Girls your age are fickle with their loyalty. It's just a natural phase in development. This doesn't mean it hurts any less for you to feel betrayed by them, and it doesn't mean it hurts any less for them since they feel betrayed by you. Just realize that you WILL make new friends if these don't last. Remember that old song from Girl Scouts? "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold." If they're gold, they'll last, and they'll be precious friends in the future. Make sure they know you still want to be friends, but don't give into them and stifle your chances to learn more. Friends come and go, but education is the one thing no one can ever take away from you. Best wishes!

You should be very glad to get moved ahead, and not have so much trouble with boredom anymore. Yes, it is a privilege; one many kids never get, because their schools don't believe in anyone going ahead. As to your friends in the lower grade, don't worry. The real friends will understand, and will still want to hang out with you. But you will also make friends in your new class. With luck, you could end up with the best of friends from both classes. No law says all your friends need to be the same age as yourself. In small towns, kids hang out together that are quite a few years apart. They get used to being a little accommodating for the youngest, and defer to the eldest somewhat.

It's your choice to move up a grade or not. Talk to your parents, they will be able to help you decide. One thing you need to remember... don't worry about your friends. They should be happy for you, not mad at you. If it's your friends holding you back, then go for 5th grade! You'll make new friends and, plus, it's not like you won't see your 4th grade friends ever again.

You do not have to move up, if you mean skip a grade, tell your parents you don't want to. This happened to my son in 2nd grade, he did not like it and the next year, I had them put him where he belonged. No problem. If the paragraph you typed is an example of what your spelling is like, you should not be moving up anyway. Check your spelling. I see 8 spelling mistakes. And some punctuation mistakes.Sorry!

Simply because you are moving up the grades faster than your best friends do, it doesn't mean that you three will not see each other.
You can still keep in touch and be friends even if you are in a higher grade than your friends are.

Do what's best for you, which is moving up a grade. They're probably just jealous that you're smarter than them. That shows that they're not true friends. If they were, they would support you no matter what. Don't let them hold you back.

It's very childish of them to get mad at you for advancing to a hirer grade. I'm sure there will be plenty of people for you to make friends with in your new grade.

you can always still be their friends even if your not in their class. just dont change just because your in a higher grade. stay the same old you and stay their friend. tell them "the only thing that is changing is my teacher, not you guys."

Tell the teachers exactly how you feel. Don't hold anything back. Chances are, you probably CAN do something about it.

Just leave it alone. You're smarter than them and brains are more important than elementary school friends. Heck, I haven't talked to mine since 6th grade and don't regret it.
