Relationships

Hey 💐 That’s such a hard feeling – seeing your friends all going to one place while you’re headed somewhere else can feel really unfair.

But going to a different school doesn't mean the end of your friendships or the start of a bad experience.

👉 You can still stay close with your old friends – even meeting up after school, calling, or chatting online can help you keep those bonds strong

👉 And at your new school, you'll get the chance to meet people who might share new things with you – interests, ideas, or just a different kind of energy

👉 You don’t have to love it straight away so give yourself time to settle in and figure things out

This might not be the plan you wanted, but it can still turn out to be something really good 💫

Sending you lots of positive vibes for the new start 🦋
