Me and my bestfriend are miles apart!
Well since I moved to riverside me and my bestfriend don't see eachother alot! And it's a weird freindship now. And she's always pressuring me about when can she come out. And my mom keeps telling me she doesn't know. Is our freindship worth keeping??

Yes your friendship is worth keeping! Why wouldn't it be? Just because you can't spend time face to face with her does not mean you should stop talking to her. Good friends are hard to come by, don't lose one just because you moved.
It's not hard to have a friend who lives far away, trust me, I'm talking from personal experience here. All it takes it a little effort. Talk on IM/Facebook/etc, text her, call her on the phone, there are other ways to keep in touch besides visiting! Tell you friend that it's not a good time for her to come out, but you don't want to stop being friends. Explain to her that she doesn't need to come visit you in order to maintain your friendship.
Good Luck =]

Assuming you two still enjoy talking on the phone or computer..whatever, I'd say the friendship is worth keeping and putting effort into. You'll both develop a sort of new life without each other so it will feel weird for a while, but get together when you can and stay in touch.
When your older or even in college, maybe you can make it a point to live closer to each other.

Yes. If you are best friends, distance should mean nothing. I have a friend who lives in Chicago, IL and I live near Detroit, MI. We're best friends and yet we still keep contact.
My point is, you don't have to hang out all of the time to keep a friendship. You can hang out every once in awhile, when both of you are able to.
Things like web-cams, IM, email, texting, phone calls, written letters, etc. are what can keep a friendship going when you can't have face-to-face conversation.
Please tell your friend that your mother is the one who would have to take you, I'm assuming, and she can't just take you over her house whenever. Gas is expensive and I'm assuming it's over an hour's trip. Let her know that you'll let her know when you're available to hang out.
