Second thoughts...

<p>Ok, so my school year just ended and I know I should be happy, but I'm really sad about leaving my friends and stuff. This was probably the best school year of my life and I just feel really depressed that I wont really be able to see most of my friends again. Anyone know how to solve this problem?</p>

<p>No seconds thoughts, please!
Go ahead and look forward!
Keep in touch with your friends (if possible).</p>

<p>Try to keepin touch, it's not like they're all dying or somthing :) . look forward to next kear, and keep your eyes on the prize. They'll be no room for sadness.</p>

<p>I started at a private day school this year, and it is very hard to see my old friends. It's difficult balancing social lives between your old school and new school, but since you'll be boarding you don't really have a choice. The only time you'll see your old friends is on breaks (assuming you're not a local boarder), but cell phones and the internet make staying in touch so much easier. I wouldn't worry about your old friends. If they're true friends, you won't have a problem keeping in contact. Good luck at boarding school!</p>

<p>im in the same boat...we had our graduationa and a dinner dance last night and i cant even explain how much i creid last night :(</p>

<p>yes i feel exactly the same sometimes, it will all be good, don't worry at all and leave in a happy state</p>

<p>look forward to prep school.</p>

<p>I definitely feel sad that I will be attending BS 1.5 hours away from most of my friends, many of whom I have known for more than five years. But I also look forward to the opportunities BS will offer and the fact that I will make many new friends. I also know that I will still be able to stay in touch with my middle school friends. I wouldn't sweat it to much; just stay excited about next year and find ways to stay in touch.</p>

<p>yeah, i understand how u feel, kmfansi... my school just had its dinner dance last night... but im sure you'll be able to keep in touch during breaks, not to mention cell phones and the internet.</p>

<p>I know exactly how you feel.. this is my second year at my school and I found a perfect group of friends. We are all soooo close and it is very hard for me to leave. But what I'm doing is spending every last minute with them as well as remembering how much fun it will be when I come back for vacations.</p>

<p>i feel the same way. i've been at my school three years and it's extremely small and wonderful. i really love my friends and teachers. i would definitely not leave if i had the choice between leaving my school and going to a different school, but it ends at eighth grade. despite this, i am incredibly excited to go away to school. this is my last week at school, and i know i'm going to spend a large amount of it in tears with my friends!</p>

<p>Hey, you can always look at it this way: when you return to home during vacation breaks you will appreciate the time that you spend with your friends and family so much more...which is a wonderful thing when you really think about it!</p>

<p>I'm going to Choate, and I live on the entirely opposite side of the country!</p>

<p>My high school now has a really strong theatre program, and it's so hard to leave that behind because it's such a close family. But I just think of all the positive things I'll gain from going to such a wonderful school.</p>

<p>Also, think of it as a bigger picture: Everyone you know now doesn't even equal like, a hundredth of the world's population. Every new place you go there is a new opportunity to meet amazing life long friends. And if the ones you have now are worth keeping, it won't be hard to stay friends with them.</p>

<p>Imagine how many people would love nothing more than to be in your position. I know what it feels like to get rejected, and its terrible. Consider yourself lucky!!</p>
