I am having probelms with being where I am and where I want to be. My mom took my brother and me to move to Chicago. However, I told her I wanted to stay in Ohio. She said she understood, but she doesn't want to. I think it is because of her mother. She said I can always make new friends, but I don't want to. Any good advice?

well if your old enough to live by yourself in Ohio i dont see a problem.
but if your not, you got to listen to your mom and do as she says,
and if she says she understands then she understands.
so her decision is not so she can get you away from your friends
i say, try to see the bright side of it.

Your mom needs to be where her job is, or where she needs to be for her life. As her minor child you have to follow her and live where she has to and adjust your life to that situation. It is hard to move to a place you are not familiar with and it is lonely without your friends. But you have to have an attitude tof adventure and look at the possibilities of making a new start. Your old friends know you and they know your weaknesses as well as your strengths. You might take this opportunity to put a new face forward and overcome some of the hangups you might have had before and try some new things and making some new friends. You don't need to forget about your old friends You can keep in touch every day through email and letters and send each other pictures and talk on the phone once in a while. You might go back and spend a vacation with your friends in the summer time. As time goes by you will make a new life and new friends and a new life, and you will put your old friends in a different place in your heart. When you are an adult, at 18 you can make your own choices and live wherever you want, if you are prepared to support yourself and be independent.

sometimes we have to move, whether it's because our parents want a new career or a change of pace. i do realize it's a scarey thing for you right now.
there are many people in chicago, and i'm sure that you will make new friends. i also realize you will miss your old friends, in ohio....
chicago is also a wonderful city -- filled with things to do...
meanwhile, i have posted a couple of articles about teens and making new friends... i hope there is some helpful information for you in this websites.
things will work out.. just give it a chance? i hope you can keep in touch with old friends through email and messenger.
hugs
