I'm 13 years old and i was born in England, but i move to California when i was 10. I'm always finding myself stuck between the two now, when i go back to England, i miss America and same the other way. But i also feel like i don't belong anywhere, i haven't quite adjusted to American way of life yet but i don't fit in with England anymore. I'm half and half, the odd one out. Any adivce?

god i feel the same way, im stuck between china and Los Angeles lol...i grew up in china till i was 9 then came here now im 19, hows that for half and half (9x9=19 lol). do u know how much differenece in culture these 2 countries have? it wasnt easy growing up here and untill recent years, i always missed china because i saw that as my childhood and america, the end of it. then i went back to china just a few month ago and those memories from childhood that make your heart smile just isnt there anymore, i couldnt find it anywhere. when i left china on the plane is when i realized that this time i'm not going to somewhere totally unknown but i'm going home. the thing is, u gotta make ur past and ur future one of the same things because they are. The best advice i can give you is Dont look back, not everyone gets a new chapter in life.

Always think positive ideas between the two places. We have the same experience. I am a Filipino. I grew up in America. When I turn 14 We move now in the Philippines. At first I am not comfortable in the places. Most of all the climate but later I have adjusted myself. I always find some beautiful places here in the Philippines. Now I am 16. If I were you accept the way of life both of the two places.

Hey Poptart, I was born and raised in California and, at 13, myself and several of my friends felt like we didn't belong anywhere either. But a lot of us have that in common.
I think part of what your feeling may be related to being between childhood and adulthood. However, I still have similar feelings about several cities I've lived in and several of my friends who had parents in the military have expressed similar feelings.
I always just accepted that home was where the family was and found people who had similar interests to hang out with. As you mature and your interests change you will move from group to group and, perhaps town to town.
I have found that people are basically the same everywhere. There are a small percentage of creeps of one sort or another, a small percentage who are almost saints and the rest of us are somewhere in between.
I believe that birds of a feather do tend to flock together so just relax and eventually you will find a few like souls to flock with. Then, in about 5 -10 years you will have experienced enough to be ready to decide where you want to make your home.
Hope this helped you some.

Just think of it this way, You have the best of both worlds! Of course you fit in, Don't feel that way, Give it some time, You'll adjust. Good luck.

being the odd one out for me is fun. if your not sure about england or the US, then move somewhere else! I love australia. also, you could choose which of the places has more friends, or which of the places you have happy memories from the most.

stop going back and forth if that's possible or just except the fact. You should get your parents in discussion about this and they should help you with your decision you are still just a kid.

JUST ENJOY THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS, YOUNG LADY.
THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD WHO HAVE NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE OUT OF THEIR CITIES, FORGET ABOUT THE STATE & THE COUNTRY.
IN THAT RESPECT YOU ARE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE THE RESOURCES TO TRAVEL AROUND WITH YOUR PARENTS. THIS IS A TRIVIAL ISSUE, NOT WORTH WASTING YOUR TIME OVER.
