I have lived in my town for 8 years of my life and now my family is probably moving to a town about an hour away. when we move i'll b a freshman next yeAR( I'm a girl by the way) i don't know how i am going to possibly make new friends!! How do i talk to people and not seem all shy and stuff? I want to make new friends right away, but HOW? i need help!! Also when we move I'll have to break up with my boyfriend that i love so much. How can i deal with that too? I'll rate i promise!!
About your boyfriend: even though you guys aren't going to be in a romantic relationship, you can still stay friends. Email him or talk on the phone. And after a while, you should start to talk to new guys and move on.

Another good thing is that your moving while your just starting high school, so you'll be in a high school with a bunch of other new freshman. So most likely, they are going to be thinking the same things you are "how i am going to possibly make new friends!!". Just be yourself and you should be fine. Also sign up for after-school activities, and groups/activities during school, that is a great way to make friends with people who share the same interests as you. :)
I know moving sucks!! I've moved at least 5 times, and it is very hard. But, there are lots of benefits to it, just keep and open mind and think of the good things that come with moving!

You'll meet someone in your new neighborhood and make friends. Through that person you will meet more people. It may even be a good thing.
An hour away really isn't that far away. You could probably hang on to your boyfriend for a while if you both want to. But, maybe a new start there isn't a bad thing either.
Unless he can make it to some of your school dances and things it will be pretty hard to stay together. You really don't want to miss those kinds of things. So, staying together (unless he drives) may not be the best thing.
