Answer 1

It takes courage to do what you have done, and I congratulate you for keeping it together and for believing in yourself. I know you are a good person and very smart and sensitive, and you will balance up your new friends with the friends you have left behind, because the ones who really matter will make the effort to keep in touch with you. It takes a lot of work to coordinate the two groups of friends. Try to remember this and it will help you to do it: you do not have to do it all in one day. You can keep a sort of journal or directory so you have names and addresses and phone numbers right at your fingertips. You can draw strength with those of your friends from before who gave you their e-mail addresses. Here is another thing to remember to do: tell them, when you are e-mailing them, what you have shared with us this evening on Yahoo! Answers, so they can reach back to you, like good friends are supposed to do, and really help you get through this start-up phase of your new life. Relax and enjoy how far you have come. Not only in miles, but in knowing what is really important in this Life; that is, friends and what friendship is all about and how important other people are to all of us, because it is all one family. It takes a lifetime to see this, but I think you know what I mean. Thank you for this opportunity to share my thoughts with you and the very best of luck to you, always, in getting and keeping your life together and in being happy.

Once you really adjust to your new life and friends, you'll realize that you've moved on, too. As the saying goes "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, the other gold." My best friend since 3rd grade (I'm 32 years old :) is still a true friend, though we only talk or see each other a few times a year. We live 1,000 miles apart. I have good friends from each stage and place of my life, and very blessed to know many good people. You will also feel this joy. Don't worry, they won't forget you! Things will be fine :)

I dont know if this will help, or if I'm just writing to be busy. I just moved back to where I grew up.I;ve been gone for over twenty years,I've met a few old friends but it's a lot differant.when I left here I was 18,now I'm 41 with afamily,This is a small town,and I'm still trying to adjust.I've lived in a few big cities,Las Vegas,New York,L.A. and I always missed my little town.Now that I'm back I miss the bigger towns andcities.Maybe I should have tried to keep in touch a lot more,but there just was never enough time. so,try to always make time to send a note or a card ,or a quick phone call,just to say HEY.and you wont ever be that far away from your friends

Answer 4

I know moving to a new place can be a lot to deal with . . and leaving behind all of your friends is tough . . but I would suggest, instead of trying to keep in touch with EVERYBODY, just think about the ones who mean the MOST to you, and keep in touch with those . . . and then you can devote more of your time to meeting people and making new friends . . that way you'll have people to spend your time with and you won't be lonely or feel so bad about having to leave your old friends behind . . .

good luck at the new school and I hope things work out for you!!

Answer 6

its often hard to leave friends behind, but real friends will never forget you, even if u dont see each other often or get to talk often. do your best to make new friends. trust me things will get better. they will probably never be the same as before, but nothing ever is. just take life one day at a time and everything is gonna be all right. hope this helped...
