Letting go...

[Ms.Squeakers]

I seem to have a serious problem. School is ending in a week, and I cant let go of my 8th grade friends. We will say that we will go to the movies, and talk, but its just not the same. To see each other every day, to go through the same stuff, and most of all. A boy. Yes, I have boys for friends. One of which I will miss the most. Im scared to let go. I just cant do it. I will miss them too much.
People say "but Mouse, you will see them in a ye-" yes, that may be true, but lots happen in a years time, and chances are they will have moved on, where as I haven't. I mean, it would be okay if they were just my side friends, but these are my FRIENDS.
I mean, I love them to death. We almost broke out in tears (not the guy though, he wasn't there to see). They actually understand me.
Everything about me, they understand. I understand them too.

I think this is where my being mature does NOT come in handy.
I try to push myself saying "It doesn't matter, you cant do anything to stop it" but..I find myself tearing up the harder I tell myself that.

I feel like a child. A very small child. I just feel small in general.
I don't like this feeling at all.

What should I do?
What CAN I do?

First of all, you won't see them in a year. You will see them again, everyday, in three months.

Secondly, if you guys are truely friends, then you'll see each other a ton during the summer. Even if you don't physically see each other, you can still stay close. I have a friend who lives in another part of the US, but I still consider her one of my bestest friends.

Don't worry hubby, everything will be fine.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

I do hope so.

Actually *blushes* It really is a year.
I hang out with 8th graders, but Im a sevvie still. So I am still stuck at middle school, wile they go off to highschool.

Thanks bridey(?)

You're graduating 7th grade. You are a small child.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

You're graduating 7th grade. You are a small child.

Thanks?

 

[DisIm]

Thanks?

Well, I just hate it when little kids are like, "I'm SO NOT A LITTLE KID"...

Besides, the way you feel is nothing to be ashamed of at any age. That goes for all feelings.

 

[Packfan25]

our elementary school has k-6th grade instead of k-5. So technically, you would still be with your friends here becase middle is 7-9. Its dumb because we only get 3 years in high school instead of 4.

I am small not for my age, but my brain...its quite different.

Yeah, I agree my age, its 'little' but most people here, seemed to have at least once made the assumption I was their age.

I cant describe my maturity.
Its not like "I have a boyfriend Im seww cool omgzx" Its more of a "Well, I was doing crossword puzzles listening to Queen one day...and-"

Im little.
In many ways I'm not.

You're graduating 7th grade. You are a small child.

A young child, IMHO, is a 4th/5th grader. Once you're in middle school you're not a small child.

I know how that feels, Mouse. I'm gonna cry at graduation-probably. My "friends" won't invite me to anything over the summer.

Don't count me out of that grouping - I thought you were around 16.

You are very mature Actually sort of like me, but dramatically more so.

Hope you don't wind up too detached from your friends.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

Yeah, I mean we COULD do something, but the odds are slim.

Plus, its just weird.
His family is..there, and my family is there.
Her family i havnt even met yet
My family...has heard of her name billions of times, seen her face once, but that was only because we went to the movies.

The odds of us ever hanging out again are really slim, and It makes me utterly depressed moooo

I know how that feels, Mouse. My parents have heard of like..around 5 of my friend's names? And they're only seen..what? One? The rest are too busy doing other stuff. I'm always the person on the bottom of the list of "friends" if there was a list of favorite friends.

What a sad situation... and there's nobody in 7th grade to hang out with?

Like a lot of others have said, if you are meant to be friends with them for the rest of your days, you will be. If it wasn't meant to be - it just wasn't meant to be.

In 8th Grade your like, 13/14 right? (I'm not sure wether the schooling system is different.), in the "7th grade"(Or whatever, I was 12/13 Lol) I went through hell because I fell out with my "So-called-true friends" and stuff, and I didn't really make alot of new friends straight away because I was convinced I lost these amazing friends. But then when I turned 13/14, I met some amazing people and I have more friends now than I did then. If I was still friends with the losers that I originally befriended, I wouldn't know the half the people I know now. And the period that was hard and where I felt really lonely, hasn't affected me now, I barely remember it. At the time it felt awful, probably because of all the teenage hormonal garbage

Sometimes these things work out for the best! You'll be fine.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

I know it sounds like "But...they are my friends!"

I kinda..worked things out, and its happened to me before.
These ARE the friends I met AFTERwards.

You know what I mean?
I talked to "the girl"today about it, she said she would call me often.

Which is true.
She doesnt lie.
At all.

She also said that shes free more now that schools gonna end soon, so we could have a sleepover sometime.

That made me feel a little better.

Plus I realized :

The guys family.. I know his entire family. Next year, instead of rooting for his family members, I will be rooting for him instead.



I dunno.
Maybe I can find a way to make it work.

Its still a sad thought though.
