Nallie answered Tuesday April 11 2006, 8:03 pm: The unsettled feeling such as you describe usually starts a little older, but if you are mature for your age then you could be feeling it now. You are growing up and emotionally moving apart from your parents. Moving won't help you find contentment, because it starts inside you, in your heart, where ever you are. It's not something that you can find by traveling to a new place. My suggestion is to find ways to help people, when we help others we also help ourselves. I think you might be bored with things at home. Volunteer at a church nursery, nursing home, day care or help younger neighbor kids with their homework. When you graduate from HS plan to attend college in another state..that way you will get to see new things, but for now you can create contentment at home.

It may not be exactly what you're looking for but it will give you a chance to get out of town and see a little more of the world. It might help with the restless feelings you've been experiencing.

NinjaNeer answered Monday April 10 2006, 11:59 pm: I have a few friends who grew up in small towns, so I know how you feel. Just wait a while, tough out the next 4-5 years, and go to school somewhere else. It will let you keep your roots in your town, but you can still expand your horizons. I know it sounds hard, but you have your whole life ahead of you to explore!
