Sorry if it's too long. I'm from the Philippines and I've been moving countries a lot because my father's a diplomat. I've experienced this a lot before but this time it's different. I stayed in Indonesia for two years, and before that, like a lot of Filipino kids, I liked all those anime and liked playing PS3 all the time and like that. When I moved to Indonesia, my friends (International School) weren't into those anymore. Well, I overcame that quickly and soon I started losing interest in those things. Instead, I talked with my friends about what's happening and barely talked about video games. I changed a lot and that was where I matured and sometimes got close to girls. I had the best time there even though the education wasn't the best, I still enjoyed my time there with my friends and the place. Soon, my dad got assigned to Hong Kong. My older brother was having trouble making friends at the time and by the time he had made a lot of friends it was too late and that was actually the reason my dad looked for reassignment. I know Hong Kong is a nice place. I got a new school here and they still like all sorts of anime and playing video games a lot. I had wanted to buy an XBox but by that time I was already uninterested. And my classmates are really disrespectful to teachers have no discipline and I'm not used to that since my old classmates were already "Grown up". And I can't really seem to find anything much in common with them. I like soccer, while they only play basketball most of the time and only that. I like basketball but it's not really what I want to play. Foreigners in my school are separated from the local people and my classmates don't seem to have any contact at all with local students (and none of the foreigners play soccer). I'm feeling really depressed right now and I miss my old friends and school and want to go back a lot since I had the best time there but it's not possible since my dad can't be assigned back there again. Also, how can I convince my parents to allow my brother to move to another country by himself? He wants to go back to Indonesia because he wants to graduate from High School with people that he actually knows. He's turning 18 this year anyway and the teachers from our old school said they will take care of him in the dorm. My mom worries about what might happen if he gets sick but besides it's expensive. Still, I feel sorry for him. Well? Can anyone tell me how I can get used to new schools with almost anyone I know has no interests the same as me? And I don't want to go back to my home country. Please I want someone who can answer sensibly. If you're just going to troll or anything else not related don't answer.... Read More »
