advice
I'm not a good friend. I don't do it on purpose but I let friends go easy. They like, move to a different school and we say we'll stay in touch...but then I don't call.
If friends want me I'm like there for them and all but I dunno I find it hard to meet new people and speak to them cos I'm quite shy so I'm losing friends and can't make new ones so I'm left out a lot and feel very lonely.
What can i do to get new friends and be better at keeping the old ones?
You're not a bad friend,you just don't know how to make/keep them.The best way to make friends is to talk to them.Just start a small conversation.It might be a little hard for you because you are shy,but just try it.You could also invite someone that you want to be friends with to go somewhere with you.Like the movies,or to the beach.
Keeping friends is a little easier.If they invite you to go somewhere,by all means go!Call them on the phone once in a while.It's harder for some people to keep in touch with friends over the summer because you don't see them at school.
Those are some things you can do to make/keep friends.Hope I helped!
