Dear Friend-less,
I can imagine that you must be feeling lonely, sad, frustrated and helpless right now. Establishing friendships is important for our confidence, the development of our identity as well as providing us with a sense of belonging and security in the world. However, it is a fact of life that people grow and change over time. Similarly, friendships change. That is, as we grow older, we change and we establish new friendship groups accordingly. Although change in friendships, and the associated feelings of social isolation can be a little daunting and unsettling initially, it can actually make us more emotionally in tune with ourselves as well as more resilient. I suggest that you try to focus on the positives of the situation in which you currently find yourself. For instance, you can take advantage of your situation by learning a lot not only about others but also yourself. You can learn what your personal interests, values, ideals, and aspirations are in life. I suggest that you try talking openly to your old friends about the way you are feeling. It is definitely worth a go! You should also look into the possibility of joining a social club (eg sporting club), or meeting new friends via the internet or through similar-aged family members. Whatever the situation, you must be prepared to compromise as well accept new challenges and possibilities. In the case of establishing new friendships, be patient. New friendships require time to develop. Don't expect that you will magically integrate within all the friendship groups or pairs you encounter. You need time to develop their trust, the foundation of a strong friendship. Power to you, GirlFRIEND!

Dear Girl,
I'm having trouble with my friends. I'm pretty much a Tomboy and my friends used to be like that too but now if I do something like say Want to play cricket? or suggest we do something we used to do, they just look at me like I've gone mad. Now I feel out of place and when I try and make other friends or go try and hang out with other people, I look around and everyone seems to have split off into groups and pairs. What should I do?
Signed Friend-less.
