Yes! I moved here two years ago (England) on the 3rd of August after spending my ENTIRE LIFE in Pakistan - I am 17 (or atleast i will be in a month) now - I missed my friends sooo much, but be sure to keep in touch with your besties over the email and msn - and call as often as you can - and visits in the summer or whenever you are able are SO WORTH THE WAIT - I was not able to go this year, it was sad, but I'm looking even more forward to it next year! - August 21st is my birthday btw, I usually like to spend it with my friends - but believe me as soon as you start school and become involved with your work (supposing you are still in school) Then you will make new friends and fit in quite happily (I know new friends are no replacement for your good friends - but everyone needs friends and it may be scary thinking you will not fit in ) - I stood outside the canteen alone for 4 days LOL! - at all lunch times it looked so weird and embaressing like i was a loner - but eventually you will find some great friends to hang out with! and I just had my graduation last month, was a teary happy day :) watching everyone go - but am keeping in touch with them too! - best of luck moving - and 'believe me' its not even half as bad as you might think it is or imagine it to be - Its all big and alien to you now - but you'll be amazed how quickly things will fall into place - I know how hard it must be for you and I wish you all the best and hope you find friends and your own little circle a.s.a.p. - I know I've said this a million times lol but I'm just trying to reassure you 'there is nothing to be nervous' about - but a little piece of advice I Can give you - First impressions are everything - on your first day of school or work - greet everyone with a smile, be confident (because naturally people will see you're new and come to make friends with you anyway - just be yourself - you'll start making friends on the first day, might even find yourself a 'crush' or better :P).

i moved about 3 years ago and it was really hard for me to get used to things. what i can say is to be yourself and not acting a certain way to get friends. because then, you'll be stuck like that. if you don't make any friends within the first week, dont worry thats not bad. but dont be shy, go up to people and introduce yourself when you can.

Give it some time. You will find new friends. Get email addresses and mail addresses for your old friends and you can keep in contact.
It is kind of stressfull moving to a new place. You'll make it. Just find something to look forward to!

everyone's afraid of moving to the new place because they dont know anyone, but once you move there and get used to everything and make new friends you'll eventually feel like you're at home. but when you first move there keep in contact with your friends and family they'll support you.

why are you moving if you don't want to.if it is just a temporary move cause of a parents job,then ask to stay behind with a relative.if it is indefinate of a move then don't worry england is a very nice place,full of history,try to enjoy it.the only bad part about the english is they have ugly guys with bad teeth.good luck with your life.

Try looking at it as another chapter in the book of your life. Make the most of it...! You can always email/IM your friends over here at little cost to you...! Make new friends and come back and visit sometime... We'd love to hear everything you've got to say...! Miss you already...!

look forward to the new experiences you will have & see it as an opportunity; not everyone will get to see a place like that! you will make new friends, and you can stay in touch w/ the friends you have now- not only that, when your friends come to see you, you can show them an amazing place they've never been before!- best of luck!

If you don't have one, get a webcam and keep in touch with them regularly. Try using programs like MSN messenger, Spype, etc. to talk to them, so then your phone bill won't be through the roof.

i've never had that happened but i had a good friend who had to move to Hawaii so just always stay connected to them (AIM, email, phone, etc.) because it will make you feel better and if you ever come back to visit them then you know that when your going back, you'll have friends there

you could email them everyday or mail them a letter you will still be in contact with them but in a different country. i hope you have a great time in england and i hope you keep in touch and email me if you have any question.
