“It’s hard to pick up your life and have to go through the whole ‘fitting in again’ process.”


“My last move would have been made easier if there had been things in place to help me adjust to a completely different area.”


“I wish we could stay in the same place and not move every two years.”


“I enjoy life in the RAF however it does make my decisions in the next year and a bit a little bit harder as I don’t know what’s going to happen posting wise and how that will affect my university choices.”


“I help out at Brownies and help deliver the Road Rep leaflets.”


“It’s about time people started listening to the kids.”
