im so sad:(

Alot of my friends have been together since kindergarden...like in the same class (we had to be there was only one french immersion class:P) we've been together for nine years, but this will be our last year together, then we all split up and go to high school...im so upset:( its so hard to leave your best friends after 9 years together...i just wanted to get that out

Yeah, that happened to many people in my school last year(not me because in my last year I found out I only had one real friend :P)
But try and get time at weekends to just hang out and talk about high school.
Try make all your perants let yas have sleepovers once a month or something, try keep in touch but also ,make new friends :D

I know how ya feel, soo many of my friends left to go to a diffi high school. But iz all good cuz u meet soo many new ppl anf get a whole new set of friends. Also if u've been friends wit em for soo long u won't stop talkin to em. U can always talk online and fo over to each others houses. Just because u may be seperated by school doesn't mean ur friendship should end. Friendship stays 4eva girl if ya allow it, just gotta put a lil effort into it! =D

yeah it always is hard to lave your best friends this happen to me and my best frien dwhen we went to high school thought it migh tbe hard you will met new people and have new friends but if you can still hag out with them and talk to them about stuff. i hope it works out for you me and my best friend were not that luck we dont even talk no more.

its ok really...i switch friends every year and each year its harder and harder...but the group of friends i got now i have been with for 3 years and i dont know what i will do without them...we have another week till school starts but its still hard

you split up right before highschool? Canadians are weird. nah, just a little different. here in the states we kind of do the same thing. we all might go to the same Elementary School. K-5, or K-6, but then we split up for Middle School 6-8, or 7-8, also I've heard of one go 7-9, then we're back together for highschool. Of course, that's just the average, or what the average used to be. With military families, and people looking for new jobs every 5 years or so, nobody lives in the same town for long anymore.

I'd say I was somewhere in between these extremes. I was transfered alot due to my own mental disturbances...that's also apparently a pretty large minority in this country. Wee, America rocks!

I can't say I had anything like that. I've always been the outsider type.. Never had many friends. But I and many others know what it's like to lose. But remember that not everything's permanent. You have eachother's phone numbers and e-mail addresses, I assume, so it won't be like you are split for eternity, doomed never to see each other's faces again (right?). You can likely still see each other on weekends or during the holidays. No need to worry your little head over it, babe.
I really have to say that the school systems you've mentioned *pointing to the post above mine* are strange. My school grades when like this:
Elementary School: K - 5
Middle School: 6 - 8
High School: 9 - 12
(Then we're off to college for 2+ years, depending on our courses of study and our majors [I start tomorrow morning]).
Keep your head up, girl. Look on the bright side - new school, new people, new opportunity to make new friends and have new experiences. Each new place you go gives you that option. Choose it or lose it, it's your choice. Life is like an RPG game: Each road you choose now will determine which one's are still open later on. *hugs* Don't worry too much about it. Things will be just fine, if you let them.

Shojo, most people here do slipt for middle school, but in this case, we didnt its kind of a long story

To garett: thanks, that was sweet and im sorry you were an "outsider" but you have lots of friends on here right:)

my iends are falling apart as we go into 8th grade but new ones are forming, life changes we have to deal with it and get over it....i wont cry over it cause i know things change...
