I have a friend. and we've been friends now since we were in like the 4th grade. We got very close (as friends, nothing else) over the years. we would call and talk to each other and hang out and such often. When we got into middle school, we went to different schools. but after spending an entire summer together, it didn't effect our friendship. By 7th grade, his mom changed him into the same school as me and we went to the same school for about a year and a half. Because in the middle of 8th grade i changed schools. That really messed me up because i had made a nice little group of friends. and after changing schools, i lost contact with most of them. But not this one guy. We're at absolutely different schools now, and when he was in like the 9th grade he would call me pretty much every day. Then at the begining of his 10th grade year that changed to about 3x's a week. that was ok with me, because i knew we both had a lot of work to do. Now though, he has just stopped calling!

I am not worried about him finding a girl. We are like bro and sis. He already had a girlfriend the last time i talked to him. Besides, i don't like him like that.

Then call him, look friends are far and few between, I mean good friends, so here's the question... who would ever know all the things about you since the fourth grade who knows your history and knows his for that matter, no one, girl whatcha waiting on? friendship isn't always easy if your his friend then stay in touch and even if its not but once a week but make the effort trust me you two have been to much in life to give that up' you and he was blessed with this friendship don't throw it away, its just like everything in life you have to work at it, good luck hey try having a best Friend night out once a mo.

I hate to say it, but it could be because you're going to different schools.
I had friends like that were in middle school we were practically unseperateable. Everyday we could we were at each other's houses, and when I had to move to another state it was really hard. After a while I got new friends, and got wrapped up in my life here, so we barely every talk. It's not that I don't care about them anymore, because they're still like sisters to me, it's just they're not immediate like my friends here.
It could be the same situation for you. In 10th grade he's got school work, clubs, friends, a girlfriend...everything builds up! Think of how hard it can be just to finish all your homework sometimes!
So it's not that he doesn't like you, or doesn't care anymore, it's just he's busy. Try calling him, and don't be disappointed if your calls are short. It may just be that distance has divided you- a rather painful part of life. Outside of phone calls, you guys really don't share life together anymore, so trying to connect on that level you did when you were younger might not be possible.
Keep trying though, because maybe persistance will pay off. Either way, good luck!

I don't presume to know your friend, and I could be completely mistaken about this. However, experience has taught me that when people go through transitions in life, friends -- even very close friends -- sometimes get left behind. Given that early adolescence is one of life's most major transitions, if I had to guess, my guess would be that this is what has occurred. If that is indeed the case, I'm sorry. I'm certain that you didn't deserve it. It just means that the person he has become does not feel as attached to you as the person he was before.
For your sake, I hope I'm wrong.

It doesn't mean he isn't thinking of you or that your friendship is ending .
It just an unfortunate fact of life that as we grow older we move often grow apart from old friends . Growing up means exploring who we are, what we might become, it means new relationships, and sometimes it's easier if we take a "vacation" from friends that know us well. Old friends often see us as the person we were ...not necessarily the person we are or who we might become in the future. Sometimes we just need a little space to grow.
I'm sure you're doing the same ....

I think maybe he has found a girlfriend... But if he is a close friend why come you don't call him and just see what's going on.. It wouldn't hurt anything. Just be like I missed talking to ya what's up how you been doing... Or something like that..

High school is very difficult, Homework and such, but he could have maybe forgot. You can start calling him, I'm sure he will be happy to hear from you!

You know,,, friendship is give and take, right? I think it's your turn now to start calling him everyday... or 3x a day or whatever. Before, he was the one who made an effort to contact you, and maybe now it's your turn.
