My friends parents are considering moving away and I don't think they have internet and we won't be able to see each other. We are doing a petition with everyone we know and It'd really help if some of you guys could just say you'd sign it. Thank you

Maybe it's for the best? The parents may have a solid reason for wanting to move - maybe they want their children to see more of the world or experience life in a new city or state. Holding your friend back might have a negative effect, it's probably best to support him/her and cherish the time you have left. They might not even move since you said they're considering it.

My friend doesn't want to move either. It's just the parents that want to.

Moving for a child sucks (believe me, I know) but >>3 is right, there can be reasons for the move. Moving helps a child develop, morally (to an extent), there understanding of the world, socially. I know some people who were lucky enough to stay in the same place for most of their life but got so much to learn about the world (I kid you not, one of them did not know the name of a popular town 15 minutes away from them).

For me after turning 8, my family moved houses once every year or twice every year. It's normal if your friend is feeling sad, when you get attached to something it's hard to let go. But that detachment is what children need to learn, not to stay attached to materialistic things.

I know how you feel, My friend moved but she had a good reason for it... her family was getting bigger. Her mom had a baby and she needed to move since the house she was at was too small. So ill say that i signed the petition. :)

A petition from local friends might help you. That's too cute and that demonstrates that you have a reason to stay in situ.

But beware, what you're doing is hazardous, you're showing his patents that you can be friends over the Internet as you do in real life.

Instead of asking us to sign the petition, ask to schoolmates and people from your neighbourhood IMO :)

I'll take your advice. Thanks guys.
