  Moving is so difficult, but I'm so used to it. I've moved around my whole life. Never staying in one place for more than three years. My dads in the military and my mom's a stay at home mother.
  People always refer to me and my siblings as  "military brats" I don't know why but for some reason I hate it. My siblings don't care but they've always been so carefree. My siblings are literally the most chilled laid back people out there, and then there's me. I'm so self conscious and such a suck up. The only time I stick up to people is when it has something to do with my siblings.
  Even though my mom stays at home all day, cooks, cleans, and all that stuff I still feel like a parent to my little sisters and older brother. They come to me for the emotional stuff and for support. They go to my mom for food and money.
  We switch schools so often and that leaves my siblings to come to me everytime something bad happens at school. I'm like their personal therapist. Sometimes it becomes so stressful because I have my own thoughts and feelings but no one to talk to. No friends and I don't want to burden my family.
  They all make new friends everytime we move but me, I've stopped trying. Whenever we move I just keep to myself. I wake up, go to school, come home, go to bed, and repeat. At every new school I was basically a nobody but my siblings were always so popular. They tried to involve me but I always found it so usless.
  I hope this year is different. Just our big family of 8 a whole new place and new life. No military, no more moving, a stable life. Mom and dad with a 9-5 and kids with a stable school life.

This year WILL be different
