Question Posted Saturday February 19 2005, 10:41 am
I came to a new school this year and i hav a couple new friends and i eally miss my old friends and hardly ever hear from some of them. I kind of feel like my new friends are replacing my old ones but i know they're not and they are great friends. Every time we go to the CVS in my old neighborhood i think it would be the coolest thing if i saw them. Someone please help me.

Since you feel like your new friends are replacing the old, why not hold some sort of social event where both sets of friends can meet? Even plan a trip to the skating rink or the movies or wherever you like to go to socialize.
Make sure you keep in touch with your old friends that you want to stay friendly with. From personal experience, I know that if you want to keep a longer-distance friendship going, you should stay in communication.
xForeverxForgottenx answered Saturday February 19 2005, 1:56 pm: well you're not replacing them. its just that you dont get to see them so much and its totally normal for this to happen. especially when you move into a new school. you obviously care about both sets. so you're not replacing them, its just you want to be with both. sorry i couldnt help more. but if you ever need to talk im here.

Give your old friends a ring or send them an email. No one's telling you to forget them; just try to accept this new part of your life :-)
Good luck!

Karen answered Saturday February 19 2005, 10:52 am: Why don't you call up your other friends and ask them if they want to hang out? If you hardly hear from them, then it's time that you call them or talk to them. When you go to CVS in your old neighborhood, stop by your friends' houses and talk to them. They probably think that your new friends are replacing them. Hope I helped :)
