My best friend moved
Okay, well 274 days ago my best friend moved back to Thailand. Ive had friends move before- 7to be exact- but i never missed them so much. She moved here 4 years ago (her father is a diplomat) and had to move back. Before she moved, we were in a trio. Me, Erica and her. I remember the day she told us she was moving back. We cried all day and had to go home from school because we were disrupting other students. Needless to say, we were heartbroken. We Skype every week and I've asked my mum if next year when I'm fourteen I can go to Thailand to visit her. I've been saving for two years, because I knew she was going to leave some time. My mum says no because I'm too young. I miss her so much and cry about it every night. I don't know what to do. Please help! Any advice at all is appreciated <3

I'm afraid this time I'm going to have to agree with your mom. Thailand is a much different country with a much different culture and ways about it then here at home. For right now at your present age you are too young, too immature in the ways of the world to be allowed to go to a country like Thailand on your own.
What I would suggest is that you do not give up on your desire to see your friend again. There are two ways you can do so.
1. Is to keep your grades high and learn the language of Thailand while in school. In your senior year you can apply to be an exchange student if her parents will sponsor you.
2. Continue to save. You will continue to grow and become more mature worldly. Continue to study about Thailand so you know about its culture and how they live. Hopefully in a year or two mom will change her mind.
When you're 18 you will no longer need moms permission as you will be an adult. Still a trip such as this should be with moms permission if you plan on going to college with mom footing the bill for school.
