Change... there are two groups of people: the adventurous group who hears the word and thinks "Yes!!!

The very sound of someone saying the word sends a chill up my spine and caused many tantrums when I was a child.

The loss of the familiar, the loss or change of friendships, the growing pains that come with it, the fear of the unknown.
