My Only Friend Is Moving! I've known my friend for six years. She's just always been there for me. She's one of the few people who actually get me. Recently, she found out she's going to be moving six hours away. Her dad already left and she's been really upset about it. She's very stressed and has been taking care of her three younger siblings and two dogs. She'll be moving as soon as they sell her house. I don't know what to do. Should I comfort her? Cry along with her? I'm upset about it too, and I don't know what I'll do without her! She's one of the only friends I've got! What do I do? – Karmyndie, 14, USA Hi Karmy! Your feelings are very normal. I mean come on, you guys are really close. Yeah, it's okay to cry along with her, but make sure you try to be the strong person with her. Love her, comfort her and let her know there are other ways you can communicate. You can always e-mail each other, or text and call each other. If you don't have technology, do it the old fashioned way and write letters. Writing letters is always fun, you can send pictures of each other and write letters about all of the things you miss doing. She needs you to be strong for her and help her out. And plan trips to see each other for occasions like spring break, or summer break. I'm sure you'll be fine if you just take it one day at a time. Good luck. – Kadedra, 16, Arkansas Awwww… that is so sweet but still sad. Look I understand. It seems that you are going on the right track you just need some more help with what to choose. Okay first spend more time with her before she moves. Comfort her and tell her it will be okay. She will still remain close to your heart and you will always be BFFL. I know how it feels to lose someone you love and care about. But it is not the end of the world. Just be thereyou’re your friend. Let her know the living arrangement could have been worse. She's only six hours away - she could have been a thousand miles away and days. Keep her close to your heart and spend more time with her. I hope you guys get through this, I really do. I’ll keep you in my prayers. - Ambri, 13, USA You will be all right, trust me. Two years ago my best friend Lydia moved to England. I thought it was the end of the world. So stay in touch – email, call her, and have her over sometimes for a few days. If your friendship is as strong as you say you will get through it. But don't be a loner in school. You will make new friends in time. Maybe getting involved with a few clubs would help to make new friends. Best of luck! – Emma, 11, Ireland
