Transitions are defined as the movement from "one state of certainty to another with a period of uncertainty in between Uncertainty has mental risks. Adolescence is a period in which many psychiatric illnesses have begun and frequent suicidal deaths have been seen. Problems experienced with peer groups, adaptation disorders with depressive symptoms, school problems increase the risk of mental illness, suicidal thoughts in adolescents. There are studies on transition from childhood to adolescence, migrating to one country to another, transition to the secondary school or high school. However, studies related to city change and socio-educational environment change are limited. We have reported two cases. The firs case is a 17 years old girl who is counseled after suicide and diagnosed with depression. The case had to change the city two years ago because of the parents' job, and therefore to change the socio-educational environment. While she was a popular student with a high academic performance, she had difficulties in adapting to her new school, she had problems in her peer communication, her the academic performance has fallen, and she has become more introverted. The second case is a 16 years old male adolescent with radiation burn.He was hospitalized because of a radiation burn that occurred as a result of an accident at work. Due to problems in peer relations, the fall of school success and the financial difficulties of the family, he left his school at the age of 14 and started to work. After the earthquake they experienced in 2010, they had to leave the city they lived in. The city they migrate to is a city that is quite different from the socioeconomic aspect of the previous city. They have difficulty in adapting to the family.
