Moving... Let's just say that there is a reason for the 7.3 million Google results for "I hate moving"!
TC can't magically transport your friends, but we can help you get ready. Our "Going Overseas" classes have break-out sessions, so you can meet others going through the same thing without an adult telling you to "think positive!" (The Foreign Service Youth Foundation is a good place for that, too).
We also offer Young Diplomats Day and Youth Security Overseas Seminar so that you are as prepared as possible for your new life.
Don't forget that TC's Overseas Briefing Center has lots of information about most posts, plus DVDs on some. Some of the KidVids were made by other high school students!
Teen Central ("Totally real. Totally anonymous. Totally yours.") is a site where teens advise other teens on all kinds of issues.
Military Teens on the Move offers lots of help for kids moving.
