Hi,
It's completely understandable to have these feelings around missing your friend.
Even though you and your friend only have contact in school, you could think about making arrangements so that you can still have contact outside of school. For example, you could swap phone numbers or arrange to meet up in the holidays and weekends.
Part of growing up is about learning how to meet new people and high school is a great opportunity to make new friends and build your friendship groups. It might be worth having a look at our page about friends. There is some information there which could help you feel confident when meeting new people.
You could also talk to your friends as they could be feeling similar to you and you could support each other between now and when you move to high school.
If you wanted to talk this through some more you can come through and talk with one of our counsellors who would be happy to support you. You can call for free on 0800 1111, have a 1-2-1 chat, or send an email.
Take care,
Sam
You can talk privately to a counsellor online or call 0800 1111 for free.
You can ask me about anything you want, there's nothing too big or small. I read every single letter but I can only answer a few each week. My replies are published here on my page.
