How do you manage to get through the day, knowing that you will never have the time spent during that day back? Knowing that as you get older you become more and more alone. How does one deal with this? You leave High School to pursue your dreams, but in turn, you leave everyone that had ever helped you? What do you do?

Interesting... Well I am glad that at least some people think on the positive side of things.

Home sick? It's time to build your own life, like your parents did. Go out and do something fun or daring. If you have to work, plan something fun for after...
Life is like a buffet... you get to pick what you want and leave the stuff that you don't like.

As you go forward in life, you collect memories and experience. You gain new friends and keep some of the old ones. Leaving high school is probably one of the biggest changes you have faced so far (at least as it applies to starting in a new place with new people) but it's not more than you can handle. Remember that the other people you meet are going through the same thing. You will find nice people (and A holes). Some of them will become lifelong friends.
If you believe you can do it, you will be able to do it.
Good luck.

I have an entire network of true friends at the Kingdom Hall who are much more supportive and much more encouraging than anyone I met in high school. They help me in every way and I don't even miss the people from high school. I don't ever have to be alone unless I choose to be. Plus, knowing the truth of what the Bible teaches, I have the hope that everyone I love and care about who has died will be resurrected again and I will get to be with them again. Hope this helps you.

The difficulty you face is purely in your head. A certainty in life is that everything changes. Everyone you know will leave you or you have to leave them. No possession will last or stay with you. There is no permanence in this world.
Once you totally accept this...you can embrace change. You can fully enjoy what is here at the moment in the present. Then there is always the possibility of good things to come...so I begin each day curious to see what the day brings. Who knows what the future will bring...and I let the past go. Let what comes come and let what goes go.
Why live in the past or future...live fully in the present. That is where joy, bliss, and peace reside. Live this day fully - with no regrets. Carpe diem.

Your glass isn't half empty, its half full of someone elses urine. Life gets better each and every day. Every experience is great. I gain more friends, love more people every chance I get. My joy in life has only increased as time goes by. If you are going to sit around "weeping for the memories" of high school, you probably will be very unhappy. Get up. Move. Work. Learn. Experience the joy of being alive. Live in the present and for the future.

I have 2 kids, a wife, and a job. Do you think I am ever alone? For more than 15 minutes? I am a slave to my family, but it is something I would never give up for the world.

You look to the Lord, and pray for His wisdom and for His guidance...and trust and have faith that He will take care of you- and that He will bring many friends into your life, and keep you from wandering from His truth.
All I can say is without Jesus Christ, you cannot manage, and without Him you cannot know peace-and without Him you have no rock to stand on.
Proverbs 3:5-6 says "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight"

You find ways to keep in touch with the people you've known and you make new friends. You don't let the ones you care about slip out of your life. You keep contacting them no matter what it takes to keep the lines of communication open.
Going to church helps me keep in contact with loved ones too.

You grow and move forward with your life...it's called advancing.
Who says you have to leave every body behind, anyway?

By making each moment as meaningful as I can... we Buddhists call it mindfulness (in one meaning of the word).
