I've known him for seven years now,(since 5th grade), and we've gone through hell and back. I've helped through with some of the biggest problems that he's had in his life and I've been their for him when he needed someone to talk to late at night when everyone else is unavailable. Lately him and I have started hanging out with other people. He has anyway. Me on the other hand have just been basically all by myself. Most of my friends these days have changed to a point to which I can't stand to be around some of them. I just want to spend some quality time with my best friend, but every time we go some where it's always to the chinese place in town. His parents won't let us go anywhere outside of our small town to do anything! What do you think would be the best way to bring us closer together?

The friends that he hangs out with now are too imature for me to hang out with! The one that he's been spending the most time with is the one I dislike the most! Me and my best friend went out to the chinese place again this past Saturday and my best friend dragged along the imature friend of his. While we were eating our desert the dude starts throwing rutz candies at me and my best friend. I told him to stop but he still did it. The employees saw and were getting angry at us but he kept doing it! When I say stop I MEAN STOP NOW!!!

People change. Unfortunately, sometimes people grow apart.
You cant keep him from growing up and finding out who he is.
The best thing you can do is to continue to accept your friend
for who he is and who is becoming.
You may still be the "same old you", but a time is going to come when you start to change, grow up, and find you like different things than you did in the past.
There is a poem.......the gist is friendship reasons & seasons.
People come into your lives for a reason....maybe they need
you to help them through a hard time or vise versa.
People come into your lives for a season......months or years
of just enjoying each other and then for no reason you grow apart
Then there is the lifetime friendship...... there are reasons and there are seasons when you may part, but you always come
back to each other because you are TRUE LIFELONG friends.
I know this doesn't help what you are feeling, but unfortunately,
there really isnt anything that you can do with the exception of talking to your friend and see what he has to say about the situation.
Good Luck

I was in the same place as just a few years ago. My best friend and I have known each other since she was four and I was five and when we were about 16 we started going our seperate ways. I was worried but I always knew that she would be there for me. We're now in colleges 1 hour away from each. She's getting married this spring, I went to China for three months and there have been a lot of long periods of time where we couldn't stay in touch but when we did get back together, it would feel like no time has pasted at all. We're BF and will always be. you just need to remember that you don't have to be someones closest, most watched or nearest friend to be someone's best friend.

I'd talk to him about it. Just tell him that you think the two of you are growing apart & you wanna hang out more. Explain to him that you really want the friendship to work.

Have you talked to him about how you feel?
A lot of the time. This stuff just happens.
As you grow, you change and it isn't your fault.
