I am a 20 year old female, and I am a great listener. My friends always come to me for advice, and you can too. Ask me whatever you want, I will be happy to try to help you with ANY problem or dilemna. I will do my best to give you a great answer. Whatever you ask, I will never judge or make fun of you - I will be honest and respectful with you, telling you my advice with a kind and rational answer. I have traveled all over, had many unique opportunities and experiences, and have great friends from many different places all over the world. All the traveling has taught me a lot about different kinds of people and I have gained a lot of insight and perspective throughout it all. I'd like to think that some of what I have learned will be helpful to other people, and that I can offer advice that takes into account all that I have come across in my 20 years, both from my experiences and the experiences of those around me. I was also an elite athlete, so I have some experience in fitness/training/health questions as well. Thanks for visiting my column! Have a fantastic day!!

Hi Amanda. I know, it's really tough when it feels like you and a friend are not as close as you used to be. Moving on is a part of life, and it is normal to start hanging around with new people, but I understand your need to still be friends with this other girl. I'm glad you are such a dedicated friend. Make an effort to just to talk to her at least once a week. Do you both have internet access? Start emailing back and forth. It's so much easier to keep in contact with people now that you can use email, instant messenger...it's really is a great way to stay friends. Even though you moved in opposite directions, and since you are only 13, you can't drive yet, try and make an effort to get together every once in awhile. I'm sure she misses hanging out with you as much as you miss sharing things with her, so plan a little trip to the mall, or even better, have a girls' night sleepover. Stay up all night and just catch up and talk. That is sure to bring you guys closer, and gives you a chance to spend some quality time together. Really, though, just make the effort to call her, email her, or even send her a cute little 'just to say hi' cards in the mail. Tell her, (or write to her) that you feel like you are drifting apart, and you value her too much as a friend to let it continue, and just tell her you want to spend some more time together. Chances are, she will want to get your friendship back on track as well. Good luck, I hope this answered your question... inbox me if you ever need something else or someone to talk to!
