why do we have to be in the military, moving across the country every damn time I finally get settled. Every 2-3 years I am completely uprooted, leaving behind all I’ve ever know for my dads stupid job. And I’ve tolerated it for thirteen years but I just can’t do it anymore. We’ve moved 5 times already, 5 times. And next year we might be moving again and I just can’t mentally do it again. I really honestly truly can’t. I’m shy and anxious, not the best at making friends so it’s hard enough. And I’m jealous that everyone around me gets to hang out with their friends since kindergarten while I always feel like an outsider. No matter how hard I try I’ll never really fit in. I’m always the weird new kid because every year I have to switch schools for this or that reason. Either one shuts down or another is crap or we switch to the very last grade at one.
I’m just so tired and done and jealous and sad and lonely and unhappy and overwhelmed and it’s already hard enough that I’m in eighth grade. I’m done I’m so damn done with this. And every time I try to bring it up with my parents all they do is tell me “I don’t have it SO hard” and that “kids are starving and homeless, be happy ur in a good home.” They’re great parents and I love them, don’t get me wrong, but they just don’t understand me. Nobody can.

Fair vs Unfair
Haven't showered in 4 days. Mom says kids need to and I can just pull my hair back. Not wrong, but not right. I have work and courses to take. Can't live on...
Hey man,
I may not completely get it (as I've never experienced multiple moves), but I understand dysfunction. I see why you would feel overwhelmed and out of place these days. Moving within itself is difficult, and I can't imagine it having to do it multiple times...Especially in your middle elementary-middle school years.
Your feelings matter, bro. However you're feeling is completely valid. This type of thing is insanely rough, so I am proud of you for persevering nonetheless. Don't let comments such as "you could have it worse/it's not that bad" distort your emotions. This IS a difficult period of time. Moving IS hard because it means having to constantly changing your life. So, how you're feeling is completely appropriate.
Yo, props to you. Thank you for being here and thank you for speaking about this. All I can offer is some encouragement. Please remember that you're stronger than you think. Everything will fall into place eventually, I promise. Life will continue to shift, causing to you to adjust, but that's just apart of the deal. However, I have faith that one day you will feel secure in your relationships (including friendships and yourself), and your environment.
You got this! Keep on going. It will become easier, friend!
I wish you the best of luck:)
