Making the Distance

Check these out, too...

Everything may seem fine and dandy so far this year, but one thing is missing: your very best friend. Maybe she had to move because of her mom’s job, or her fab new house means a new school. You’re gonna miss her, but here’s how to stay close.

Ride the Tech Train

In today’s teched-out world, there’s no reason you and your friend can’t remain BFFs. Cells, IM, texts, e-mail and Facebook can help keep your friendship intact. Life can get super busy, so set a time in stone to chat each week.

Make Nice Much?

Refuse to be friendless when your opportunities are endless! Make it your mission to mingle with the masses. Get out there and be sociable. Like a butterfly.

Hit the Road

Why not spread those wings on over to your BFF’s new digs! Whether she’s one town over or clear across the country, consider planning a visit. For faraway BFFs, talk to your parents about letting you make the trip.

No Cloning Around

When making new acquaintances, no comparisons. OK? No one will be a carbon copy of her, and would you even want that?

MOD MOD!!
this came in perfect timing-- my BFF is moving to Washington, Seattle.......im gonna miss her so much!!! thx 4 this. BTW: my question, what if my friend forgets me aftr she moves? shes a little older than me!

You and your BFF can stay close by becoming pen pals or keeping in touch other ways! Every once in a while you can send each other pics of what you've been up to and letters! I have friends all over the country, and we stay close by writing letters and ichatting or skyping. Ask your parents if you can download ichat or skype and you and your friend will be able to "see" each other all the time!
