Alright…

My best friends have changed… and it’s messing with my head. I feel left out and abandoned.

Maggie- She’s always been kinda… dark. But lately she’s been saying stuff like “kill me” and “I want to die”. She says she’s sick of our school, but that it’s okay because apparently she’s moving.

Hayley- Use to be so average and emotionless. Now she is finally showing some feelings and we’re getting close, but it’s still weird.

Nicole- My best friend, I love her. She’s been there for me and she’s helped me for so long. Now she’s changed. I can’t put my finger on it, but she just has. It’s like she doesn’t care about me any more. She seems so caught up with other things.

Pria- New friend, just met her this year… problem is, I’m jealous of her. She’s pretty, tall, skinny, and the worse part is, she’s in an arranged marriage, so she’s off-limets. That means she must be even more desirable.

Ryan- As most of you know… my ex. He’s seemed so sad lately. I’ve known him since the first day I walked onto the bus in 3rd grade. I’ve told him so much, and I even called him today and we talked for 20 minutes. I felt pretty good about it, but now I have confused feelings about him. I don’t think I want to get back together with him, but I want to help him.

And that’s it… I’ll let you know if I think of anyone else.

Such is the nature of life–especially in high school. I only talk to one friend from high school. He is my only childhood friend I have left. People find new interests (you will find you will too) so they make new friends. I lost a couple to drugs. Some others just because they fell in with a different crowd. People come and go out of our lives, but it doesn’t mean our memories with them are any different. They were your friend for a reason. You were given a chance to get to know them. And nothing can take away your past. Now you have a new future. And that is reasonably scary. The unknown can be. But it brings potential too.

high school does suck, it really does…mainly depending on the way one looks at it though. some advice…maybe you are changing as well? just a thought…i really dont know.

I know for a fact I am. I’ve been told so, I was happy before, I wasn’t “suicidle” (I put that in quotes cuz I haven’t attempted it, I’ve just thought of it). But still, I was hoping that I’d have help, but I don’t, they’re all just forgetting me.

I expected Nicole to be the one I stuck with. We are still friends, but it’s not the same. It’s like an illusion.

I think you are discovering the difference between true friendship and mere acquaintances the hard way here. If people are pulling away from you because of what is going on in your life, regardless of how much it is changing you, they are not true friends. Friends stick by you no matter what.

Or they may be finding it hard how to handle the situation. They don’t know how to react to your problems. They are lost and scared themselves, and not really sure what to do. Unfortunately, people shy away from what they don’t understand, rather than persevere to try and make things right. Have you talked to them about these changes, especially Nicole?

It’s not that they’re pulling away or we’re not friends, it’s that they’re different, and everything’s different.

I’m sure your firends still care very much for you.As people grow, they go through changes. Your friends are dealing with their own issues, but that doesn’t take anything away from you. Your a good person. Always looking out for everyone. Maybe your just seeing more into things then they actually are. By the way, Don’t be jealous of anyone. That takes away from your dignity. She may end up being one of your dearest friends. Sometimes the prettiest ones end up being the lonelest.

Not a bad point… but I’ve told nicole that I think she’s changed. Things were good after that, and then things changed again.

I’d say this is very much a possibility.

Just go with this change. You can’t fight against it. When things do change, keep talking about it with them. If they care as much as you do they will help you to work things out. Don’t leave yourself in the dark as to why things are changing. Work it out if you want to keep these relationships. Otherwise walk away, let it be, and find something or someone else.

If she is not talking to you, then something is quite definitely wrong. Keep at it. Tell her she needs to be open with you. Otherwise the relationship just does not work.

Yes, I’ve been there too. But you will make new friends. You will see. It’ll take time, but you will see. But what of yourself? Sometimes you can be your own best friend :) And what of your family? Your friends here on help? Never say never. So long as you let people into your life, you will always have someone.

Well, basically, the way I see it, high school is the time when you discover who your true friends are. The people who you thought you were close to may change drastically when you get there. This is from personal experience, people change when they get to be around more different people.

Well, I think high school is just a step in life and the friends you make may stay or you may grow out or away from some of them. Getting out and getting involved will help you make new relationships and grow. Being tired down to the same old, same old is a rut.
Share your time and always leave room for new adventures.

Learning to walk away from drama and not tying yourself down or putting yourself in a box until it’s time…is where it’s at:) First impressions set the stage, when you walk in a room of strangers with confidence, they all want to know you and what you can do. Let them earn that.

Nicole is growing into her own. She is becoming more social. She is becoming what I was before. Now I have changed in a way that I am now not as social and sad. I am being left behind, that’s the problem.

You can’t have figured it out yet..you haven’t see the world.

This is what I know to be true.

I’m not a sports buff, but I can play almost anything well when I put my mind and heart into it. A couch told me during a volleyball game not to “grow roots”. Focus on the ball or the now. Block out all distractions that keep you from moving. You don’t need to be 14 going on 25….be 14. Having fun and ignore what really isn’t your deal yet. Enjoy things that are popular for your age group and they the stress to the rest…have a holiday:) It’s harmful to you and our loss if you don’t enjoy yourself.

Get out of the house and grab a friend or anybody and go out to a new adventure. Be safe of coarse. Visit art galleries, pretend you are a tourist, tour colleges, visit designer shops or even sit in on local meetings. Don’t stand still or you’ll grow roots and get a ball in the head…lol. Some friends your age here dye their hair purple..please don’t do that:) But you can tease it and have a freaky day. Have some fun and milk this sentence…”I can’t do that, I’m only 14″. Take advantage of not being responsible…it doesn’t last long and you are late for your dinner date:)

That part sucks, but it will payoff. Crap, didn’t mean it to sound like that, but the pain now is the gain later. People that drop out early suffer more doing catch up.
