i'm 15. i know lots of people have to deal with moving. but i really dont think i can take it. i go to a school with 200 people. and my new school will have 3000. not to mention how i'll be treated there. whenever we go on holiday somewhere, i get treated like crap because im from here. it doesnt make sense.... im just really upset about the whole thing. does anyone have any advise for me?

Bad break kid, but here's some advice:
1) I've lived in the Baltimore/DC area pretty much my whole life. It's not so bad really. Demographics around DC are mostly affluent and educated.
2) Life is going to throw some disappointments at you. The sooner you get some skills at overcoming adversity, the better off you'll be over your entire life.
3) You can always find a good therapist in 20 or so years and blame everything on your parents.
Good luck.

when they moved to new mexico, my coworker's daughter stayed with family friends until graduating high school. is that a possibility? or else enroll at Hawai'i Prepatory Academy on the Big Island, as they have dorms. The other way to look at the situation is to consider making the most out of Wash. DC. Volunteer at Senator Inouye's office!!! And then apply for undergrad admissions at University of Hawai'i when you graduate from high school! I understand that it's hard to leave, but you will gain a lot of experience, insight, and perspective by leaving Hawai'i for a few years. You can always come back! And do try the HPA option! Hang in there.
p.s. One last thought, if you are Hawaiian, apply to the Kamehameha Kapalama Campus b/c they have also have boarding facilities.

Well, first of all, which high school are you going to, and are you moving to DC, Virginia, or Maryland.
Don't worry about it though. I've lived in Virginia (DC area) all my life. I like it, although a lot of people don't. We have some of the best schools in the country (my school is like number 164 or something). Anyway, I know it stinks. I wouldn't want to move either. But the people here are really nice (most of them anyway.) SO don't worry! Getting out of it?? Well, no advice there. Sorry. I wish I could give you something but o well.

OK, so you have to live there a minimum of three years.... take the time to see the east coast. You arent looking forward to the different ways of living but there is a lot of things to do and places to go while you are there..... I hear the potomac river has some great surfing when the ice melts (just kidding - you have to have a good sense of humor when you're from the midwest!)

You could try getting arrested. ( That was a joke please don't) If your not 18 yet Suck it up is about the best advise and get a job back there when you turn 18. If you are over 18 just get a job and find your own place

Sorry to give you my honest opinion, but I lived near D.C. for a year, and got out as fast I could. I hated it there, and most people (except for the ultra-rich snobs) hate it there, too.

AFTER D.C. YOU CAN RETURN AGAIN AND LIVE HAPPILY EVERAFTER. LIFE SHOULDNT BE ONE BIG VACATION. WE HAVE TO TRAIN FOR JOBS AND SUPPORT OURSELVES AND FAMILY ETC.
