Best Friend Seperation


Question Posted Thursday April 8 2004, 9:21 pm

In our school, we have teams that everyone is seperated on each year. We dont usually associate with the other teams. This year my best friend and I were put together...but next year, we won't be. I know everyone says that I will make new friends, but it is the hardest thing in the world, because I will never see the person that means the most to me! What can I do? I feel really empty inside...I can't live without seeing her everyday! We won't be in the same hallway or anything, not even the same classes! Now what?

Just wanted to update~ me and my "once bff" that i was talking about in this question actually don't even really talk anymore. it honestly wasnt that big of a deal after i overcomed it. i've made new friends and so has she. so even though we arent in contact anymore, it made us both stronger.

thanks for all of the good advice~ keep up the good work!

love~ dearbritney

Just because you wont see each other in school, doesn't mean you can't still be friends. It may even make you stronger. And it may be a good thing that you get to make some new friends. You can never have too many :)

I'm sorry, I had the same problem with my friend. We were in da same class for 5 years and now we barely see each other. Well i dont really wanna make you feel bad but make the best of it. See her when you can.

There isn't any reason why you can't stay friends just because you aren't on the same team. Can you sit together at lunch? If not, realize that life goes on outside of school. You can hang out on the weekends, talk on the phone at night, or join an extracurricular activity together. This way you'll be able to catch up on all the things you missed while you were at school. Think of all the gossip you will have to share from your separate teams!
Another idea is to start a friendship notebook. This is something my own best friend and I did back in middle school. We had a notebook that we would write long notes to each other in, and then at the end of the day we would exchange notebooks, read what the other person had written, and then write a response. The next day before school, we'd exchange again. You can start something similar for you and your friend.

If theres no written rule anywhere that says the two of you cant be friends AT ALL then do not worry about it! I mean theres school time and then theres away from school time. Take an advantage of your time spent away from school so that the two of you will still be friends. it may seem sooo horrible to you because your best friend in the world isnt gonna be on your team again but you gotta thing about it like this....your not her friend only in school are you? so you two will be just fine!!! promise!

What the hell kind of school separates the kids into teams?!

Is there any rule that says you can't talk to your best friend? Because if not then there is of course after school time right!

You have to make the effort and not just give up because your best friend isnt plopped right in front of you. If you arent willing to make the little extra effort than maybe your friendship isnt as strong as you may have thought.

Do it, make that extra effort.

I've never been at the same school as any of my closest friends. People deal in mysterious ways. Enjoy what you've got of youth.

Me and my best friend felt the same exact way when we were seperated in teams. After talking it over we found ourselves talking to each other on the phone about two hours a day and going over each others houses three times as much. We are closer then ever, it'll be ok
