a fresh start, and the summer vacation gives you a new opportunity. Try to make some friends over summer. People are often bored and looking for new things. Get to the mall or other places where people go, and say hi to people.

I've also heard that mvoing makes a lot of people sad or miss their old place (obviously).But you should look at this as a new opportunity. Think about this: You probably know have people that either don't like you or you regret doing something with someone. Now you are in a new place and all that is gone (except when you go back to visit or whatever) and you'll have a chance to meet all new people, and probably do lots of new things.I think it's all on how you look at things. Turn this moving into a positive thing.

Well said, my friend.I moved from Indiana to Kentucky when I was 16. I was really having a rough time with it. I loved my school and my friends. But there was nothing I could do. My parents said I made a couple of negative comments about it, but for the most part I really dove in and tried to make the best of it. After about 20 months, I was so glad we had moved. It became a really positive thing for me, even at that point. (Although I am still a died-in-the-wool Hooser! got kelvin?)
