Stars and Stripes: "For teens overseas, change is constant...and quite an education"

I came across an interesting article this week from Stars and Stripes. In the article, military teens living overseas are interviewed about their experiences. Military family counselors are also interviewed about how military life impacts teens.

It gives great insight into how teens feel about the different aspects of growing up in a military culture - moving, diversity, and the structure and discipline that comes with the military are addressed. I'd encourage you to read it when you have a few minutes.

As you scroll down, on the right hand side, you'll see a section called "Students at overseas schools tell their stories." I'd encourage you to read through a few of these short stories, as they will give you an "insiders view" to what it's like to be a teenager growing up on a military base overseas.
