Okay,

I am 15 turing 16. My mom recently got divorced and we had to move from Nebraska to missouri. I have lived in Missouri now for a couple months and I absolutely hate. I told my mom I want to live in Nebraska. I could live with my best friend and her mom. She said I couldn't. But it's not healthy for me to live in Missouri. I don't know how much of this I can take. What should I do? Is there anything I can do? Please. I need Help!

Although your perceived problem has a universality about it, you'll find this is primarily a United Kingdom site, so you're not likely to get a lot of answers, especially relating to the differences between the Corn Husker State and the Show-me State. (I live in the U.S. as well).
Let me just say, that at your age (believe it or not, we've all been in your shoes, one way or another) you generally are seeking long-term solutions to short -term problems. In the scheme of things, living in Missouri isn't that big of a deal since you need to be focusing on education so youcan have a future. As painful as you think it is right now, try living on your own and trying to make your way into a better situation. If you'll give the problem a little bit of time, a little bit of adult thinking and a whole lot of future outlook, you can see that life is just a series of compromises and if you'll make the right choices now the future will be a whole lot brighter.
I can only imagine how painful and disruptive divorce can be, but this, again, is a short term problem. Find some backbone and pay the unfair price with which you've been saddled, and I guarantee you'll look back and see it was the right one... The only caveat would be if you are in an abusive situation... that demands a different answer. Best of luck!
Sweetheart, I live in London England now - but spent a spell in Kansas City Missouri, my Husband was working for TWA at the time. Unless you are in mortal peril I suggest you should stay with your Mom. What is the problem with where you are, apart from you miss friends, school, your other family perhaps. Whether you move a couple of hours or a Continent away, things have changed and if you don't embrace the change and try - you will continue to be the master of your own misery. My son goes to U.S. high school here and his friends often move back to the towns they left a couple of years ago, they don't like the changes coming here or going back sometimes.
That's life ... if you have a different sort of issue please re-submit and we will see if there are other solutions to suggest.
Did you know that every year one in five U.S. families moves? So you are not alone. What was it you loved so much about Nebraska sweetheart?
