I've got a good life great friends and everything but something's missing.. please help me?

Question

So I'm 16 years old, on the varsity soccer team and have the life that a lot of kids in my school want to have. I have a lot of friends but I still feel pretty empty. I've moved 5 times in the past 3 years, and all of my real friends are down where I spent the first 14 years of my life. I moved back once, but didn't stay for more then a year. No one where I live now really understands what I'm going through, so I have no one to tlak to about it and no one to help me through this. If there's anyone out there who's willing to get to know a stranger, or is willing to listen, send me an email and we can talk.

16, Yea that was about when it hit me the hardest. A little background here. I'm 26 years old, but spend the frist 15 years of my life moving, was about 7 times. Was a military brat, so I undertand your pain, new place, new school, during that time is pretty painful, mostly because people are not as open as they pretend to be with the new person. That aside, purpose is becoming a bigger, and bigger issue as you get thru the teen years. And becomes unbariable as the years pile on. But thats realy your fix, finding purpose. Soccor, friends, and school are all nice and good but have a tendency to leave the most nobel person pretty empty. Usually this is were religion would REALLY become a big part of our lives, unfornutly society doesn't really allow us that route to the intensity that it deserves. So were left to find out our own spirtuality thru our own process of self-discovery. This is an extremely hard process to do by yourself. Best you can hope for right now is friends that understand this and help you cope with it. I wish you the best of luck with this endaviour.....
