<p>Hello students,</p>

<p>I have a thread going in the Parent Cafe about this, but I am starting a thread here too, because I would like to get the prespective of some students. The details are spelled out in the thread on Parent Cafe with a similar title, but the main question is summarized in the title of this thread: </p>

<p>How miserable is it to move between sophomore and junior year of high school?</p>

<p>I would like to hear from students who had moved during high school. What was the social, academic, personal, or other consequence of moving? How did you cope? What was the worst and best part of moving? Thank you very much.</p>

<p>It's not that bad, when you go to your new school join a few clubs/sports and you'll find a foundation fo friends similar to you..it's not that hard to adapt. Don't sweat it. I mean you'll miss your old school/city a little bit, but you get over it pretty quick.</p>

<p>I guess it depends where you're moving to. I moved from Pennsylvania all the way to Colorado in August (between my sophomore and junior year). It was weird to move here and not really know anyone, especially knowing that I'd only be knowing them for 2 years before we all headed off to college. I also tried to befriend probably the worst group of girls... it didn't end up working out because they were all clique-y and had already established themselves. It took a little while but I eventually found my place in a new HS. If you have a son, I don't think he'll have any problems fitting in, but I think girls are a little less open to the "new girl" in school. It all works out in the end though.</p>

<p>hey vicariousparent</p>

<p>I am in the same situation, I am moving from a small town (60k people) into our state's number 1 city. The town i live now is the first place i landed in america 5 years ago. I think I am definitely ready for some changes.</p>

<p>I think I will join new clubs and make new friends. Plus I will have more opportunities in the new town with all the new resources that will be available to me.</p>

<p>The transition between sophomore and junior year is a good one. That might not be the case if you're moving schools though. I moved between freshman and sophomore year, and I hated (and still do) my new school, but I'm completely fine going there since I keep in touch and go out with my old friends almost every weekend.</p>
