Question Posted Saturday September 25 2004, 3:17 pm
I've lost track of how many friends I have, let's just say it's a lot. I'm really glad I have all these awesome friends and everything, but I feel really lonely a lot. I mean, I can place my friends in categories, church, current school, old school, and oldest school, dance and riding.
The thing is my dance friends. Dance is my life, literally. I get depressed when I can't go, I dance anywhere from 2-4 days a week, and we have a show coming up pretty soon. My 3 very best friends are from my studio, but all 3 of them live up by the studio, and I live on the opposite side of town. I talk about them at school quite a bit, and it makes my school friends crazy. I've tried to generally stop talking about dance this year, and I think it's working.
I just feel like I have to divide my time with people from school and people from dance. When I dont' see my friends from dance for a while, I feel like there's just a huge part of my life missing, and then people at school ask what's wrong, and it makes me crazy. Should I just call it quits with friends at school? I'm just kind of confused.

School is boring enouhg as it is, if you cut all of your friends off, it will be even more boring, you will be so depressed you won't even want tog o anymore. It is good to have different friends from all the different places and activities you go to. It means you are a good at socializing and people like socializing with you. Think of how people will feel if you just cut them off. You have to just find time for all of your friends. And its okay if you talk to your school friends about your friends from dance. They know you dance and those other firneds are a part of your life as well. I'm sure you talk about your friends from school to your friends from dance. It shouldn't bother either of them. And if you feel like you aren't seeing your friends form dance enough, make some plans with them outside of dance. Maybe have them go to a party or something that one of your friends from school is having. But, whatever you do, don't drop any of your friends.
