Answer 1

Make sure you guys talk everyday and just keep in touch with each other. Maybe you guys can visit each other during school vacation.

Answer 2

The same exact thing happened to me last year. I felt like this was my first REAL best friend, and i felt like i was betraying her by moving. However, if this girl is really your best friend, then distance is only a small obstacle in your friendship. Think of moving away as a "test" for your friendship. Make sure to let your friend know that she will always be your best friend, and encourage visits. Make a movie of each other before you move, so that you can always watch it when you miss each other. Also, make a special ritual (e.g always wear pink on fridays, watch a certain movie at the same time, etc.) that will keep both of you close.

Look, i cant help it that im sad your leaving! weve just started getting close. yeah, it might only be 40 minutes away, but it hurts me. i sry every night thinking about how my life will be. you mean alot to me and our friendship means alot to me. i will cry, i will be sad and depressed, but i want you to be happy. wherever you are, just know you will never leave my heart. ily periwinkle!!

you wont be at school and we wont be able to have our long phone conversations. but trust me, i will make you come over and i will visit you randomly with a suit case and a need of a house to stay at :)

just, dont forget me. dont let replace me with someone else. dont forget me. because i for sure wont.

Answer 4

I was in the same position a couple of months ago. Talk to her get phone numbers and email addresses exchanged and keep in contact. My Bestie moved to China and i am Australia she to was my first real best friend but we are arranging for me to go visit her for like a month.

Answer 5

Hey that happened to me.  When I was 13, I chose to leave my mom's house and move into my dad's house.  It was good for me, but it meant leaving my best friend.  Now, 5 years later, we have had our bouts of growing apart, but we know that we can always depend on each other.

Just talk to her.  Plan to talk on the phone and e-mail and maybe write letters.  If you both make a genuine effort, the space between won't separate you guys.

Again, though, you have to make a good, genuine effort.
