<p>Alright. So im 14 and my family and i have been living in my house for 16 years. And its in the perfect place. its right by 4 of my BEST friends. like walking distance. and now were moving to a house...not too far away but now i cant walk to there house anymore. and i really dont wanna move, but we cant back down because were already in the process of moving. the only good parts of this is that im moving next to 1 of my best friends...but thats only 1. and its a pretty big and nice house. and i dont wanna be so sad about it anymore. so i need some help. im not like some depressed or anything...but i was thinking "if theres nothing i can do about it i might as well be happy about it" but i just dont know how. so if anyone has any ideas about how to be happier about this horrible change...please share. i think i need it right now.</p>
<p>I walked across a highway once. It was horrifying (especially when I found out there was a place to walk underneath it).</p>
<p>Oh, and I think you just have to get used to it. Things happen. You don't live THAT far, so make the effort and plan things to do. Ask your parents to take you or take the bus.
They have three other people, so they may feel less of a need to go out of their way and hang out with you.</p>
<p>Realize that people move to entirely different STATES, SCHOOLS, AND COUNTRIES in entirely new atmospheres, and have to start over everyday.</p>
<p>That might be a start.</p>
<p>I mean, seriously.... I'm not trying to be mean. But honestly? Yeah, it's rough, but people go through rougher things than moving over a highway living from 4 friends to 1 friend.....</p>
<p>Just think about an alternative situation when you get sad: your mom or dad has gotten instructions from their company (or whomever they work for) that they've got to pack up and head off to a major city where the new HQ is gonna be located or else they're out of a job. And your parents need that job, so, you're moving. You could be several states away from your friends, entirely new environment. It kind of sucks and it's going to be a bit of an inconvenience but yeah. Could be worse.</p>
<p>And guys, crossing highways is a really bad idea. Just last year a kid got killed right before he was supposed to graduate at my school crossing a highway.</p>
<p>Those underpasses where you can walk under the highways are for animals. If you have one of those, well, go for it.</p>
<p>"you stil have computer/phone to talk with, and on weekends you could meet up at some mall and hang out </p>
<p>......but she can't cross highways, so that won't work."</p>
<p>but on weekends my parents wont be at work so they can bring me to my friends's house. but since they are working during the week i have no way of getting to my friends's house.</p>
<p>Honestly, there has to be some way to get to your friends' houses that won't put your life in jeopardy or involve illegal activity. Are there no bridges that cross the highway? If you still go to the same school, you most certainly won't lose contact with your friends, and even if you don't go to the same school, you'll find a way to be with them if they truly are your friends.</p>
<p>You're going to have to deal with it. You can't change the fact that you're moving, so what do you want us to tell you? The computer, phone, those are the only options you have if you don't want to ride teh bus or something. I have lived 15 years and have gone to a friend's house twice because I live far away from everyone.</p>
<p>All I can say is, deal with it. People deal with much more difficult things, like moving to a new country, everyday.</p>
<p>I've moved from different countries to the USA. I moved from China to Ontario. From Ontario to South Carolina. From South Carolina, I moved to New York.
Moving a couple blocks away from your friends won't be that big of a deal :)</p>
<p>How does your friend that lives right by you get to everyone else's houses? Maybe you can just get a ride with their parents if they're not a work.</p>
<p>This will probably sound rather harsh...
but get over it.</p>
<p>From what you said you'll be close enough to see them often enough anyway.
As others have said, people move every day- different states, different countries.
I personally have been in 9 different schools (all over the country)...
Instead of complaining about something as small as this, you should be feeling lucky enough that you're not moving all that far away.</p>
