Friendship falling apart?
My best friend is a freshman in college and I'm a senior in high school. We used to call each other every night and talk for an hour, but now its an occasional text and we have run out of things to talk about, and we are definitely not as close as we used to be. How can I try to fix this and make it work? (both girls)

Well, I'm sorry to hear about this.
Maybe you could plan a night for just the two of you to go out. Movie and dinner, club, bowling, party, anything like that.
Don't worry about talking to her everyday because then there really wouldn't be much to talk about in your phone conversations.
Let her know that you feel like you two aren't as close and that you would like to do something together.
Good luck.

Hi There,
First off, yes, you should explain to your friend how you feel. If you dont inform her that you think the friendship is falling apart, then she may not even know. I must also say though honey, that college is a whole different ball game than high school. Your friend may not go to school from 8 to 3 like you but her classes may be at all different hours of the day. There is no one in college pushing you to do well and get good grades so the sole responsibility of doing good rests only upon the individual. So talk to your friend, because she may be going through a lot making the adjustment to college life. As for yourself, get involved in some school activities if you aren't already and meet some other people. Im not saying put your BFF to the back burner, but the truth is you are at two different schools, and your lives may grow in different directions from here on out. You can always remain BFF's but right now while you both are making a new adjustment just try to keep the lines of communication open with eachother and it will all work out for the good! Good Luck

hey there,
let me firstly say I know exactly how you feel..my best friend moved schools this year even though we live really close I dont see her as much and we texted more when she was in my school!
what you have to do is tell her how you feel you have recognised there is a problem and hopefully she has too and wants to sort things out.
It will require more effort on both your part but you both have to be willing to work at it and make it happen,this is what me and my friend did like we both realised we had no level of communication at all anymore going from being insepersble,its sad but were both so busy with different things.
so what il say to is promise to both see each other on a weekend when shes back home maybe? make things to talk about ask her whats happening and going on with her tell her the same about you sometimes the best way to get back to how you were is talk about old times which gets you both laughing and remembering the good times and youl both soon realise that you dont want to let the frienship go.
If you do all this and really try but it looks like its going no where then I really am sorry to say that I guess your just going to have to accept thats how things are,sometimes friendships fizzle out we just have to remember the fun times and move on.
I hope thats not the case though! & I hope I helped
