Hi ! Your father was military? If not, he was probably a salesman or something like that?
Anyway, moving so often is so very difficult for the kids. They don't have any stability in their lives, and certainly cannot make many GOOD friends -- the kind that stay with you for years. The minute you make a good friend, it's time to move again, and you haven't really established that friendship enough to call them "good" friends.
So on to the next school and more of the same. It takes a long time to make friends. The kids look at you as an "outsider" and many times make fun of you and treat you badly just because you ARE the 'newbie.' It's not until you're ready to move again that you finally do make friends, and those friendships are lost again.
On to the next school, and yadayadayada............
I just can't imagine living like that. It had to have had a very negative effect on you. You didn't get to go to all the parties, or the dances or proms. You missed out alot on the festivities. That's rotten.  I'm so sorry you didn't have all those experiences in school.
Are you going to college? If so, you can participate in all those things in college! That will be a riot! If you're not, well --- I'm sure you'll get a job, and people you know will have some parties and you can participate in those. Just be careful that you dont drink & drive!  But there are lots of things you can do as an adult as long as you're careful!
I wish you the very best. Please take care. God bless. Hugs, Lee
