Ever think you need different friends?

Does anyone ever think that they need some different friends? At the moment that's exactly what I'm thinking.
I have loadsa friends and everything but only a few live nearby, the rest live a few miles out of town and I can't get there (I'm not old enough to drive and the bus doesn't go anywhere near their towns). But the friends who do live nearby either don't want to come out anymore or they're away at the moment. And to make things worse my mum and dad are constantly nagging at me telling me to go out more, but I'm hardly gonna go to the cinema on my own lol.
Anway I hope I'm not the only one who feels like this.

like i would want some closer, or to live closer to them or whatever
rather than them being different, the whole situation should be
that would probably be better <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">

Sick of catchin buses or asking for a lift off my parents. Can't wait till I can drive.
I can't just choose my friends by where they live though. We all go to school together, they just live in different towns/villages. It's not really the situations though, I guess we're all just growing apart.

Yeah thats my prob, most of my m8s do live a 10min car journey away but its not that which is the problem 4 me.
We've just all started drifting apart & stuff, funny thing is i'm not 2 bothered really. I mean there are a few m8s that i wish we were back 2 normal but most of my m8s i just don't care ne more.
Thats school m8s ne way. I have a lot more well 'better' i suppose is the word from outside of school that i hang out wit more but they are all a couple of yrs older then me.
I dunno why but i just seem 2 get on better wit ppl a few yrs older then me.
dont like to talk abuot it too much now tho coz people can read this board. <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/frown.gif">

I have 3 main and very different sets of friends...
Work, racing, and old time school day type friends.
I try not to mix em too much...Gives me a break from one set when things get ugly or they are not around...
It is funny when you step back and take a hard look at who you associate with...
you can really get a good look at who you are in a strange way...
I look at what interests me and the friends just follow....There are always others into your same hobbies, interests, etc...just gotta find em...
My racing buddies/group were located on the internet of all places....On a UBB just like this...Just a small local UBB, and it branched from there...
When you rely on any one set of freinds to entertain you, it always leads to downtime when they have other agendas...
Just get more friends that live close to you to go out with....
Just be wary of the commmon mistake of latching into a relationship to fill this void...That will kill a relationship in the long run...
On here it looks as though you have A LOT of friends... <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"> <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">
just my take on it...

Mabe a 1st annual thesite.org PICNIC or GTG is in order, to bring you guys & gals closer as a group...MMMMMmmmmmmm, that would be kool!
You should suggest a GTG(Get to-gether) forum so members on here can coordinate events, like movie, picnic, and outings together!
Wow, that was auctually a good idea...and from me at that... <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">

that is quite a good idea.... it was talked about a few months ago and we decided on august. but, since then, people seem to have split off the general "community" and we dont feel like one big group anymore. there's little tensions between various people and a meet might turn into a blood bath!
some people have met up with each other though and a few more plan to. more small groups or one on one than a big meet though. i think it would take a fair bit of organising now if we wanted to have one in august before people went back to school.. theres results to get round, various festivals, holidays, other commitments, etc.... not as easy as it looks unfortunately.
