Well this I can really relate to. During my childhood I moved around between three different countries. Also I went to international schools, so that meant everyone else moved around just as much. It was impossible not to lose your friends. Oh and thats in an age before messenger and email, so keeping touch was difficult to say the least.
Its really hard I know. However, hang in there, there are two bright spots. The first, and most obvious, is that eventually you will make friends with some people that wont have to leave. It will happen.
Second, keep in touch with the ones that have left. It might really surprise you how old friendships have a way of coming back to life. I recently got together with a guy who was my best friend when I lived in the US (thats back in 1990). Funny thing was that it was just like old times.
Of course it wont always be this way, but I have managed to keep some friendships from ages ago, despite the long distance. In a way its kind of nice to know I have friends scattered all over Europe and the US. Of course I would rather have them here, but at least its not all that bad.
One thing you might consider is widening your circle of friends just a bit. Theres nothing wrong with keeping a handful of good friends, and that way one can be there for each other when one leaves. There are enough good people out there to make it work :)
Good luck. ]
This has happened to me a LOT! But i learned to think of it this way...I'd rather have these really cool friends in my life for however long I have than to have none at all. I don't know how it helps...but it wont ALWAYS happen. No reason to give up on potentially great friendships.
