14-16 year olds in gold coast area?

[Jockeylad]

We are moving to the sunshine coast, so not far away from you, about 2 hours. The year thing is a bit annoying, they are a semester behinde us so i will have to go back to being a year 8 for a term and then move up again, or something like that anyway. I definetly want to get more involved in sport out there, like rowing, surfing, beach volleyball, basically all the sports that we dont really get an opportunity to do over here. Oh and by the way im in year 8 about to go into year 9. So maybe when you get in Aussie, we can meet up and i can give you some tips and help you with some things like school info and stuff?

I'm in year nine at the moment! I still don't understand the whole school thing! I'm sure we will be able to settle in fine though! Yeah that would be great to know people when I get out there! I have spoken to quite a few people who have moved out to the gold coast and they all love it! Getting more sporty will be easy to do! They have so many sporting opportunities! And the weather will be good making outdoor sports enjoyable! Unlike England! Haha

YEP! Instead of your pe teacher saying come on lets do rounders, they will be saying... come on we are doing surfing! How amazing! I dont really get the school thing either its a bit hard to understand, because we are used to the way it works over here. Im sure it will be easy enough to understand when we are actually at school. So i m a year behinde you then, i cant wait till year 9, is it good? I have heard that the girls get even bitchier than now, and if im honest im not really the mean type of person, i dont really argue with my friends, or anyone else, so i guess im just not that way like some girls at my school. Like all girls i can be a bit mean at times, if i have to stand up for myself. But dont worry, im not under confident myself, but im not over confident, im just in the middle. I dont think i need to become any more confident, im happy being the way i am now. The weather will definetly be nicer over there, a lot nicer. I mean have you seen how much rain we have had latley, it's starting to depress me a bit if im honest, so thats when i just daydream about australia, and think to myself its not long now, because for my family it's roughly 9-10 months, so im very excited and im counting down the months i know it may seem a bit sad but yyaannoooo ;)

[Loopieloo]

Haha! Not at all! I'm counting down too! Haha! I have like a countdown on my ipod! (maybe it is sad) hahaha!Yes yes! It's is true! The girls do act that way! Some of them have so much confidence it's unbelievable! But to be honest I don't hang out with them! I have about 10really really close friends! Four boys six girls! Every lunch we just move away from all the "popular" people and eat outside somewhere else and just chat! It's really nice because we are such close mates! I wouldn't say I was popular haha! But I'm happy with my friends because we share the same interests and get along! And that is all what matters! I have my frineds which are confident, some friends which are funny! Some friends which are really into the same music as me! And some which just like everything i like! We go out quite a lot! But the weather ruins it most time! What do you like doing when you go out with your friends? We usally go to town or just Sit in a park! Haha! We always just go out eat and then chill with a milkshake In the arcade! Haha! It actually really fun! :)That's actually really weird because I was made to play rounders today...in the rain and last lesson! It's hell! I actually hate it! I know the rain is actually so depressing! I am hoping to go to a festival next weekend and if the weather is like this it's going to be horrible!

Im the same with my mates, im not the most poplar girl in school, but i like that. I know a lot of people, and talk to a lot of people, but i aleways have my close mates, like you do, that are a mix of boys and girls. Im confident , but i dont want to be popular, because you get into arguments a lot more, thats why i stay with my group of close mates. Normally we will meet up in the town centre and go shopping, or i will go round to theirs, something like that anyway. RAIN! Today me and my mates were walking to the school gym, to do PE, and it started to rain heavily. My natural hair look is wavy/ curly, but my hairstyle is poofy at the top, and straight at the bottom, (because i like it nice and neat). So anyway it started to rain, and what did my hair do... go curly! So i had my hair up for the rest of the day, not an attractive look, haha! To be honest, i dont care about being popular, im happy with where i am at now, i wouldnt change my friends for the world, even when i move im still keeping n contact, like i have told you before. Over confidence, i know what you mean,girls i my year are starting to get like that already, i feel like saying "get over yourself, your not that amazing!" God, they really get on my nerves when they are like that though, they act like everyone wants to know their business, like what they had to eat that day, and not many people care. Im the type of person who doesn't shout about their personal life, i only tell my close mates, who i can trust stuff like that. This is random, we have a lot in common, and its really easy to speak to you about stuff, like moving, and yr 9 girls, haha, ooohhh yes, and you sound like a really nice, down to earth person, thats a good thing by the way, in case you were like wondering :)!haha! Hope the weather is good for the festival, and have fun! Rain is actually so depressing, i was looking out the window in english today, and i was so depressed just looking at it, i wanted to cry strangely enough, because its been raining for ages, it feels like forever to be honest. UUUGGGHHH, dont you just love England? ;) haha.

[Loopieloo]

Haha! To be honest popularity doesn't mean anything! And Thankyou you do too! I wouldn't want to change anything about my friends either, but we will obviously keep in contact! My hair is exactly the same, I usually wear it down straight and when it rains, it goes into Afro form! Haha! My hair is naturally wavy too! I do like my hair wavy but it gets so annoying sometimes! My festival was really good! But because of the rain there was about 20cm of mud and it was horrible but the music was good and that's the reason why we went! Haha! I heard they do a lot of music festivals on the gold coast for free! I'm so excited! England's alright, if it was more sunny and beaches were nicer and more thing to do! I think Australia will have more! My teachers have started asking me about it! And yesterday one of my closest friends moved back to India forever! And to see everyone's reaction to that! I know what to expect :/ we are down to a year and a bit now! Haha! I'm still counting down! Haha! This summer im determined to go out and make the most of Britain and my mates! Me and my family have like made a list of things to do before we go! Ahh so excited!

I have go 8/9 months now, im counting down too. Its nearly Christmas aswell and it will be my last one here, then after christmas only a few more months. Im wondering how we will feel hen we are about to fly. I know i will cry, and feel home sick for a while, but im sure we will get used to it. My tutor and teachers ask about it too like how im feeling and if i want to go. Oh my gosh, your friend moved back forever, im sure you will keep in touch, that hasnt happend to me before. I have just come back from my holiday to cornwall today, we went in our motor home, with my nan and grandad in their motor home. It was fun. I asked my mom on the way back, is this the last time i will ever go on holiday to cornwall, and she said yes. That kinda kicked me in the stomach if you know the feeling. I still want to go though. I cant wait!

[Loopieloo]

aw! If I was in your position with only a few months left I would also feel mixed emotions! I'm also worried going to feel homesick and getting on the plane will be very very exciting but also emotional! I can't wait till you get out there and tell me what it's like! I'm so excited! We have a year and 200 days left! Eugh so long! Sometimes I don't know what to tell my teachers because it's quite personal but I guess they have to know! Ah! You must be so excited!

[Jockeylad]

I just tell my teachers the truth by saying stuff like, "i cant wait to go," or "I want to go but i will miss evryone." It's very much mixed emotions at the moment, and i guess they will get worse as time goes on, im sure i will still want to go. My dad has got his heart set on going back to australia, he loves it over there, due to him being born over there and also living there for a bit. But my mom, no so much, like i told you before she will miss all of our family, my mom is very family oriantated, as you can tell. I am too, but i really want to get out there and experience the lifestyle. Its a feeling i have woth australia, its a good one. You know when something just feels right in your gut instinct, and when you know you will love it and it will be a positive experience, thats the feeling i get when i think about it. I will miss England though, ever since i was little i have wanted to get married in a castle type of thing, and over there, they dont have any :(, oh well, beach wedding sounds good though, ahaa. I know i have ages till i get married but i just like thinking about having my dream wedding. My dad has got an australian passport, with him being australian, ahah, but me, my mom and my little sister millie, ahve got like a family visa to show that we are with my dad, and the visa paper work is being sent of sometime in september, so exciting. Around January time is when we will be ordering the container to store all of our furniture and stuff in, thats when it stats to get even more exciting. My last 8 months in school now, it sounds wierd saying that. Im sorry for the slow replies recently, I havent really been on laptop, only every now and then, so sorry for that! ;)

[Loopieloo]

That is so wierd! My step dad was born in Australia and always wanted to go back! We are also going on a the australian passport thingy! haah! Im very family orientated! Ecspecially with my cousins ns step sister and my dads mum! Haaha! the weedding thing made me laugh, but dont worry i do it too, it doesnt hurt to dream! Dont worry i haven't been on here in a while either! Your so lucky moving in 8 months! :) My grandma in australia has been sending us all these newspapers with houses in and we have been house hunting, some of the houses are amazing! I really would like to live really close to the beach though, i know i may no happer but the beaches over there seem amazing! :)
