was it really hard ? tell me about it. :)

Answer 1

Moving is always hard i have moved 5 times.. and being new is hard.. but, in some cases its good to start fresh and meet new people. Each place I've gone I've made friends and learned new things that changed my life. change is good but it all depends on how you see it. and being new in school is nice because u have a chance to make a new reputation for yourself.

Answer 2

I moved the summer after 4th grade from Queens to Long Island.

It sucked, I'm not going to lie. I have separation anxiety and I'm also compulsive, so I have a lot of issues with change and stuff. But I would imagine even without those issues, leaving everything you ever knew and having to start over.

The worst part about it was I didn't see the friends I had grown so close with for months at a time. We would talk on the computer, but I never ever got to see them! It's about a 40 minute drive (which I know is nothing compared to the moves that other people go through).

Also, having to call a new location "home" can be difficult because for a long time, your house is not going to feel like your house. It's going to feel like a hotel that you don't feel attached to.

Answer 3

I used to live in Brasil. Until I was 13, I had moved about 4 or 5 times within Brasil, around three different states. They all sucked... -_- Different school, different friends... you really have to keep in touch at all times to keep a friendship after moving. (one of the reasons I don't have many friends) But you always adapt after a month or two.

When I turned 14, I moved to another country, US. It was hell, absolute hell. Getting green cards, checking visas, packing, leaving a lot of things behind, learning another language, another culture, nothing's familiar.
The first year was tough and I had panic attacks every night. After that it got better. I've been here for about 6 years now, and I would not move back if given the chance. I miss it a lot, yes, but it's been too long, and I'd have to go through all that again.

Answer 4

When I was a teenager we moved eight times in one school year. The first time we moved I could only take one box of my stuff along with my clothes. It was hard to leave all of my friends behind. I eventually got used to the moving. Now, as an adult I am glad we moved so much. I know it seems odd to say such a thing but, I saw so many neat places. So, to answer your question, yes it is hard to move but it is very much worth it.

Answer 5

I have moved all over the United States and even over seas. I loved it. I enjoy being in new surroundings and having the ability to meet new people. It was never and still isn't hard for me. I grew up with a military family and my husband is in the military, so I hope I will continue moving for the majority of my life. So far, I have lived in 7 states and 2 countries. I hope to keep that number rising.

Answer 6

I moved in the fourth grade from Boston to San Francisco. I was bummed so much and I might never even forgive my parents. When I left Boston I was heartbroken to leave everything I had ever known behind. In California, the two cities were very alike. The school I attended had a bunch of mean girls. They talked about me behind my back and it took a while to make new friends. Moving doesn't have to be too difficult if you learn to move on in your life. I'm still trying to learn to cope with what I'm dealing instead of thinking of how happy I could've been if I still lived in Boston.

In retrospect, there will always be change in your life. When you graduate from high school you're off to college where you might not even know anyone. But change is good because you're moving on in life, and you're going to have to learn how to deal with the situation you're in. I used to think my life was pretty sucky, but as long as you're safe and with a loving family, you should be pretty grateful.

Answer 7

No, I've moved about 5 times in my life. I'm 15. It was never really hard, we had people come and help. The really hard part was cleaning my room, and getting everything packed. It just took a while. I've moved from maryland, to illinois, then to another part of illinois, then from there we moved to an apartment in virginia, then to a town home in VA, then moved to maryland, then to another house in maryland. The other hardest part was leaving friends. Its always hard on friendships and stuff. Its hard enough for me to make friends when being in one place, than moving when I've made friends, and have to leave. I'm pretty young, so when I moved from Illinois to VA, I couldn't get much information from old friends, and be able to call, or talk to them. Just recently I got in touch with one of those friends on Myspace. But I haven't said one word to this person, its been so long, I don't even know what to say. They remember me, but its just been so long, we may have grown up as two different people. Plus since moving to Maryland, i've built some friendships, but for some strange reason, when we got to high school, this one really good friend and I just stopped talking. I see them in the hallway and greet them, but we are going to different classes. I've never really had good friends. I've been to the occasional birthday party in my life, but I don't really hang out afterschool. In 5th, 6th, and seventh grade, me and this other person who was my neighbor hanged out and played basketball, or soccer after school and on weekends. This was the first, and only person where we actually saw each other after school, but at school we didn't talk much. Now in highschool, we don't talk at all. Again, we've grown up as different people, he is more in the skater crowd, while i'm in the just that person crowd. I'm not in some kind of clique, but more though that I make some friends and only talk to them at school.

Answer 8

I have. a very unpleasant experience.

you practically have to carefully put everything in air-tight boxes, call the moving truck which costs upwards of $50 an hour, say "I'll miss you" and stuff to your friends, mortgage and sell your house, stay in a cheap flea-bag motel and order takeout most of the time, move halfway across the country, hunt endlessly for a good house, do paint jobs all over, then unpack EVERYTHING and adjust them to their new setting.

This process takes 3 months at least.

Answer 9

i moved like 4 blocks away from my old house a year ago and that was fine everything was the same except i was living in a bigger house

my friend moved from boston to california which she said was hell at first because she didn't know anyone and everyone in california is sooo different from people in boston but now shes really happy that she moved because its great out here

Answer 10

Never very far, but the whole packing, hauling, moving, unpacking thing is a pain in the ying yang.

The rule is if you haven't opened a box a year after being there you don't need it.
