i am currently living in africa and i am feeling very very depressed as time goes by. i've been taken from the friends i love and i am slowly going into insainity. we moved cause my mom thought that the rest of the family hated living in texas, which wasnt true at all. i have left the girl i love behind and cant stop thinking about her, and now i am the most lonesome man on earth. i cant make friends here as they are all immature and just plain stupid. every weekend i am cooped up at home because we aren't aloud outside unless we are going to the store, anothre persons house, or skool. i'm am going insain. i need help before this is the last thing anyone hears from me!
Change is always difficult no matter what it is.I know you miss all your familiar friends...you wouldn't be normal if you didn't! You can make friends though.If the kids in your class are to immature talk to and make friends with some that are older.And you can still email and write to all your old friends.Don't loose touch with them. The girlfriend will be harder but you can write and email her too.You may see other people now because of the distance between you but if it is meant to be you will get together in the future.Keep in touch with her.
Why are you not allowed outside? Maybe once your mom is more familiar with the new neighborhood she will let you venture out more.
I'm sure all your old friends will love hearing about Africa. And all the new friends you make will enjoy showing you the sites. So, don't sit around feeling sorry. You won't go insane! Go have some fun and make some friends:} [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Passionflower384 answered Monday March 21 2005, 7:22 am: i went through kind of the same thing. About a year and a half ago i moved to england from america. It was hard at first but if you try to get yourself involved wiht other people your age, like going to a local hangout or a youth group. Eventually things get better as you get more used to your new envirnment. Things worked out for me ok. I hope you feel better. [ Passionflower384's advice column | Ask Passionflower384 A Question ]
Altazuma answered Monday March 21 2005, 3:20 am: Give it time. Don't expect people in Africa to be the same as back in Texas. They aren't. They may not be either immature or stupid, just different. They have grown up in a different society, culture and set of values. Try giving them a chance. [ Altazuma's advice column | Ask Altazuma A Question ]
