Best friend moving away
Hi,
My best friend moved to a different school recently and she started today. Well after school she told me about it and everything, and she seems really happy there.. I'm happy for her, but I'm scared that she might find a new best friend or something. She said people are aleady calling her their best friend, it's really fun there, etc. I really don't want to lose her, but I'm scared I will. Any advice is much appreciated, thanks :)

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
When growing up, you'll lose friends and gain friends. Most of the friends you have now, you won't be friends with in the future.
When people grow up, they find new interests and they just change in general. They're not as compatible as they were before.
It's good that you're happy for her. For the most part, you're going to have to accept that she's going to be spending more time there so she'll be spending time with other people there more.
Put in the effort on your end. Try to make plans with her every other weekend or so. If you still feel anxious about this, just let her know that you really care about her and you don't want the distance that you guys now have to ruin your friendship. I'm sure she'll assure you that she will remain friends with you and try to keep in touch as much as possible.

Sometimes you just have to accept that your friend has moved on. I know it's hard because I've been there and it sucks. I met my best friend at school and we were really close. Unfortunately in Year 10 she moved to another school and I lost my best friend. At that time I had another friend but he moved away as well so I didn't really have anyone to talk to. We kept in touch and I would hear about everything that she was doing and I would tell her what I'm up to now. Anyway, I realised that she was going to have new friends and have her own life. We lost touch eventually and I made new friends. I still consider her to be my best friend and I hope she still thinks of me as her best friend.
You don't have to loose contact with her like I did with my best friend. You could e-mail, text or phone your friend. You could even meet up if her school isn't too far away from where you live. So you can still be friends but you just have to realise that she will make friends at her new school and maybe even make other best friends. You don't have to loose her completely but just know that sometimes you can go different ways and no matter how hard that may seem, you just have to accept it.
