I don't know what to do. My mom's got a chance at buying a house in a neighboring town near me, and for the moment, it's open. the only problem is, I'd have to move to a totally new town, and make new friends. I've never done this. I'm already horrible at talking to my friends, let alone making new ones. And that ain't the end. We're getting waves of evacuees from Louisiana and Mississippi, and since they're coming, mom's not sure the welfare guys will keep their end of the deal or bunk us back down the list.(If they do, we can't get the house) If we don't take this house while we can, we can't move for a year. If we do, I might just jump off a cliff. any advice?

I empathise with your situation first of all, *Hugs* when I first moved a couple of years ago from Little rock Arkansas to Mustang Oklahoma it was very tough, we moved from a house to an apartment, I said goodbye to everything I knew for twenty years and moved... Now I live in a very small town where the biggest thing is a wal-mart, and I have one single friend in my real life, and he is Sixteen and I am 22 -_- so I feel really inept because he is better then me at everything already XD
But, my advise to you, don't lose contact with your friends at home, first of all, at first it is hard, but you get used to it, and believe me, I know pain emotionally, going from having places to go, to living the life of a housecat is no picnic either, I leave my house maybe once or twice a week at best, or worst, every other week... So make sure you have places to go, people to see, but above all, don't be shy to talk, That is the key to making friends, start a conversation with people you don't know, people your age that you meet, observe people who seem to dress the same way you do, or if you are in a store, looking at the same products, like music, etc... Talking is easy, but don't rant, if you spent most of your life talking to yourself you could be in for some difficulty (Guilty of that one myself)
Be sure to listen to what people have to say, and care about what they are feeling... This should help you gain more friends, unless you are cursed like myself, as these methods have worked for many people, but when I use them I have been slapped, punched and people have spat in my face, but that is just me ^_^;;
For your other problem I don't know how to advise you, as I don't know much about that sort of thing, all I have to offer is this, I am sorry I have nothing more to offer *Hugs again*

huh, I think you're the 2nd person I know (not counting me) that lived in Arkansas. weird. ah, well, I got to finally see the house, and It's better looking than my apartment, so.... for now I'm kinda going with it. (Though I still think it smells weird... but that could just be me) Oh, and before I forget: *gives bear hug*

*bear hugs back* No one out bear hugs me!! I found something else to dislike. Since we're packing everything, my mother has been kicking up alot of dirt,dust, and animal dander, making me feel rather miserable. I hate allergies.

[On Behalf of Mercury's Lil Sister, who cannot reach a computer at the moment without using SSM's] If you think moving town was hard, try moving to a totally new country where you couldn't speak any English whatsoever. I was born in Italy, and then moved to Australia with SSM when I was nine. Luckily, SSM was a pro at English and Italian, so she translated things for me, and even helped me learn English. I admit that I'm still not very confident with my English, and the only reason that the sentences are actually linking together is because my sister is correcting me as I dictate to her.
[SSM] Yep yep yep.... I helped her ^^ [/SSM]
[Mercury's Lil Sister] I understand how you feel, but at least you don't have to learnt o speak a completley foreign language every time you move.

I moved from a town I lived in for 18 & 11/12 of my life to a my dad's old town about a 1/2 hour away from my hometown. My parents wanted to move previous to this recent move, but I would always threaten suicide or something, just so I could stay in the same town as my friends. Now that we've moved, I don't really have friends in my new town (I know no one & the people I've seen are in high school or younger...I'm a collegiate), but my friends from my hometown still see me. They sometimes come to my house & other times we meet at a bowling alley that's like 1/2 way between the two towns. It really isn't all too bad; you get used to it.
The only other major move I made was moving to college. I'm a pretty shy person, too, so my 1st of college sucked like nothing else, but then 2nd semester, I started to really make some friends, so it turned out well! I'm sure you'll eventually make friends.
If you wanna talk to someone that's moved around a lot, ask Hawk about that, although, I guess it's similar to SSM & Merc's lil' sis.  |

Yeah, it is tough trying ot make friends and everything in a new place, I have been to 4 different schools and have moved 10 times(we like to change senery(sp??) once in awhile)and I am only 15(2 more months!!). It is tough, for me, I just stopped making friends, I am pretty much a loner. But, i'm not saying you should be, some people make friends easier than others. I'm sure you'll do fine in a new neighborhood.

Ok, I know we aren't suppose to double post and such, but I kinda need too ask a question. Now, is the person that's leaving suppose to buy a present for their friend, or is the friend suppose to buy the going away gift to the person that's leaving?
