Why being a military child is so hard

Being a military child is hard because you have to travel with your parents to the place your parents boss told them they had to go. I have experienced this because my dad is in the Navy so I'm a military child. I personally don’t like to be a military child because like I said you have to move and maybe you have a lot of friends in one country but then you have to move and make new friends. I used to live in Sydney, Australia but then I had to move to Japan because of my dad’s job. It was tough. I didn’t want to move but I had to accept it. I moved to Japan in December of 2021.


My family flew to Japan. We lived in Navy Lodge because our apartment wasn’t ready yet. Since I was a kid, the people told me that I had to stay inside for a week. It was pretty boring. Then we moved to our apartment. I started going to school. It was pretty different from my old school but I got used to it. Being a military child isn’t the best and I don’t like it. That is why I find it hard to be a military child.
