Question: I need help? I was going to a regular school and had two best friends there. But I started homeschooling at 5th grade and we never kept in touch. Now I'm in 11th grade and I see my friends at church, but they never come up to me or anything. And when I try to talk to them my nerves get the best of me and I can't think of anything interesting to say, and I sound stupid when I do talk to them. Should I try to make new friends or should I try to be their friend again?  And if so, how do I?

Answer: That's really rough, I was in a similar situation in the 8th grade.  I had gone to public school and then switched to a Christian school.  It was hard cuz I left my best friends there, and I did lose touch with most of them.  I see a few of them once in a while now.  We talk cordially, but our lives went in completely different directions - I'm glad about that too, they're all 21-22 with kids.  I guess my best advice to you would be to be nice - say hi, be like - hey we should do something sometime and catch up.  Ya know, just play it cool like it doesnt' really matter either way.  Good luck!!!
