I hope not, i'm in year 9 my teacher which is 28, says his friends from high school are still his friends, after 9 years. They're now his best man and grooms man (or something) At his wedding. So yeah do you really just drift away from you friends after highschool? I know the whole grade, and everyone is good friends, i'd hate to break all those friendships. Even though we go to work we can still meet up like every weekend yeah? My dream would be like moving with 10 friends to the States getting a job and all buying houses on the same street, and be pals to the death...but i doubt that would happen, but dam...what a life that would be

I have tried to keep in touch with major friends from my high school days, but everyone has their seperate paths to walk. It's kind of hard when people move away and pursue their aspirations and goals. It just depends on how great of friends they were back then.

I don't see anybody from high school. Tried to keep in contact with my best friend from HS but he is way to busy for me.

It's not like it's impossible to make friends in the real world. You just spend more time with college friends or workmates than the people you went to school with. Eventually you just grow apart and they fall out of favour.

I have my 10 year reunion coming up (I'm old). My best friend in high school turned out to lie a lot and steal, so I lost touch with him. But something that amused me was, I still live near my old high school and I run into some people I remember from high school. I even worked with someone I went to school with, we weren't in the same click, but now we hang out. Weird how time changes people.

I cant tell you, I'm only in year 10. But I have lost touch with mates from primary school, even the ones I go to highschool with! But the friends I got now, I dunno. It's kind of different. We've been hanging for 3 years now. So I dont know. Hopefully I keep in touch with them after highschool. I'm pretty sure I will stay in touch with one of them whom I'm really great friends with, but the other 3 maybe not.

It was true for me because I grew up in a rural town and all of my friends went to different Universities after high school.

I still try to keep in touch with some people from high school but I only talk regularly to and hang out with two of them. One of them never went to my high school to begin with but we were friends during that time and the other is my ex gf who I dated for two years and goes to my University.

probably depends where you go. I recall, for instance, losing touch with people I thought of as great friends when I moved.

In life its natural to move away from friends and meet new ones. I still talk to a few friends from school every so often. Although those i talk to daily and often didn't go to my school. Its life.. if your really good friends you will remain good friends. As people get full time jobs and more serious relationships people don't see each other as often.. but that doesn't stop you being mates.

80% of the friends you have before college are your friends only because you have no choice but to see them every day for 5 years of school,and had no choice but to get to know them.

The internets is where you meet your only real friends.

The friends I have now arent that great so I probably will lose contact once I go to college. I dont mind it at all. I would rather us lose contact than keep in touch to be honest.

Yes, for the most part. Everyone goes their separate ways after they graduate, and if distance doesn't kill the relationship, obligations and independence more than likely will. Hell, my sister tells me she barely keeps in contact with any of her friends from college, and she was a social butterfly who majored in drama. I've run into people 12 years after my High School graduation, and while there is still chemistry, there are no commonalities. We're just two completely different people. I still do keep in contact with a few close friends from back then, but it's either because our families are long time friends or we have led a similar path in life and still hold the same values and such.

Usually the popular ones in highschool dont cope well with college at first because they arent used to just a small group of friends and being alone and independent. So I never really spent my time at high school by making lots of friends.

It depends what life throws at your guys. I mean if your friends move farther away to go to school or to get a job, the chances of you seeing them are that much lower. I mean there are all sorts of ways to keep in touch now these days, I mean you have e-mail and almost everyone has cell phones. So thats one way to look at it if your friends move away. I will be honest though as you grow older the tougher it is to keep in touch with people or get the time to hang out with them. I mean I am still friends with a lot of my buddies from high school but I don't see them often because of other obligations, but I do hang out with them time to time, and a lot of the people I knew moved away to different states. Thats why they say your high schools years are your best years.

Well more often than not i would think most people break contact seeing as people go to different uni's and jobs that make it hard to keep close contact,which pretty sums up my situation,so no not anymore,but hey you make new ones lol

I actually remember in yr 9 (uk) that i couldn't imagine not staying friends with some pupils even after school years,but it has happened and...well life goes on...

What friends?

Seriously though, I had a couple good friends in high school that I hung out with once we graduated. Unfortunately, it got to the point where I felt like I had to grow up and couldn't do the drinking every weekend and getting thrown out of stores. We kind of grew apart after that. I ended up getting married and last I heard they were getting arrested for being drunk in public and supplying alcohol to minors.

Not "forget," just stop seeing. And it is usually true. You tend to lose contact with most of them because everyone goes their separate ways and the only way you can continue contact is if you force it. You probably won't ever "forget" them.
