Moving
Im 13 Female, And Im the 7th grade. Im moving soon, really soon. Im finshing off the 7th grade in the current state that i live in then moving out of it to one thats only 2 hours away. Around here Middle school is 6-8 and see once i move I'll be an 8th grader to a new school, with new people. Im really scared, And Im afraid to face the fact that im leaving everything behind for the better (Where i live now is drug filled and trashed what you'd consider the brighter side og the ghetto since its not that bad as a ghetto) Im scared to move, my mom is pressuring me to start packing my room and I dont want to. I dont want to move, I dont want to leave everything thats always been my comfort. I know moving is for the better, but how can i convice myself that it really truely be a better place for me? or atleast not be so scared. I RATE!

I've been down that road before and it's not fun. It might be easy for you or it might be hard for you to adjust. When I was about 11 I moved from one end of the country to the other. I was just going into 6th grade and it was really scary but also kind of excited. It's normal to be scared but don't shut yourself up when school starts. You have to be social and put yourself out there for people to meet. This sounds like a really good opportunity for you. A place that is trashed and drugfilled is not a good place to grow up. Something new is not always a bad thing. You should be excited. New places, new people, exciting stuff.
and you're only two hours away from where you used to live! You could go up for a long weekend every so often and visit your old friends.
Don't worry, everything will work out for you.
Maybe you should try joing a school club of something you're interested in when you move. Thats a great way to meet people.
Don't make this any harder for yourself. Either way, you're going to move. If you take on a positive attitude then, I think, this will be easier for you.

I kind of know what you're going through. You have it much easier than I did. I used to live in Europe and when I moved I was 8 years old. Well, down there I had my whole family, my friends, my house, and I spoke a different language and that was my comfort zone and of course I didn't want to move across the world! The thing is, I had no choice and even though I was 8 years old, I knew I had to start acting a little bit more mature about the situation because no matter how much I cried I knew I had to move. Well when I came to St.Louis of course I didn't know anyone, I didn't know English and I was starting 3rd grade. I had to learn the language, make new friends, & get used to the school and my new house. It was hard for me but then I went to 4 other schools and had to keep making new friends. You are going to be fine and it's for your own good. Your mom wants what is best for you so just do what she says and you can start a better life once again and make tons new friends! It's okay to be nervous and scared, but you will get used to the place and everything but just give it time. You'll think back and be glad that you moved. You have it good and just relax and look forward to all new things. Good luck hun!
