Making the Distance

 

Check these out, too...

  • My best friend is acting like a different person
  • Wanna make a new friend? 4 festive ice breakers
  • How to work a party like it's your job
  • I'm freaked about befriending the populars
  • My bestie isn't acting like a very good friend

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! Thanks a ton. I was just freaking out!(: By the way, this goes along with my ? before, i always feel guilty for the smallest things, and it drives me crazy. I can't stop though,i try to. Do you have any ideas of how i can stop?

 

Hey girl, sometimes we feel guilty when we are being way too hard on ourselves.  Sometimes, we do make mistakes, and it's good to recognize them and learn from them - then move on.  But if you find yourself feeling guilty for something you really don't need to, try to stop yourself.  Remind yourself that you are doing fine, and don't have to be perfect all the time.  Sometimes it can help to get a second perspective, so talk to an adult or friend you trust if you find yourself stuck in guilty mode.

MOD! Hey. Okay, soooo, my bff is friends with a guy who likes me, she wasnt supposed ot tell me he likes me,but she did. And i told my other bff cause i had to tell her seomthing, and to make what i said make sense, i had to tell her the guy liked me. Should i feel guilty? My best friend said she wouldnt tell anyone,promise. My best friend that told me said 'I shouldnt tel youu...cause hellm get mad.. dont tell any1. I really shouldnt have told!!!!!What do i do??

 

Hey girl, I wouldn't be too hard on yourself - it can be hard to keep a secret like that from your BFFs!  You just don't want it to get spread around, because then he might be embarassed.  But as long as you can trust your BFFs, I think it will be okay.

My Bffs and I write letters to each other and sometimes put bracelets, small stuff like that in them. It's so much fun making them and getting them. We also text, etc.
