Being in the military is a tough task for a kid. Mainly due to moving around the country or different places in the world. Many military kids have to leave behind friends and places they would consider home. Some kids could live in a place for years on without getting orders and when they do it saddens them often leading to depression and isolation. Military kids have to adapt to moving around and almost having to make new friends for years on end. Many of these kids end up becoming very annoyed at having to move every 3 or more years to go to a new state or country. But some military kids have taken a liking to moving around alot. They get to see new places and cultures and meet people of different ethnicities with rich beliefs and Religions. However many of these kids, despite seeing amazing sites and wonders, grow tiresome and bored of traveling and often ask when their parents will retire from military duty. Some kids sadly lose their parents on the battlefield leaving some with no way on how to cope with the loss of a family member or parent. This leads many military kids to grow up with 1 or no parents, some end up living with family friends or relatives. But despite all this, military kids persevere through these tragedies and live exemplary lives graduating at the top of their class. This is proof that military kids can Live through their own perseverance.
