Moving Away

Dear Amanda,
I'm moving away from Stamford to Los Angeles. I will miss my old home, I just know it. I will especially miss my best friend, Sheila. What can I do to handle this feelings?
Janine, 12, Stamford

Dear Janine, 
Moving away is not always easy, I know that.  And I know that you will miss your best friend. But do you know what a new place means? A new life! You can change over yourself, just like giving yourself a makeover. For example in your old place you like to wear braids. Now you can cut your hair, and grow out your bangs, or add curls! And you're usually pretty lazy, now you can start a new habit!
Remember that you can meet lots of new friends too. Be nice to them. Be HONEST. If you want to keep in touch with your old friend you ca e-mail her everyday, or write snail mails. 
Of course, it isn't going to be that easy, but if you have the spirit to do it, you CAN do it!

Parents' Divorce

Dear Amanda,
My parents just got a divorce and I went to live with Mom. However, I still miss my Dad terribly. I want to see my Dad again, but Mom doesn't let me. What should I do?!
Michelle, 10, Michigan

Dear Michelle, 
A lot of parents got a divorce. Don't worry, it's pretty normal. Mom doesn't let me visit your Dad? Try to spring out a discussion with her. Maybe she will let you of you talk reasonably with her. Try using the words "miss terribly" or "missing my Dad". Maybe she WILL let you. If she doesn't, just face it. You can't change it. And maybe it's for the best, even though you don't know it now.
