We moved here when my son had just finished his junior year in HS. He was not a happy camper to say the least (girlfriend left behind as well). Our saving grace, he was an athletic, and once his senior year started he had a great group of friends.
He survived and went on to NCState after graduation. That was many years ago now. I am going to ask him just how bad it was and if he would do the same today if in my shoes back then.
