I feel like i'm losing my best friend?
I'm a freshman in High school, going into sophomore year. I've lost a lot of friends this year. At first I said "okay" to myself because I know people will come and go out of your life but I've lost so many friends, I only have my best friend. But now, I think i'm losing her too. I feel like she's being pulled into peer pressure and experimenting. She said she wanted to hang out with the people who hate me and go smoking with them. She was also invited to a party by my former friend that I also lost And she was so excited and bragging about it. What i'm trying to say is that, my best friend is turning into someone I don't really know, which is a snobby, self centered, and shady person. And i'm pretty sure i'm gonna lose her soon and idk what to do because If I lose her I will be a loner and that's depressing. What should I do? But it is what it is. I guess it won't matter because it's summer break so I guess I can make friends with the freshmen next year? :(
Why am I losing interest in my friends?
I wouldn’t get too worried about it just yet. It is normal to mature and friendships do change as we get older. It’s possible that you’re just outgrowing your current friends and that’s completely ok. You are not the exact same person that you were 5 years ago, so it’s no surprise that your friends wouldn’t be the same from then to now. It’s probably a bit sad to think about when you’ve had a friend(s) for so long, but you can still maintain a friendship without being glued to the hip. And no one said you can’t make new friends! Maybe there are others out there that you’ll click better with. Have you noticed any other changes in your life? Have you lost pleasure in any other activities or hobbies? If you have noticed drastic changes in your mood or lack of motivation to do ANYTHING, then it is possible something more serious is going on. If that’s the case you may want to talk to your parents and consider seeing a professional. If you have additional questions or just need someone to talk with, feel free to give us a call.

Im losing/have lost all my friends?
Dear, you need to fix yourself before you try to fix your old friendships. You are obviously depressed, you said it yourself. Perhaps something has happened recently in your life that you find extremely difficult to cope with. Depression can be related to many factors. You need to see your doctor, and tell him that you are depressed. There are many good, mild anti-depressants on the market. I can recall periods in my life where anti-depressants brought me out of a deep funk: After the loss of a loved one, a beloved pet dying, or other family related issues that I just couldn't face without waking up in tears every day, going to sleep in tears every night. You need not take the meds permanently unless the doctor thinks you need to. I have taken Celexa and similar antidepressants for short periods of time (2-6 months) and weaned from them after I got my "grip" back. Sometimes friends can help pull you thru the hard times, too. It may be best if you can bring yourself to call up one of your old friends, explain what's going on, that you're depressed. Apologize for neglecting your friendships. Sometimes, just having a shoulder to cry on can help. True friends will help you past this difficult time in your life. Good luck to you, dear.
Im scared that my friend is losing too much weight?
maybe try talking to her. tell her that your glad shes trying to be healthy buy your worried. and just be sure to watch her and if you feel like its really out of hand tell someone. and i know your thinking "she'd hate me, she'd get mad" but if it gets to the point where you feel she needs professional help, then its better to help your friend and risk her being mad, then it is to watch her get dangerously thin.
What is the feeling of losing a best friend?
Love is not painful, but the unfulfilled expectations when you become too much attached and the pain that it creates is sometimes unbearable. It is painful especially if your feelings are genuine and you love her to the truest of your senses.It kills you everyday to realize that she isn’t with you anymore. But the thing about love is, it is always unconditional. You love her because you want to, not because you want her to love you back. That's what love is all about. Just be true to your feelings and carry on with your life.Getting over someone you love truly is an extremely difficult task. Someday your heart will learn to live with it. It may not completely move on, but it will try to heal and live with it. The problem is to just silence the mind.I lost her not because I cared less, but because I still love her way too much.I lost her because my love strangled her.I cut myself off from her life because I couldn’t see her sad/guilty.I moved away because I still love her when she doesn’t have any feelings.I regret ending the friendship, but if that is what makes her happy, then I am happy to give that to her.
My friend is mad at me for losing my virginity?
ok first of all, i agree with your friend on some parts. I do believe that you should save your virginity for someone you love.. but your 18 for gods sake.. lol. Its OKAY... Its not like he was just a player and you were getting it over with. I lost mine when i was 15 to a guy i had been with for a year.. but he ended up cheating on me about 4 months later. cheating on me ALOT. i really regret losing it to him because the guy im with now is absolutely amazing.. But he's been with alot of girls so i really dont think it would have been that special for him.. Anywase... your virginity is NOT something to play around with... Protect it. Dont do it with some random drunk guy at a frat party just because you feel like it.. let it at least mean something. At least do it with a nice guy.. not a player. With that being said, this is what i support your friend on. i do not support the fact that she is being a total ***** to you. I mean, she's your friend. You guys are adults... Not little kids. its your life, not hers. Yeah i can see her giving you advice and explaining what i just said (calmly), but ultimately she is your friend and should not be treating you like that. Its ridiculous.. My friends would never do that. I think for now you should just leave her alone on her trip, but when she gets back, sit her down and say 'look. I love you to death, but what you did to me about the thing with *insert name of guy here* was completely uncalled for. Your my best friend.. You are supposed to stand by me no matter what. Be honest, you can tell me what you think (her views listed above), but in a calm manner.' Ask her to apologize, and apologize also. But if she still gives you trouble.. just ignore her. Its not worth you feeling put down for.. obviously shes not a real friend. But anywase... hope i helped and good luck with everything!
I feel like I'm losing interest in my best friend. What do I do?
This is not a happy time. However, I have had to change friends several times in my life as I changed. As I became a better person I did not fit in with my old friends. I found new ones and new interests as painting, writing, etc. I lost my life long friend from high school recently. It was sad because we had 50 years of history. However, we have different values today and she pulled out. Some people are here for a day, a season, or longer, but they always change at the right times.
I'm losing my best friend to religion. What do I do here?
I am a 22 year old male, and I have a friend who is my age, and I have known him since high school days, as early as 14. In the past year I didn't speak to him much because I've been so busy with studying and work Ect, but I managed to catch up with him recently. But he has totally changed. His personality is different and not fun to be around anymore. He has become obsessed with Christianity, evangelism to be exact. He never stops talking about Jesus and constently mocking science and denying evolution and denying the age of the earth Ect. It's really irritating. He has lost his sense of humour, and if I swear around him, I can see it bothers him :S it's very strange. It makes me sad because it's like I've lost my friend, Has anyone else experienced losing a friend to religion?
