Q: I am really upset right now. Let me flashback:
"Kaley" and I went to the same school two years ago, and I was there since I was in first grade. She just started school there that year, so I wanted to be nice and talk to her. It turned out, we had a lot in common and by the end of the year, we were bestfriends. I went over her house a few times and we always had a blast. Then at when school ended for the summer, she was going to a different school and I was also going to a different one.
Last year, we promised eachother we would still keep in touch, which I TRIED to do but she obviously wasn't interested anymore in being there for me. Now a new year is starting again with school and everything, and she sent me an email with her AIM. She told me NOT to ever call her though because she's always "busy". Now, she was online a few seconds ago and her away message said "hey, I'm around the house. Lindsey, call me!" And then when I was on for only a few seconds, she signed off. well, my name isn't lindsey and that made me upset. I'm so upset now... how can I deal with this?

Hey! Um, I think this happened because you guys are both going to different schools. You guys were like really good friends during the school year, but now that she has moved it feels like the both of you have distanced right? Hmmm...what I would like to say is, "Don't worry". Because she is going to a different school, try to understand that she's meeting new people and experiencing new things,and also you are going through changes. Even if she seems to hang out with her other friends more,it doesn't mean that it will replace the bond you guys had back when you guys went to the same school. So go out, have fun and meet new people. Because after all, you guys are still going to remain friends.
