Yeh he isnt lie'ing its true. When you go collage you loose half of your mates from school by the second year of collage and you go to uni you loose half those. You tend to keep 1 to 4 of your high school friends as close friends by the time you go university. However at Uni you make shead loads of friends if your an extrovert, not so much as an introvert

 

My advice is to stick close and maintain friendships with your close friends simple as

Get ready for 2 years and 46 weeks of doing nothing.

 

The other six weeks are when it gets to finals time each semester and you realise you havn't done any work and have to do four months worth in a week.

 

Well, I'm taking a medical course so I'm hoping it'll be a little more exciting than that.

 

Also it means I'll have to somehow get the money to live in london for 5 years :P

Well, I'm well past college and 16, and I rarely see anyone I knew in my school days (and never anyone I actually went to school with).

 

I didn't make a conscious decision not to, but I went to College (locally) and made new friends there (a few of who I still keep in touch with) and then started work and socialised with my colleagues.

 

I guess when you're 16 life so far looks huge, but at 30, 16 seems so insignificant.

 

Still, no reason not to have a ball while you're 16! :)

 

Cheers.

No reason why you shouldnt keep your friends after school. about four generations of my familly have lived in the same town, and about one generation has gone thru my secondary school every decade, with me being the last until the 2010's when my cousins kids will go thru, (he's about 4 years old atm). All of them have people they have known since day one and are still friendly with, my 80 year old grandad, 50 year old dad, 30 year old cousin or 19 year old brother. IF you make effort, you wont loose contact with your mates. Simple. tho it mite be different in the states due to the size of the place

I went for a drink with an old school-friend only last week, and we had lots to chat about, so it's not all doom and gloom. Unfortunately, people sometimes put a space between you and them for various reasons but don't be horrible about it, just move on. Also, be willing to accept that people can, and do, change as they grow older. That guy you didn't get on with at school might turn out ok and if he wants to go out for a drink and catch up, give him (or her ;)) a chance.

 

I've had a lot of change going on recently, and it's impossible to try and keep in touch with everyone I've known or worked with, but I'm sure a few select faces will be darkening my door in the future :P

My last day of HS was today actually

My former baseball coach told us something similar.

Alot of people i will never see again....however one of my best friends is going to the same university as me, and the other i ont plan on losing contact with...h** he will probably be my best man should i ever get married.

 

But whatever, if your sentimental or not whatever happens happens its life, and time goes on you have to deal with the fact that currently everything is fnite and must inevtiably come to an end, so theres no reason to cry, or be depresse because there isnt a *** thing you can do about it so you have to deal with it, its life.

No reason WHY it'd be different in the US - Small town's are (if anything) more common there and further apart, leading to more people staying in the same town for their whole lives.

 

I've got a friend who has many friends from his school days (and even earlier), but he's always lived in the same town.

 

Cheers.

WHen I left primary school I went to a different school to all of my mates and then when I left secondary school to go to college my friends stayed at school. Its about 9 years later and I have messages from tons of them on Facebook after only having kept in touch with 3 throughout the last 9 years. You will see people in the future but times and people change and its no bad thing.I will talk to my school mates on the internet and occasional texts but its the ones I made while at Uni that I go out with every weekend and spend my time with. :D

Don't know about you guys, but I still see lots of my friends from primary, secondary, high school, and uni... It all depends on how you make an effort to keep in touch with them or not, its as simple as that... Make a get together, maybe once every month, or something like that... and now with friendster/facebook/multiply, its easy to keep track of your friends...

Just left yr 11, and its amazing how everyone just dissappears. Most of the faces i didnt really associate much with are off to work, but most of my friends are staying for 6th form or college. So that's nice. Would be a shame to see the rest of them go in a coupla years, some people more than others. U gotta at least try to stay in touch with them.

Yeah it sucks. I just finished up 11thgrade, and I'm actually taking drivers-ed over the summer too, and we talked about this not to long ago. The last year of High School as a senior will undoubtedly be awesome, but when reality hits, it hits hard. I actually just had to say goodbye to a couple of my good friends who were Seniors this week, cause they had to start getting ready to go away. it sucked cause I realized this is gonna be happening to me in less then a year :(

thwe truth about life is that your friends will be people who happen to be within yr social sphere. for eg, i had a very good friend who helped me a lot with my coming out and stuff. I consider her one of my best friends, we were even housemates. Then i got hooked on WoW and my social sphere shifted from the clubs in Soho to the online world of WoWers. I also moved and was in contact with her much less, then now that I've stopped WoW i've gotten a bit closer to her again.

 

I've also upped sticks and moved to UK and all the friends I've had in my home country, end up being less in touch with me because of the time diff. If I get the chance to we speak on msn once in awhile etc. Also I've had to shift my social circle more than once before for various reasons and has lost contact with people simply because I've stopped going to a place regularly or stopped going to an online forum or something.

 

Thats life for ya. but yes now with facebook, you have a better chance of staying in touch, but it also means that people u might not wish to hear from anymore might be able to find u again.

Most of the 'friends' you have in high school will turn out to be phony douchebags. You'll have a few real friends, and you'll know who they are. Trade email addresses and mobile numbers and you'll stay in contact.

 

Dump the rest. You don't need fake friends, and you'll make new, better ones in college. You're not going to be friendless unless you're an antisocial moron.

HaVoC speaks the truth. My best friend, the man who literally saved me from destroying myself, stole from me and my two other best friends about a month ago. My long time girl friend *fruitcage*ed me over for the "bigger" and "better" deal. So many people that you think are nice are in actuality using you for something, or keeping you as a friend till someone "better" comes along.

 

But loosing friends is very hard. I have developed a very tight circle of friends. Most of us have very different asperations but all wish to stay in contact. Im currently in the bay area of Southern California to see a friend that i havent seen in over three years.
