Im young british but hoping to move to america when im older, any advice?

Im 14 and hoping to move to Houston, Texas when im about 20. Im dying for school to end a.s.a.p and just get out of Britain, as its just to gloomy and boring. Do any americans have any advice and info about this part of the US?Im young british but hoping to move to america when im older, any advice?
Seriously, this is the AUSTRALIA category, why do people keep posting questions about the UK and US here. Im young british but hoping to move to america when im older, any advice?
I used to have similar aspirations, but over time the desire went away. So don't stock all your eggs in one basket. The best thing to do in my opinion would be to get half decent grades in school, then go to university to do American Studies. Most of them have a year or 2 year transfer in a state of America (bare in mind Texas may not be one of them but one uni is bound to have it). This will let you experience the country and maybe set yourself up with a job so you can stay. If it isn't for you then you have a good qualification and good grades to stick with the Brits. Lots of Unis do American studies so to be hoenst provided you go onto A level you can get not to good grades and get ona course somewhere, but try your best. Oh and it is not just American Studies that does this, many courses do. I'm lookign at Sociology and some of them have a transfer year. Good luck mate, keep the dream.





To the poster above me you do not need to be ashamed of your country to move, some people like change.
You are Young see how you feel when you are twenty The USA is only more fun if you can afford the Glamourous life style, and most people can't although a lot of Americans think they are going to get rich after the election tomorrow. (I think there will be a lot of broken dreams unfortunately).






Good on you for wanting to get away and see the world with your life.





All i can say though is dont get too carried away - get your grades and have a career to look forward to! Also, what do you think will change (excitement wise) when you move to America? Its the same stufff... Just warmer!

well i live in america! a bit north of that but its pretty hot there! you'll love america i know i do! and im 13 and i know people will be obsessing over your accent. its not that different than america. but ull love it.
Texas is awesome! It is hot, sunny, and fun. Love it (I live there) I love horses, so its not to hard for me to love it because its a horse state:)
Come to Australia first, as you are in this section now ;)





You can always head to USA afterwards...









So why are you asking in the Australia section? Lots of American influence there, certainly, but not quite one of the States yet.
You no the grass is always greener on the other side. Why texas? If you think britain is boring then god help you there!
try asking in the american section
i'm sorry mate but you offended me a bit lol i'm proud to be british :/
