I dunno -- maybe discussion's over.. but from what I've seen and heard it seems like we all kind of overreacted. But when you mention something like 'cutting' .. u can imagine how that would override something like ... being sad about leaving. Cutting is a serious mental problem, and can lead to (or is a symptom of) severe depression -- which is a horrible and terrifying problem. This is from a strictly scientific view.. it affects people in different ways, but that's probably why peoples attention was drawn to it because it IS something serious. It's like... attending to a broken leg rather than a gash on your face even if the latter is actually causing you more pain -- you're automatically drawn to the more serious issue.
Sorry for the confusing metaphore.. lol ;)
But addressing to what is, clearly, the more important issue to you, moving is one of the more enriching experiences of life. I know.. I was also 11 when i moved from England to Canada (another big temperature change.. like Texas to England...) and boy, was that different. Have you ever been like "wow, i love your accent?" to british people -- it's like my life. Talk about annoying after awhile. And there's a different school system, different games even that you play at recess (which i didn't kno was recess by the way when i first got here.) different EVERYTHING. Anyways, more empathy, I also had a b/f at 11... but things didn't quite work out. We both took it a little immaturely... I was too young. But listen, when ur 11 or 111 a relationship is a relationship and ur lucky that you have one. So keep in touch with him, keep in touch with all your friends, but don't be afraid to branch out. It's not like your ditching your old friends - they want you to be happy where you are.
Please know that things will always get better.... your a beautiful person, inside and out, and that will help you later on in life. So please, please, don't cut yourself off now. Make friends, have fun, have a good time, keep in touch with your old friends, enjoy what kansas has to offer, relish in your memories of Missouri. You are so lucky! Even by moving so short a distance (yeah.. it is short... compared with an ocean) you have become a more enriched person - sharing in two cultures, having double the friends! Think of all the benefits of moving! You can come up with some I'm sure. Think about it - you have adapted to a different countryside, a different place, and it has made you stronger. You can go nowhere but UP!
Enjoy life.
