I know exactly how you feel. About 3 years ago my best friend moved all the way to India and I was heartbroken. I emailed her all the time and I still do occasionally. It feels really good to know that as long as you have a computer to use you can keep in touch pretty easily. If you have her email adress or her parent's email adress it's even easier than using Skype because you don't have to deal with finding a time that both of you can go on. I hope you stay friends with her for a long time, and by the way, you can always hope that your parents will surprise you with a trip to New Mexico over summer vacation. Maybe someday your friend will move back, you never know.......

Here let me start out with this:

"There are lots of fish in the sea."

Now I'm not saying to replace your friend. In fact she is irreplaceable. What I am saying is there are lots of people out there! And things like that have to happen. Some things in life just are a drag and bring you to tears. But if you are feeling this way, talk to your other friends about it. Maybe the know someone, who knows someone...ect. Somewhere out there is the perfect match. 

And its O.K. to be sad! Don't take it to a higher level though! Tell your friend how much you miss her and maybe it will help. Being sad is a natural human thing, EVERYONE is sad at somepoint. And even depressed, but don't take it so harshly. I had to move from my close friends and it STANK. I cried for forever. I was lonely, I found friends, but am still looking for that one.

If you are that desperate. Talk to someone. Compliment them, start a conversation. If you don't want to do that act like a loner until some nice person comes along and says hi. If that happens, don't cut off the conversation!

Remember: You are special. Everyone is sad. The world sucks. (The world is a terrible place. Literally) But every here and there, you can find a ray of sunshine.

That's so sad! I don't know if this will help, but I've had good experiance with CBer advice, so it probably will.

The first step is realizing that you can Skype her and stuff. It's not as good as seeing her in person, but at least you aren't a total downer with the whole, "I'M NEVER EVER GOING TO TALK TO HER AGAIN" kinda thing. 

The next step is talking to your other friends. They probably feel the same way and you can all help eachother. Also, maybe talk to them to meet some of their other friends if you need another friend. 

You'll always miss her, but she might be able to come up for holidays or birthdays or something like that. Good luck!

Why, did you happen to say Pittsburgh?? 

Hey, like Savvy said, I live in Pittsburgh! I could be your friend! Probably not, but... You know there's so many ways to communicate these days. Skype. Texting. Email. IMing. Social Media. Phone. Snail Mail. In video games. Telepathy. No, that one's not here yet. You get my point, though? You should make a, like, a schedule for when you guys will connect. Next time you get a hold of her, do that. I think knowing exactly when you will see each other will make things much better.

Next week I'm going on vacation somewhere super close to Pittsburgh! Maybe I'll see you or Savvy or Ellie!
