Moving our 12 year old after one year at our local comp to a private school further away is causing us all heartache. How can we help her keep her chin up when all she wants is to go back to the easy life and friends she had before. The new school is so much better for her, but it doesn't look that way to her just now. The old friends are already moving on and it will take a while to make new ones, so in the meantime it all feels like a betrayal to her. Must be a lot of kids in the same boat just now with the new term. If I feel this bad, how bad must she feel!
