Hi,
ok, i only have one friend now as my other friend had moved. The only friend i had last year had moved to another school this year so i am alone. Then, i have decided to make new friends as i really hate to be alone. and i did make new friends. Eventually, i have realized that we have not much in common. she likes science, maths, doesnt watch a lot of movies, dosent listen to music besides the classics. the thing is i am the total opposite, i love music, a day without music is like crap to me, and i love drawing, arts subject basically. last week, she told me she is changing school, and i was like SCORE!awesome, that means i get to make new friends next year.. by the way, she told me yesterday that she doesnt want to leave because she is having fun here, and i felt sad because i was hoping she would.. I do regret for hanging out with her because i am bored being her friend,she talks about stuff that i dont find interesting at all.... and of course, i do wanna make new friends... there's this group of people who i wanna be friends with, however my friend used to hang out with them so it would be really awkward if i ditch my friend and hang out with that group... Is it normal to feel happy when your friend tells you she is changing school? Please help me, how can i tell my friend she is boring me and that i want to hang out in a different group?

    I have a best friend since I was in first grade, we live 30 miles apart from each other. We always used have fun together, but in last few years, I went outside often to make new friends. Now I know some of close friends that I don't have much time to see every one of them, but once in a while when they see me again, they were always happy. I still talk with my best friends about everything online, we hang out once a month for about 3 days and play video game all night. I would never ditch him, he's one of few people I want keep on in touch with for my life. That's my story, so I advice you to make sure she is cool with that so you can develop your own lifestyle. She'll remember all the time she spend with you, and she will be excited to see you.

    I'm sure that you will get lonely again and start to miss her if she went to another school.

    you shouldn't be so rude about your friend
    people are different, and just because she may not enjoy all the same things you do does not make her "boring". To other people, she might be interesting.
    she was your friend when you didn't have any, and I think you should be grateful for that.
    Try to talk to her about things that interest both of you. You must share some common ground.
    If you still find yourself "bored", just try to spend a bit less time together. don't do anything cruel.
    as for the group that you want to be a part of, you can't force things like friendship. Say hi to them in classes and see what they're like. They may not be all that great.

      thanks for replying, i appriciate. i wasn't trying to be rude. i know that everyone is different in an amazing way, maybe i shouldn't have said she was boring and such. well, honestly, besides watching 2 same tv programmes, we have nothing in common really. like she's the opposite, i konw people say opposite attracts, but in this case it doesnt work out. thanks for reminding me to be grateful to having her as my friend, i do feel thankful for that, if it wasnt for her, i would be all alone. i have spoken to everyone in that group in classes before and i have an idea how they are like, they do have something in common, seriously. And i hang out wth them whenever my friend is not here, so yea.... i'm not gonna do anything cruel to my friend, i just wanna advice on how to tell her that i dont wanna hang out wth her anymore but we still can be friends in the nicest way possible, i know how it feels to be "abandoned", so yea... im srry if i sounded rude to u....

        it would be mean to ditch her! she was there for you when you had no friends and then your gunna go and chuck her out when you find some new friends? thats just spiteful! maybe you should both join that other friendship group. and then she might make friends with someone else in the group. then your all happy
