Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a (total) different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid.
The term “third—culture kid” (use) in the 1960s for the first time by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon while (research) North American children living in India. In general, third-culture kids benefit from (they) intercultural experience and they often reach excellent academic results.
Yet many (difficulty) may arise from this phenomenon. Third-culture kids may not be able to adapt themselves completely their new surroundings. Also, they often find it hard (develop) new friendship. Additionally, for a third-culture kid, it is often easier to move to a new country to return to his homeland. For example, after living in Australia for many years, Louis finally returned to the country she was born. She didn't know anything about current TV shows fashion trends. And she didn't share the same values as other teens of her age.
