I.
A. Ever wonder why kids really dread moving? Well its not
cause our peers are the easiest to get along with.
B. When kids move from one district to another its not that
bad because they might know someone that lives there. When they move state to
state that’s a WHOLE other story.
C. By the end of this I would hope to make it easier to
understand why in my opinion moving really sucks.
D. Moving isn’t really as great as parents make it to seem.
II.
A. A few months ago I lived in nice sunny Charlotte, North
Carolina.
1. There everything was just so much fun. I guess
living with your older cousins has its perks to.
2. The atmosphere was just much more chilled in
relaxed I didn’t really worry bout anything.
3. I just got so accustomed to everything out
there.
4. Then I got hit with the big surprise. I was
moving back to good old Jersey.
B. Have you ever
watched a cartoon and in the cartoon that character just gets whacked across
the face with something hard and
painful?
1. Well that’s exactly how I felt at that moment.
My jaw just dropped.
2. I stood there so long with my jaw dropped it
actually started to ache a little.
3. Everything was just so surreal. I thought to
myself maybe if I mope long enough and just look flat out depressed my mom
would change her mind.
4. NOPE… We wee still moving and my life was still
ruined forever.
C. Parents don’t understand the struggle to make new
friends.
1. To make new friends we would actually have to
be sociable in a new school and hope that the person who your trying to make
friends with doesn’t think your downright weird.
2. To kids or at least to me its so hard to just
meet new people.
3. Honestly I’d rather be that loner kid that no
one talks to just so I don’t have to actually strike up a conversation with
someone.
D. When I moved to Mays Landing and started Oakcrest I had
idea and one idea only:
1. “If anyone talks to me that’s fine talk to them
make friends. If they don’t oh well you’ll forever be alone.”
2. That is exactly how I went my first week at
Oakcrest.
3. To my advantage people were actually nice and wanted to talk to me.
3. To my advantage people were actually nice and wanted to talk to me.
III.
A. The second week
of school wasn’t as bad I actually survived.
B. I say all this to say moving can be
a great thing if the kids not a teenage kid that’s probably all emotional and
pumped up on
