Hi there
It sounds like things are really tough for you at school and with your friends at the moment. I’m sorry that you feel like crying all the time, it does seem you are really upset and sometimes friendships can make us feel really strongly. How would you feel about talking to your friend about how you are feeling – maybe she doesn’t realise that you are feeling so strongly about this and that it’s upsetting you.
Sometimes writing a letter or a note can help someone understand how their behaviour is making you feel. You could also maybe talk to your teacher about this and ask if she can sit down with you and your friend to work things out. It’s always OK to talk about what is on your mind, no matter what it is.
It can hurt to see your friends move on, but friendships do change sometimes. It doesn’t have to be anyone’s fault, sometimes people just change. While that can be really hard, it can also be a good opportunity to get to know the other people in your class better. It’s OK to need to talk about this!
You did really well to write to me and ask about this. Talking to your parents doesn’t have to mean they get involved or do anything, if you don’t want them too, but you could then have someone to talk to about how you are feeling. Remember your parents were young once too and they will have had problems with friends too. Their experience can really help you – and if that takes time, at the very least your parents could give you a cuddle if you feel you need to cry.
If you do need to talk about it, you can also always come and talk to one of our counsellors at ChildLine.
Take care,
Sam
