coping when you miss your friends
Sometimes things in life change which can mean we don't get to see our friends as much as we used to. You might be moving to a different school or college, or your family might be moving house. This could mean you don't get to see your friends as much.
Think about ways you can stay in touch with your friends. You could:
- keep their phone number so you can contact each other
- make friends on social media
- arrange to meet up in the future.
Making new friends
When things change, remember that this can also be a good opportunity to make new friends.
Think about your close friends. At one point, you weren't friends with them and you had to get to know them for the first time. If you start a new school, there will be people there who you don't know – but you might become really good friends with them.
