writes:Hello again peoples,I'm finding it difficult to confide in anyone at this point in my life because I'm afraid I'm going to regret it, like I regret most things I do.I live in South-east england, it's quite busy, always something happening, quite busy, quite a lot of crime.Now, my mum has tried convincing me for the last two or so years to move with her and my siblings to the South-west, which is a good distance away from here, and I always refused because I was convinced that this was my home but now I'm not quite sure.I can't deal with everything anymore, there's too many people and too many memories about the place. Also, I don't have many friends, and the ones I have (apart from one) I no longer have faith in, because I'm always pushed out and made to feel like an outsider and unwelcome.Thus, I have decided that I want to move to the other side of the country once I am finished with my college course. Though there is flaws in this, I don't know how to tell my friends, because my best friend (well, I've lost faith in my friendship with him) and I have been talking about the summer for the last few months.I'm finding it hard to even concentrate at college, my depression is back and my social anxiety is getting worse.So my question is this - How should I tell my friends that I'm moving away and will probably not see them for a long time?I will deeply appreciate ANYONE who answers because I've realized that I have wrote quite an amount of words. Thank you, NinetiesKid.

You'll most likely click better with the friends in the South West area of the country, and your siblings will be there anyway, to be around. Don't let significant change seem like big change, since it isn't. Starting over in a new area and happening apon new friends is healthy change, when times are stale or rough, so go for it and love it! You'll feel freed, and your anxiety will diminish with the old, negative atmoshere you experienced in South East side. When you feel really comfortable in one area, it doesn't mean the atmoshere is a good one, just because you're content there with your best friend and your town.

 Friends come and go and it is inevitable . You will make new friends and old friends will fade away.
Just tell them that your family has decided to move to another location and you can still contact each other by e-mail,FB etc.
