Yeah, I wanna get out of there as soon as possible. To US, Canada, Australia, Germany, or even Poland. The heck is I'm only 15 and can't move myself; my parents appear to be OK in here.

Anyway I will not spend even a day here after I'm 18. I gonna work for some cool startup also.




I'm from Belarus myself, moved to United States when I was 13 with my family.

Be careful though, to immigrate to the United States on an H1 (work visa), you need a university degree. I'd suggest either trying to immigrate to Europe (any EU country) and getting a degree there, getting a degree in Belarus, or perhaps going to the United States as a foreign student.

[Edit: s/college/university/ -- college is an American term. My fifth grade English teacher in Belarus must be angry at me for forgetting Queen's English that I was taught :-)]


My grandfather left what's now Belarus with his mother and several siblings (their father and oldest brother had left earlier) in 1914 and came to the United States. Every time I hear anything about Belarus I'm thankful that they did this. Good luck getting out, and welcome to the US if that ends up being your destination!


Oh, youth!
