Does Moving Really Mean Losing Friends ?
All is well in your neighbourhood, it always has been. Your buddies have always been there for you and you were always there for them. Chance has is, do to an idea of your parents, that is suppose to make it all better, the family has to move. Off course the first reaction from you would be how to keep in visual contact with all your friends. This is really bad news for you. The question is how bad.
Here are facts at hand:
1. There is no escaping it. You will probably be the last person who has the word in a situation like this. What has to happen will happen with or without your approval. The best thing you can do is to let it go and start thinking about the important things, like how to next proceed in order to save years of build up friendship.
2. Talk with each and every one of your friends about this and come to a conclusion on how to beat the distance. Telephones and Internet are a solution, when it comes to exchanging information, but these methods have a really big flaw: they can in no way replace a real conversation. With the now-existing live chat, it gets close to imitating it, but still a live, material person is missing, even though you see his image with a real time movement.
3. Instead of crying to your parents about it, make the effort of figuring out why exactly is this necessary. It is your right to disagree with them and it's certainly possible to have a profit from the situation. If they turn out to be right, help them out with carrying boxes down to the storage services in London. Your help will be appreciated, do not worry about this. If instead you still think they made wrong by choosing to move to another location, there is a little trick you can use.
4. The trick. Set an ultimatum. Trade your vote of approval for anything you can think of that is going to help you stay in touch with your friends. If impossible, make them do something else for you that can compensate your current loss.
About yourself, it's going to take time before you get used to the new place. Why not study new alternatives and see what can the new surroundings offer. After everything is put down, compliment your parents, that choosing to hire a man and a van in London was a very good idea and that it solved them tons of trouble. Now that all is said, no more words are necessary. Move on to thinking about yourself. Be resourceful and you will figure out a connection quickly.
So to the question “does moving really mean losing friends”, the answer is simple: it's all up to you. If you allow it, then yes. If you don't allow it, and you make use of the offerings of the new home area, then no, absolutely not. Even new friends will be made.

Really, I think it depends on the people themselves. On a more predictable level, people do lose their friendship over long absence and distance, yes. At least, that's what I know from experience :P
