Well I'm going into high school and my closest friend met a new girl through volleyball a few weeks ago, one that doesn't know anyone in our high school, and now she seems too busy with volleyball to hang out and is getting closer to the new girl. We don't have any classes and I feel like we're going to drift! I feel like she'll forget about me and go to her new friend and I really don't want that to happen. I feel so alone going into high school and I feel like I'm going to lose all my friends. :'( I'm so upset please help me.

It's a scary time high school, as there are so many things happening.

You would be wise to realise that people do change and meet new people. It's OK if she gets a new friend, and it's OK for you to too. In fact it maybe the best thing for you, go join a club get out there and meet others. (Word of advice, stay away from the drugs and alcohol as they are self stupidifying acts and people especially Teens tend to over do them to the point they may as well be clinically retarded.)

Do not try to tell her she is a bad friend for living her life, nor that she doesn't care about you. That just implies that "YOU" have to do a little self investigation into why you feel these things, after all it is said that our thoughts lead us into the worlds we created with them.

Just remmber, your insecurities are causing you to feel what ever you feel, and this is not for her to fix. DO express your feelings of "drifting" but be sure not to blame her for anything, nor tell her she should not do these things.


Good luck, I'm off to watch the kid. Take care.

Thanks for the advice but the funny thing is, she just told me she missed me and we made plans for tomorrow! Worrying about nothing lol I just don't want to lose her as my friend.
