Hi there,

We have been in Brisbane for nearly 4 weeks and our 15 year old daughter is struggling to adjust and make friends. Is there any teenagers out there who can help Laura by showing her what is in the City, where teenagers 'hang out' and what there is to do? She usually has an outgoing personality (but has been very quite since we have been here) and into rock music.

Any help or suggestions would be very welcomed.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

sorry can't really help - aside from say 'give her time'.

We moved out here with our 14 year old daughter and it took her about 3 months to begin to 'normal' as how she would put it.

Get her on this site and ask her to PM my daughter who is 16 just - here user name is berra girl.

Is she in school yet? Our 13 year old was a nightmare (for many reasons previously gone into on here) but unfortunately was out of school for over two months. Once she was there, meeting kids her age and finding out what they did and where she settled quickly.

Can't be much help, as I have no kids, but whereabouts are you? north or south? We might be able to come up with people who can help if we have more of an idea of area?

Thanks for the support and advice it is very welcomed.

We are living in Balmoral for the next three weeks but will be moving to one of the northern suburbs after that. At the moment we have applied for a rental in Carseldine and await to hear if we have got it.

Are there any family 'meet ups' soon where Laura could meet other people her age?

Any other help you could give would be great.


John.

I can't offer any advice but just wanted to say that I hope she will settle in soon.
