Why It is Challenging to be a Military Child

In my opinion being a military child is challenging because it brings stress and anxiety to your life. Like every time you move you have to go on a flight, and temporarily that is every three years. With moving you have to leave all your friends behind and maybe even not see your family for a long time. When you move it could mess up your school like if you are in the end of high school and you move right before your graduation you could not get your diploma. Or if you really like your teacher and have to move mid year.


More reasons why being a military child can be rough because sometimes you move somewhere where you don't like it there. Like a place that has no chick fil a or water parks. Sometimes there's people that you don’t like at your school. With moving every three years is hard because you get attached to the place that you are at. So when you move it is sad to leave everything behind. Moving is also annoying because every three years you have to carry heavy luggage and sort boxes and stuff.


In conclusion, moving is really tough because you have to handle a lot of stuff like unpacking bags. Or carrying heavy things, or being away from loved ones. Even just arriving at a new place. Did you know that demployments can go on for 15 months, that's 15 months without your mom or dad. That is why being a military child is challenging.
