what do you do if you're 13, have moved an hour away from your best friend, never get to see her anymore except MAYBE once a month compared to seeing each other every day, your new school sucks, every one is mean, and you've been at the school for 6 months and have 5 friends and your dad is about to go to Iraq?

i wish i could wave a magic wand 4 u, put ur life back 2 when u were happier.
but i can't, sorry.
schools suck, all of 'em do
& i never went 2 one i liked, either.
u just try 2 go with the flow & give it time.
5 friends after 6 months is better than NO friends, isn't it?
u'll make more friends,
no worries.
ur dad's off 2 Iraq?
now that really does suck,
my dad was in the military & i hated the bit ur about 2 go thru.
but u'll adapt & u'll cope,
i did, u will 2.
ur dad's going 2 b doing such an important job & needs u 2 b a ray of light 4 him.
put a brave face on, eh?
let him leave seeing smiling faces, b4 he goes.
first chance u get, Easter's coming up soon, ask ur mum if ur friend can come stay with u 4 a day or 2?
or arrange 2 meet up, an hour or 2 with ur old mate's guaranteed 2 put a smile on ur face.
u could write 2 her in the meantime & stay in touch that way.
:)

I would say you are very lucky to have a good friend and to have 5 at you new school. Some kids move to other states and don't ever get to see there friends they had before. You can always write your friend to I no it is not the same as seeing her, but you would be surprise how it helps. About your Dad give him a lot of support and all your love, and spend as much time with him as you can before he leaves. He needs that. Tell him you Will help your mom in any way you can, because it will also be hard on her to. I will also say a pray for your Dad.

Well you and your best friend may not get to be togther all the time, but you can share your whole lifes, seeing each other on weekends and you can talk on the phone and e-mail, look more positive at your new school...mabey it doesnt suck, try to be more happy and optimistic about your new life and ignore the people who are not being nice, you will meet new friends and get used to it, your dad is doing a very great thing by going to Iraq, hes defending our country...as much as that hurts you, hes helping so many people, be proud of him, he will be back before you know it. Try looking at everything in a different way!
good luck!

my heart goes out to you child and I know where you are coming from I use to be in your shoes all you can do is go to that old crappy school and be happy with the little friends you do have and just make the best of it and before you know it your father will be back from Iraq and you will be on your way some where else hopefully better living and schools for your sake. And just think this way it won't be as long as it has been because don't have that much longer in school.

oh u poor thing why dont u ask ur mom if u can go see ur friend each weekend since its only an hour away. And when u get ur spring break off ask ur mom if u can go stay the week with ur friend. During the summer go stay a few weeks with ur friend and let her come to ur house to stay a few weeks. I hope u make more friends soon if u want to email me for anything just to talk just email me. Good luck

First ask your mother if she can drive you up to see your best friend. You should be glad that you made new friends in the school that you go to now. Tell your father that will love him very much and that you will miss him while he is in Iraq.

well try to make the best of my life...remember life is all about learning to deal with in a POSITIVE WAY...I had moved a lot in my life and when you are young as you are take as an adventure to make new friends ofcourse always keep in touch with your old friends...But make new learn new things that every single place that maybe is just about couple or an hour away is totally idferent life is about learning and have fun with it...Now I am older I really don't have the energy in moving often and the money to do it...But when my father used to do it it was fun...And yes we my brothers and I saw a diferent view of the diferent places...Good luck!!!

go with it. things seem tough now but they WILL sort themselves out in time. get out there at school, start trying to make new friends etc etc and start insisting to your parents that you see you best friend more. if your depressed (which it sounds like) tell you mother. she will want to do what's best for you. sorry that's all i can do for you - i know it's not much

Keep in touch with your friend by telephone, pray your dad returns safely, see if you can change schools, ask your parents, ignore the meanies, they will stop if you ignore them, if you can't change schools, see if you can change tutor groups, you might be happier.

your social situation may suck right now but 6 months isn't a long time to make friends. be more patient. and grateful that your father is a Patriot who will defend our country and other people's rights as well.
