It's not that bad. I'm somewhat the closest in age to teenagers on this forum (yuck!lol). Ur kids will be ok JBH. There will be adjustments, but once u get to know people, and they start having new friends, u'll be fine. There are alot of sport and school activities that'll keep them busy. It's only as great as the UK but not so bad to the extent that u'll have to send ur daughter back.
