My story is very similar to yours that I had near to no help when I made the transition and there were nearly no international students, TCKs or expat kids around. Advice for others: get around some international students/kids.

I was 12 at the time and for whatever reason, the transition was smooth! Maybe it was because a lot of my peers had moved quite a bit and we were all looking for friendly faces and the opportunity to make friends. When I moved to the States from the Azores, there wasn't anything to help with the transition and I didn't get involved with international students nor peer who had moved a lot or at all, for that matter. I think that was a mistake. Now, where I currently live, my closest friends are ones who have moved quite a bit in their lives and understand what it means to be a "transplant".Megzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02181019447551310025noreply@blogger.com
