No child should ever have to go through what I did as a child, It was all taken away from me as a child, there was nothing I could do about it…….
Leaving home and moving far away from friends and family can be extremely on a child at a young age. I'd say it has its pros and cons. One learns how to deal with moving from the people they love and cherish, also learns how to deal with adjusting to new ways of life. Everything seems so divergent at a young age one feels like they have just left the world behind them. That was an encounter that changed my life. It taught me how to deal with change in my life and how to adjust. It made me from a young boy into a mature young man. The day I moved away, tons of things were going through my head.

It felt like I went back in time and redid almost everything I did bad and regret. But when I did think about cons it always hit me hard. My parents had gotten a divorce which forced me to go with dad to a different city. I was taken was from my great friends and family. I had moved from Mansfield OH, Mount Vernon OH, to Tiffin OH, it was hell. So many friends found and lost, I didn't even get to say a proper goodbye and I would miss so much school because I had to stay home and help pack, my grades plummeted as the years went on. As soon as we were settled and had everything figured out, I had to really hit the books to get the marks I wanted. Also, I was attending a new school, I didn't have any friends! It's a good thing I'm an easy person to get along with. I made many friends, real fast. I, not the usual Tiffin Columbian student, I'd say I stand out a little. The day I joined the basketball I meet nearly 30 people on point and became great friends with all of them and that friend group continued to grow as the year went on. Speaking of the year going on all this occurred when I was a freshman, I'm a senior now. Time flies and we learn how to cherish special moments and be thankful for what we have. And I'm very thankful for everything that I have in my life at the moment. Things might not have gone the way I wanted to when I was young but I guess something made up for it later because life is great at this moment. But that is not the case for everyone. No one should have to deal with their parents getting a divorce because it's a terrible experience and can make it hard to carry on. So I ask those who parents are still together to make every second count, because if it ever becomes over at one point you'll never know where life can take
This could make the child or young person frustrated because they are being torn away from either their favourite place or even their friends, when a child or young person moves away they may feel lost or scared lonely or even anxious this could possible end in depression and the child or young persons behaviour in nursery or school.
Bags and bags of packages were traveling to the opposite side of the world during the summer of 2009, and it was time to get settled down again, in an unfamiliar environment. It was strange when I took my first step into this new country--a place where I have never been to before.
Fifteen year old Danny shivered as Dennis threatened, “I’m going to kick your little ass and teach you a lesson you’ll never forget.”
Moving far away from family and friends can be tough on a child at a young age. It has its pros and cons. One learns how to deal with moving away from the people they love and also learn how to deal with adjusting to new ways of life. Everything seems so different and at a young age one feels like they have just left the whole world behind them. That was an experience that changed my life as a person. It taught me how to deal with change and how to adjust. It developed me from a young boy into a mature young man.
Nobody really likes to move. At least, I know I don’t. We were living with my grandparents in Tashkent when I was in second grade. We moved into our house in Manhattan when I was about 9 years old. Life was going great. I had lots of good friends that I had been around for a lot. I really liked where we were living and I did not want to leave what I had always known.
Moving happens frequently, about fourteen percent of Americans move each year. It doesn’t seem like a lot, but it is about 46,778,674 American citizens, that’s each year alone. If it hasn’t happened consider yourself lucky. If you’ve never personally moved, chances are probably know someone who has. The struggles that come along with moving can start off calm and fine but the reality of what is being left behind sets in and just realizing that everything has changed. I’ve moved three times, each time to completely new locations, new places I’ve never seen, and new faces I hadn’t met. The first time I moved it was life-changing. I was moving from the suburbs of Coppell, Texas to Albany, Georgia.
“Honey, I got laid off again” my dad told my mom when I was about ten years old. At the time though, I didn’t know what was going on, so I really didn’t think anything of it. As I got older though it started to get clearer that he didn’t have his job anymore. That’s when i started to ask question on why he doesn’t have a job anymore. But during during the ages 12 and 15 he had gotten rehired by the same company, and then they laid him off again. The second time though, it took a pretty bad toll on us financially.
But Santa added a little twist when it came his turn. The table not only moved, but switched ends in mid air. “Good,” Sly said, “Very good.” “Now please return to you seats at the table. Standing Sly looked at each one then sit down on their stools. “Gentlemen,” he said. “You have been taught this way to move things for only one reason." "And that is to help deliver presents on Christmas Eve.” It cannot be used to entertain others or to better position yourself."
In the heat of summer 2011, I moved from small town Statesboro, Georgia to Columbia, South Carolina. I was only six at the time, so I hadn’t really thought much about moving to a new house, new school, or even a whole other state. In actual fact, I was mostly enthusiastic about moving. This was a both positive and negative experience for my whole family. This was the year my whole life changed.
Everyone’s life has changed when they had to go into hiding, when their time came. They were scared and didn’t know what to do, they no longer had a life to live anymore. Anne was motivated to strive for change when she and her family were separated by her family. Not being able to see everyone she loved and not being with them anymore. She wanted to be different from everyone and go out and do things on her own, by writing.
Roxanne watched him levelly, and nodded slightly as he withdrew a key. "Jim or James, it is. Maybe Jimmy, Jimbo, or anything else I can think of where warranted." She couldn't help but smirk. She wondered if any combination of nicknames would irritate him. Was it petty for her to want to find something to do so if the opportunity presented itself? She might be a tad-bit spiteful for some time for being roped into all of this. Ultimately, though, she just needed to keep reminding herself of the benefits of this. She would get off scot-free and her car would be back in her possession. Very briefly, she wondered if she should move when - or perhaps if - this little debacle was over. It was something she would ponder later, for he was moving towards

Moving to a different area that is larger can be difficult and frightening all at the same time. When I was fourteen, I moved from my small town, Glasgow, to a big city known as Columbia. Not only did I move to an unfamiliar city; however, I moved in with a man who had a similar appearance like me. He had the same brown hair, brown eyes, tan skin, even our noses were the same. Be that as it may, this man was not unfamiliar to me because I had seen him in many pictures with me. Although I did not personally know him, my mother said that he was my father. As I began packing, I sat on my small twin size bed and started to wonder how my mother could just let me go. I was leaving my home that I had been use to for a long time with a strange man
I was the only one that didn’t know. My family was hiding something for me, but I didn’t know what it was. Today was like any other day. We had Math, English, Science, Social Studies, Gym, lunch, and my favorite recess. I heard the bell ring telling us it was time to go home. I jumped to my locker, grabbed my books and headed to the bus. When I went home my mom was cooking. She told me that tonight we were going to have a family meeting. It was strange, it felt like my mom was hiding something from me and my brother, something important. I answered, Yes mom and dash to my room. I finished my homework and quickly rushed downstairs. When I scurry downstairs I heard my dad arriving home from work. As usual I ran to hug him. He whispered me the
Some would say moving is a terrible situation for children, and that it could harm their well-being, but in my experience, it changed me for the better. Relocating is a difficult situation for any child or teenager. Moving forces you to leave behind all of your friends, but also gives you no choice but to make new ones. In school, you abandon your current curriculum and lessons and trade them for new ones. Which, in turn, teaches you how to catch on to new ideas and topics rather quickly. They say hindsight is 20/20, and I couldn’t agree more.
