Most of these probably contributed to why I had a hard time making friends later on.

• Amanda - moved away
• Amy L. - moved away
• Amy M. - her family was in the business of flipping houses for a living so they moved away in less than a year
• Billy - moved out of state
• Bobby - moved away
• Danielle - friend from 2nd grade, moved away
• Jamie - was a lot older than me, so would have eventually turned creepy for a teenage boy to hang out with a little girl
• Levi - Billy's cousin, when Billy moved away I never saw him again
• Mike - same situation as Jamie
• Paula - stopped being friends with her when she stole some things of mine
• Renee - my Mom's friend's daughter from a strict Catholic family, we went to dance class and saw movies together, her Mom forbid her to see me when my Mom got a divorce, it's sad that religion has to get in the way of a friendship
• Robert - my first crush from 4th/5th grade, moved away
• Trina - she started openly talking about sex and stuff (puberty hit) and her Mom said I couldn't be friends with her anymore because she thought I was a bad influence on her... our friendship dissolved after that because her Mom wanted to be her kid's only best friend... several years later her Mom slept with her 17-year-old boyfriend (who was the bad influence?)
