I'm a 15 year old girl. I am realy depressed like all the time. I moved to a new school and I'm finding it hard to make friends. My "friends" from my old school are not in my life anymore. I ended the friendship with my 2 "best friends" because they were just really horrible people. But I find that I am still really obsessed with them and miss them alot. They are both on my mind all the time. The thing is if I went back to them and they forgave me, well they were just so horrible when I was friends with them. (i.e.- they would hook up with the guys I was hooking up with and made it look like I was the bad person because I got upset over it) I don't know what to do. Please help!
I moved schools this year too. I found you just have to talk to people- go out of your way to be nice. If things aren't working talk to a teacher who may be able to help- maybe by moving you forms so that you can meet more people? You just have to really work at it. It will take time and the friendship you have will take a while before they will equal the closeness that you have previously, but it will hopefully come. You are better off without them.

Those are places you can make friends at! Don't be shy! You have to get out there! You can join city teams like recreational sports or something! Get involved and you'll meet plenty of people! Those "Friends" aren't worth your time. I mean if you really care about them, talk to them about it. Don't keep it bottled up inside, that only causes to you to get more depressed and then soon you'll explode. So talk it out with them. If they continue to do it, then you should end the friendship. You talking it out maturely shows how much of a better person you are. So don't fret! Keep your head up to the sky... Hope it helped!

Trevor-Wolf answered Sunday October 10 2004, 12:50 pm: Well I think that your obsession is just caused by your move to a different school. Now it seems that since you have known these people for so long, you dont know what to do without them, especially being at a new school where you have to make new friends all together. I think that you should just make as many "real" new friends as you can at your new school. You're right, your previous 2 best friends are horrible. A real friend or best friend for that matter would never cause someone to look bad or interfere in their life problems to make them miserable. IM me if you want to talk a little more, I am more than willing to help you out. :)
