*sigh* I found out today my best friend/ boyfriend is ditching the state come the end of eighth grade... thats like 3/4 of a year away... The one person who I can call in hysterics at 3 am and not have to explain what the fight was about this time... or the one person who refuses to change when the rest of my life is spining out of control.... is uprooting himself and leaving the one place he hates (quote him) with a purple poka dotted passion. He said he'll do anything to leave. And I guess that means hitting the delete button on any self estem that was building up inside me

I'm sorry to hear this. do you think it is all possible you can stay in contact with your friend?

You can not get self esteem from another person, has to come from within.

Aw, I remember those days. My best friend moved at the end of 8th grade just before we went to H.S. He was my best friend since the second grade. We did EVERYTHING TOGETHER. He was like my brother.

I STILL miss him. We barely kept in contact and now I'm friends with his wife on facebook and they have a baby girl. Man, time flies.

Keep in contact with him the best you can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It ain't easy, kid. I didn't think I was going to make it through high school without him. Granted - I did....and I had a great time. I bet all will be well with you even though it doesn't seem so now.

I'm so sorry. This must be rough. I know this is hard, but you will get through it!

No, it doesn't. Not if you don't let it. Take him leaving as a new chapter in your life. Yeah, it'll be hard, but you can do it.

So sorry to hear that. I know its hard, but you can't keep him from doing what he wants (or what he's supposed to do. idk). Maybe there's a deeper reason for him leaving? Ask him. try seeing it from his angle.

If anything, technology makes us feel more connected now than ever. I bet you guys are friends on FB! Talk to him there once he's away. Communication doesn't have to be lost despite the distance.

You still have him the rest of the year! Enjoy the moments you have

Totally agree!

I am sorry for your hurt and saddness, but as you get older this type of thing will happen more and more. People will and grow and move on. Friends will come and go. It sucks but it's part of life. Besides since you are still young, there are plenty of other fish in the sea

Best wishes to you!!
