My daughter was the same way. She had changed so many schools before moving here and starting 6th grade. She hated it so much because she missed all of her friends at her pervious school. We just asked her to give it a chance, she would see how many friends she would make and how much fun it would be to make different friends. When school starts back in August she will be in the 10th grade. My Butterfly is growing up to be a very beautiful young lady.
I know it is hard to move away from your friends but you will make new friends and be so happy. Hope all goes well with you & the changes you will experience.

Your mom is right you will find more friends in your new school. Yes I'm sure you will miss your old friends but i think you also enjoy meeting new ones. Just remember that you can never have enough friends. You need to ask to see your old friends if you can. Just try to make the best of things. I hope you have a great school year.

There is a saying popular where I come from: 20 kids can't play for 20 yrs. Imagine what would have happened if your had not met this new ones. You maturity would have been retarded and experience in life shallow. You'll meet other people and gain a lot. In a few years when you run into old friends you'll appreciate what I am saying. Your parents know better.
Chere up. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Don't worry about the future changes. Life is about changes right up until you are old and die.I told this to my kids when they were younger. You will change schools, friends, jobs,careers, maybe even countries and as you do, you will meet new people and learn new things,try new foods, and learn about the different cultures and beliefs of these new people you will encounter. Just remember to be yourself and always be careful to protect yourself because the world can be equally exciting and dangerous but if you follow the moral values your parents taught you all your life you'll be alright in this life.

Hey, I understand it could be tough... but think about this: couldn't you just keep your other friends and some new ones? Or even one new friend is enough! That way you'll still be with the others to support you and just be with you like before and have the new ones to support you through the new school. You might not have new ones in a click, obvioudly, but it's bound to happen sometime. Just hang in there, be brave and don't be afraid to take the initiative to meet others! Otherwise, just let others approach- maybe then you'll see that THEY desire to be friends with you. Okay? Good luck! :)
