btw im 17..

i feel like crying all the time now and i do want a best friend since the only one really is my sister

Answer 1

cry. sounds like the last thing to do, but just let it all out. go out one morning around sunrise for a jog. that is probably the most relaxing thing there is. go to a park and sit there for a while, but take a sweater so your not cold. i never cry. the last time i cried was almost two years ago, and its bad because i keep all those feelings inside. i end up fighting to help me deal with my emotions. don't do that to yourself. just cry one day. after that all the pieces will fall back into place  

Answer 2

Hey, it's ok to miss your family, but don't get depressed about it. They're only a plane ride or a phone call away! You can do video chats or msn if they have computers too. And bestfriends will come and go throughout your lifetime so appreciate the ones that you've had. Stay in touch even if you aren't as close anymore. Facebook is great for that. If you're 17 then you have many years ahead of you to meet new people and even a new best friend! Go out there and socialize with people from school or other places!
