Believe me my friend -- the world isn't going to end if your friend doesn't text you back within 10 miinutes. What if he/she has something to do and just doesn't have time? Everyone is busy these days, and texting isn't' tops on the list. You can't expect your friend to be able to text the minute you text her/him.

You need to find something else to do besides texting. That's become kind of an addiction to you I think. LOL Why not read a book, or surf the web, or do some crosswords, or anything else. But don't just sit there waiting for a test!

Take care of yourself, and put your phone down for awhile ok? God bless. Hugs, Lee

I agree with Leed in that its not healthy to become too involved in your friends business and get concerned when they can't always get back to you quickly. People have their own lives to deal with and sometimes frequent messaging isn't possible. If they are experiencing difficulties like suicidal ideation let them know you are there to support them and discuss things should they wish - maybe send them some links or some numbers for a crisis line but other than that let them come to you. After you're not a professional, its down to this person to decide how to proceed in regards to their mental health. Im sure they're greatful just to have you there to listen and offer advice when you can. In the meantime i would focus on your studies and other stuff you enjoy. Hope ive been helpful teebs, see you around on chat ok?

Although it's great to have a very close friend, it may not be a bad idea to make a few new friends as well. We all like to be around people who make us feel good and that we think are fun to be around.

I wouldn't take it too personally if your friend doesn't get back to you right away. There are literally thousands of things that could be going on in a person's life. Some of those things could be very serious and important. It's possible that responding to a text or phone call is not at the top of their list of what they absolutely need to do in their life at that moment.
