Hi and thanks for your help.   Recently, my dad has been looking into moving because we can afford a nicer house than the one we currently own.  It's not a definite yet; my mom still wants to stay.

My problem is the neighborhood my dad is looking at is really nice.   

Why would that be a problem?  Well, the area is kind of known around my relatively low-income school.   If you read my page, you'll know that my family is relatively well off.   This particular area is known around our school as being where the "rich kids" live.  I guess it comes from the fact that their is a HOA there and all the houses arelenore than 3,000 and styled like Mini-Mansions.

If we were to move, I worry that I would be kind of alienated by my friends and possibly bullied.  I'm also concerned it will make me a target of teasing and such.

Has anybody been in a situation similar to this?  How'd it turn out?  Any  advice?  Thanks.

Wow that is a great question

I was in a similar situation when I was younger living in England but that was primary school days

Talk to your Dad about it and if your friends are true friends they will stay being friends with you

Also people get bullied no matter what these days it seems so if you don't let shit phase you eventually people will stop bullying you, because they can't get any reaction out of you

From your Dads perspective he's probably thinking he can finally give his family what he wants to give them, so maybe let him just have his dream but you can still raise your concerns with him

If you do have to go, Try to make friends right away. Don't act too different and give them more reason to target you. Just try to blend in for a while until everyone gets to know you. I was in a similar situation before. You'll be fine. Try to have fun.

Oh, and If I wasn't clear, the houses my dad is looking at allow me to go to the same school.

Don't draw attention to yourself and you should be fine. Wear cheap clothes from Walmart and whatever else you can do along those lines, people will notice this and respect you for it.

Also your profile says your family are friends with the Palin family. You should see about asking Sarah Palin to make an account on here so I can troll her

Solution? Don't change, stay who you are. Don't change or act differently with your friends, or around people in general, and they will still treat you the same.

Yeah seriously man, just stay real, don't get cocky, and everything's gonna be gucci.

Haha no way. Come on, give them a little respect. They are nice people. All she wants is to make America a better place to live. Lots of politicians don
