Too old to be my friend?
At school I really don't have any good friends or people that I feel comfortable talking to. I never have anybody over for sleepovers and that sort of thing either. But, last year I had the most wonderful teacher that I wish was my age so that we could do all the fun "B.F.F." type things like sleepovers, the mall, etc. The thing is she moved away last June. ;( We write letters all the time and chat online, but I am just sad. It seems like my best friend moved away. I think the reason why I am so attached is because my mother and I have no relationship whatsoever and I have no siblings. How should I handle this situation? It is almost like the Matilda-Miss Honey ordeal, if you have seen the movie.

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
I understand how attached you must be to your teacher. It is hard to not have many friends and to not have a close relationship to your mom. I also agree that no one is too old to be your friend.
However there are some times when this kind of relationship can be appropriate. Now I know this probably isn't the case but if your teacher ever made you uncomfortable or took advantage of you physically or anything like that, that type of relationship is not okay and you should tell someone.
If it really is a Matilda-Miss Honey situation then you are very lucky that you and your teacher have such a good relationship. I think its great that keep in contact with her. Sometimes teachers can be very special and you can form long lasting relationships with them and that's completely okay and I know it must be hard to lose someone so close to you, but maybe you can visit her.
In the meantime i think it is very important that you try and make friends with kids your age. While your frienship with your teacher is wonderful, relationships with people close in age are important through life and I know how hard it is to make friends but always look for new opportunitys. Maybe tell your teacher how you feel, how much you miss her and ask for her advice.
I hope I helped and if you have any questions don't hesitate to e-mail me.

no one is too old to be your friend. i dont know how old you are, and i don't know how old your ex-teacher is, but as long as this relationship isn't putting your life in danger, there is absolutely no harm in it.
