Have you ever moved?
Yes. We moved to Ohio when I was in the second grade. But before that we moved a lot. I was born in Illinois, then moved to Missouri, then to Oregan, then back to Missouri.

 

[Cinderella8]

Technically, yes. But just one house to another, same town and such, and I was a baby

 

[MickeyisBeast]

When I was in 2nd grade we moved out of our house and into an apartment, in the same city. And then the summer before 3rd grade our new house was finally done being built and we moved in and that's where I live now.
And then in August I'll be moving to the mountains.

I seriously love NC too much to ever move out of it.

Once upon a time, I lived in a suburb outside of Toronto.

At the age of 2 my family and I immigrated to the United States. We live in an apartment in Dallas.

At the age of 3 we moved to our current home.

I've moved once, right before eighth grade. Not to be optimistic or anything, but it was dreadful...

 

[Doodle98]

I moved when I was in sixth grade. We built our house and I absolutely love it here.

 

[LondonUnderground]

We moved from london when I was 2 to da burbs which is where we live now

 

[GoofyFunyun]

Same house since I was born. Still living in good old Iowa.

 

[maps823]

We moved when I was like 5(maybe 4) from my mom's hometown to Houston and lived in an apartment while our house was being built

 

[suzanne18]

We moved around to different houses that were in the same city before I was old enough to start school so it didn't really effect me much!

Cindy question!
What is the scariest experience you have ever had?
My scariest experience occurred when I was around 7 or 8, but I still remember it vividly. So we were at this campground and my brother, my dad, and I were at this activity thing with a nature guide, he was teaching us how to make a fire and he asked for a volunteer from the group to go and get some water from this creek. So, I raise my hand and he picks me, I take the bucket and walk down to the river and this little kid looks at me and says "Be careful, there's a lot of mud down there." But, thinking the nature guide knew more than this kid I shrugged it off and walked down. I took one step onto the bank of this river onto the mud and sunk, instantly, down to my waist. I was terrified, I couldn't move at all and I honestly thought I was going to die. So I screamed for my dad and my brother as loud as I possibly could and my dad hurried down and after kind of laughing at me he pulled me out and all was well. My dad still to this day will tell people he has never heard me scream like that.

I guess the scariest moment I ever had was when my friends and I went to an amusement park (they have all these insane haunted houses and people walk around with like chain saws and knives during October), last year or the year before, and we were walking and the whole time I was just like "eh I know they can't touch me I'm not afraid" and I had this bet with my friends that I wouldn't run away if any of the scary people came after me. So we're walking and then this dude comes out OUT OF NOWHERE and he's like some lizard guy and all of a sudden he's just all up in my face and him just randomly showing up in my face omg I screamed. Plus they had some really scary haunted houses like I couldn't even look I was so afraid. But it was fun at the same time.

I think I've already told this story, but my scariest moment would be when I wrecked the four wheeler in the really steep ditch. The front hit a fence post and I went forward with the sudden jolt. I hadn't noticed till mom pointed it out, but it left a scratch all the way down the front of my neck and all of my chin. I wasn't worried about myself though, my sister was sitting right behind me. All I was worried about was if she was okay.

Anyway, she didn't get hurt, just shaken up. I on the other hand had to drive home on that fourwheeler and mom cleaned my wound especially since it was covered in the black stuff on the fence post. The four wheeler was fine.

v this is actually a couple weeks later v

In fifth grade I choked on a round Jolly Rancher. I got a question right and got one, went to throw the wrapper away, and on the way back to my desk, I sorta tripped. It slid down my throat, it felt so scary. For a second I was like paralyzed- I had no idea what to do. Then I madd eye contact with Dani, across the room, and she popped up and yelled, "CHRISTINA'S CHOKING!" So Mrs. A, my teacher, came and I can't remember what it's called that she did, she cupped her hands and pushed on my stomach. Finally it got loose, and I sorta fell on my knees, I was crying so hard but was also so embarrassed that that had just happened. Mrs. A helped me get to the bathroom where I finished crying and talked to the principle. I ended up staying at school to finish off the day (it wasn't that long) but I will honestly say I was silent and ate only applesauce for dinner that night. Since then I hold stuff like Jolly Ranchers and suck on them, never putting the whole thing in my mouth...

This will be long and probably won't sound very scary, but for me this was absolutely terrifying. In like sixth grade my friends and I went on a Girl Scout camping trip. We were in a tent, because we were too old to stay in the cabins. I always have bad luck camping, and it always rains. And since I have anxiety OCD I always get nervous and think that I'm going to die and stuff, because my parents don't go camping with me, so I'm always with a different family. So yeah, on a normal camping trip I would normally cry myself to sleep when it rained. So that day was awesome and we did all these activities and it didn't rain. But that night, a frikkin CHAIN OF THUNDERSTORMS hit us. It was a bunch of really bad storms. We had to stay up and make sure to get the water off of the top of our tent so it didn't cave in. There was a whole bunch of really bright lightning too and the thunder was so loud. So I was freaking out. I started hyperventilating. And the tent was moving because it was so windy. I happened to fall asleep for like an hour, and of corse that was the hour that a lady asked if we would like to stay in the mess hall because the storm was so severe. And of corse our troop leader said no. A tent ended up blowing away. So me and my friends were huddled up in the center of this soaking wet tent, trying to survive, screaming at every lightning strike. All forms of electronic devices that could distract us were out of batteries. I ended up texting my mom at around two in the morning, begging for help, but she was obviously asleep. So eventually the rain went down to a drizzle and we all fell asleep. (This is off topic but the next day I got hit in the head with a gigantic (literally like 12 foot) ball. I had a headache for the rest of the day)

I slept at a church camp out with only girls while we found out bears were in the area and attacked a site (luckily the people they were off doing something). Our leaders had to call fathers to pretty much guard us and scare them off. We all survived, though, thank goodness.

That would be the heimlich maneuver. My biology teacher's son last year actually stuffed a wrapper up his nose last year. She had to leave school and take him to the ER. Emberrassing-wise, surviving choking is nothing compared to that!

I had a similar experience...
My mom, my cousin and I went to go look at some model homes. We were at the little house that they gave you all the information on the houses in the neighborhood and they had peppermints. I really wanted one and I kept asking my mom for one while she was talking to the realistate lady. She scolded me for interrupting her then told my cousin and I to go outside. My cousin and I stood outside on this little bridge and my mom came out so we could go see the house. All of a sudden I started choking. My mom tried to do the Heimlich maneuver but it wasn't working, so she had to stick her hand in my mouth and get it out. I still don't eat peppermints because of that.

My other scary experience was about two years ago. I was at a water park with my girl scout trip. My mom(also our co-leader)and two of my friends were on the lazy river and I decided to go without a tube this time because my friends had told me it was fun. So there was this thing that pushed the water out. There were ALOT of people in the lazy river. so some how I got pushed in front of the thing that pushes the water out and since there were not only a lot of people but a lot of empty tubes when the water got pushed out, since I wasn't in a tube, I went under water and couldn't get up to the surface. I honestly thought I was going to drown. I managed to reach the surface and held on to someone's tube until I found my mom and friends.
