writes:I am a little confused. What is supposed to be my reaction to a teacher saying that there "wont be anyone like you where I'll be going" and "I wish you could come with me to _____" or "I wish I didnt have to leave you" ???? I mean, this teacher is the one person who is my favorite and has been for 4 years... I think I've spent the most time with him and he's almost been like my best friend. I totally understand that maybe I shouldn't have placed him in that sort of position in my life but I love him dearly (in a best friend kinda way). I feel like Im going to lose a piece of me and when he says those kinds of things to me, it is so hard not to burst into tears or beg him to stay. He will be teaching for at least a year ( 2 if they feel that he's good for the job) in South America and I know its relatively a short time but I will be leaving for university soon. I just wish I had better closure before we parted ways for good. I honestly feel a little blue on the inside and Im thankful for this website since I would not be able to vent to my friends about this without it seeming innapropriate or whatever. So my question, I guess, would be: How do I achieve a sense of closure? Without, you know, wanting to die :P

 Off course it is hard, you have developed a friendship with him and now he is leaving. So off course you are going to be sad. But I guess this happens in life all the time, great friendships are made but then broke because someone moves away. It will be hard and am sure you will miss him, but you just need to accept that it was never appropriate to have such a lose friendship with him in the first place. Just give yourself sometime and it will heal itself. Hang out with your other friends and keep yourself busy. Once you start university and move forward with your life you will see that gradually you will be moving on and thinking about this friendship less. It is all part of life, moving forward and moving in to different phases of life.
