Dear Plumpy,
I’m so sad. My best friend is moving away in a month and I’m going to miss him SO much. My best friend is like my brother – he and I have been friends since we were babies (our moms are good friends). Everyone jokes and says that we could be twins – even though I’m a girl and he’s a boy. We’re just so similar! He’s moving right across the city – much too far to ride our bikes. What am I going to do without him?

Dear AL,
I’m so sorry to hear that your friend is moving. It’s a really, really hard thing to deal with. Especially if you’re as close as you and your BFF are.
Since you can’t stop him from moving, the best thing to do is to figure out how to best stay in touch – through email, snail mail, phone calls…and definitely arrange some time for you to see each other in person. Maybe you can take turns visiting each other every other weekend. Or maybe your families can get together and have dinner or go out someplace. Since your mom is good friends with his mom, they’ll probably see each other now and then – so maybe you can tag along and see your pal. Moving across the city may seem far, but the older you get, the more you’ll see people you know and love move across the province or state…across the country…and maybe even around the world! What matters is how much you care about the person, and that you stay in touch. Whether your BFF is right around the corner, or half an hour away, you and he can still be a big part of each other’s lives.
Love,
Plumpy
My BFF already moved away! :-( But, we keep in contact over email and over the phone. Plus we are planning to visit each other this week sometime. We haven’t seen each other since school got out, which was May 27th. So I’m VERY excited!
Sorry to hear about your friend. When me and my best friend went to sixth grade, we went to different schools, so we emailed and called each other. Since we live near a skating rink, we also arranged to go there every other Friday. We still keep in touch today. Don’t worry, everything will turn out to be okay. But for now, spend as much time with your friend as possible, and enjoy every minute of it. Hope this helps! :)
Its hard when your BFF moves away. My BFF Shiela moved away in the 3rd gr. I miss her so much even though its been like 3 whole years maybe even 4! I haven’t talked to her since she moved and all.
my freind is moving away next year what will i do it will never be the same ! – worried girl
im moving but my friends will still be with me at school. today,my mom and i found a sugar plum cheeky monkey at hallmark!i adopted it and named it suugarplum.my username is cowgirljenny!add me!sincerly,
cowgirljenny :D
i moved to a different school but i got new friends!!!! and my old friends were in girl scouts and im still apart of it so i see them at camps and stuff.
And if your friend moved 3 hours away? I can’t see her that often, i don’t have her phone number and when i email her she doesn’t email back?(i think she can’t get on email that often.)
I miss my best friend, Ben. He moved away years ago and since then i’ve only seen him a few times. I really miss him :cry:
He was such a good friend and we’re alike in so many ways. It’s so painful. I don’t know where he is now because I think he moved again and I don’t know if I’ll ever see him again………
That is some good advice. Being able to hear from your friends after they move away is sometimes fun. If your friend moves very far away then the two of you could become penpals.
