moving.
I`m moving in a few months, and I`m very scared. I've lived in the same house for all my life, gone to schools right next to each other ( the elm. && middle schools are right next to each other ) progressed through each grade with the same familiar faces all around, and hung out doing nothing with my same group of best friends every weekend. I usually hate change, and I do now too. I love my life exactly the way it is, I find myself crying everynight `cause I don't want to move. I am very fortunate though, I`m moving only about 15 minutes away, but I am going to be at a new school / school district. I have one person I know at this new school, However my current school is so full they are redistricting a few neighborhoods to my new school. So I will know some people. I know yall probably think I`m a greedy wimp for being so sad even when I`ll have some friends, but you don't understand. It's been the same way all my life and I love it, I`m afraid of change, afraid of this move, afraid to leave what I love.
- how do I get over this fear ? How can I make the best of my move? How can I be sure my "friends" now won't forget about me when I move ?

What state and city do you live in? Well, anyway you seem like a really great person and your move is up to your parents. There is no doubt that you're going to have to move, so you might as well make the best of it. Make sure you have time to say good-bye to all of your friends, and since you're only moving 15 minutes away I'm sure it won't be that bad. If you're not shy, then you'll be fine making lots of friends. Maybe you and your friends can have like one last sleepover before you move. And play fun games and just talk to go to a movie or bowling or something. Do things to get your mind off moving, like painting or maybe going on a short vacation with your family or friends. I hope it all works out and you find some more friends that you can spend time with. Sorry! Good Luck.

The anxiety you are experiencing is natural for soeone being removed from their comfortable surroundings. But think of the excitement! You are going to meet an entire new group of friends, while still being able to retain your old ones. It's going to infinitely broaden your horizons. You know everyone in your school, and they all know you. This is an opportunity to re-invent or learn more about yourself. At the very least, if the experience is less than perfect, you are lucky enough to be close to your old friends. At least you're not moving out of state or cross-country. You just might go to your new school and find the grass actually IS greener on the other side.
Good Luck,

Well you could ask your friends for theire AIM, Phone #, ect so you can keep in touch with them and why dont you invite your friends over to your new house sometimes. When you move you can think of it as a new start. The cool thing about moving to a new district is that you can have a clean slate and nobody will know any rumors about you. Think of your move as an adventure.
If you want to make other friends, talk to the peeps and get to know them better. There is this one girl in my language arts class who moved here from Chicago and shes quite the social butterfly. Usualy you will get used to stuff after a while. I bet you will be one of the most popular people in that school. I wish you the best of luck:D

I understand why you are scard-and it is natural. What you have to do is go into this new school with your head up and be yourself. There will be many changes in your life-alot will be unexpected,and you will have to find a way to deal with them. Maybe you might want to take this time to deal with this and when you get through it you can say that was not so bad and when something else approaches that you have to deal with you can learn from this change. Just keep in mind everyone is their ownself no one however is better than you Hope i could help
