I'm not friends with all of my friends that I had in high school but there are several of them that I still talk to on a daily to every other day basis even though I have been living over 2,000 miles away from them and where I grew up for over two years now. My best friend and I talk at least every day actually but then we have been friends since we were 4 years old so I imagine we will be good friends regardless of how old we are or where we live. I also have several guys that I have been friends with since I was about 14 or 15 that I still talk to several times a week. There are others that I see when I come home every 6 months or so but I don't talk to them at all otherwise. Its always nice to see them though and see what they have been up to. We have all gone our different directions but I really believe it is up to the people involved whether or not they wanna keep up those connections later on. Don't expect them to stay the same at all, they never do, but sometimes the altered version is great also.

I would like some advice then. I've been talking to a friend who has jus finished 10th grade from school. She says that she already has her future planned out and says that she would always have her friends forever. I had told her that she maybe in for a big suprise after high school. They all plan to live in a house and then go to college she said. She was having a hard time listening to my advice when I told her about this. I would also bet bucks that things will change as well for them in the future. Why do you think a lot of people say that they will never lose their friends after high school and find out that they do eventually lose them?

People have to find out for themselves what is going to happen. To be entirely honest, I have a lot of friends from back home that did stay close and a couple of them did end up rooming together in college. Others just kinda went their own way. Like I said, I don't live even remotely near any of my friends but I still tlak to some of them very often and see others on occassion. Let your friend think what she wants to think. Personally, I LOVE dreaming and thinking and planning for the future. As I've gotten older, I've realized that this is always subject to change but some of them do come out the way I want them to also. My advice is to leave your friend alone about this and let her think whatever she wants to. What is it going to hurt her? We both know that it probably won't happen and she will probably decide on something else before then, or maybe after she does it and finds out it isn't what she hoped. But what is it hurting to let her think about it now? Most likely the idea makes her happy. If you keep trying to convince her of why it isn't going to work you are just going to make her miserable and pessamistic about her future. Let the poor girl dream! Its certainly not going to hurt you and I don't see how it is going to hurt her either except for possible disappointment and learning that is inevitable and beneficial in life. These dreams and plans aren't necessarily just about her future but it most likely is strengthening the bonds that she has with these friends now. As far as I am concerned, this is incredibly healthy and beneficial for her to be hoping for this.

I had three friends since the third grade of elementary school. I still talk to those same three friends daily. After high school: one friend went to a school 2 hours away, the other two friends went to a school 45 minutes away, and I went to a community college. Now: the one that went to the school 2 hours away is in Georgia, but is going to go to the community college I went to; one of the ones that went to the school that is 45 minutes away is now attending the community college I went to; and me and the other friend are at the school that is 45 minutes away. We all keep in touch with each other by hanging out with each other when we can, calling, and emailing each other. It does not matter what direction you take in life, real friends will always be there for you.

I just finished my freshman year in college and I am probably still friends with only a few people. Only the people I truly like. In high school I would hang out a lot with people I didn't like if I was around them too much, or just people I was SORT of friendly with, those people I don't talk to anymore. My core friends I still hang out with a lot. I proably have about 4 or 5 friends that I still talk to and we all went to different sides of the country when graduation came around. If you are good friends with somebody, you'll stay friends with them, if you are just sort of friendly with them, odds are you won't. You do have to take extra effort.

I will be graduating in may 2006 from college and I dont really speak to many people that I went to high school with. I think out of all my friends in high school I only talk to like 2 of them. I found that most of the relationships I had with people then were very shallow and fake, it gets better in college.

I couldn't agree more.

I graduated in 2003 and moved around and stuff afterwards. Now I live about four hours away and I'm still friends with a few people from back home. Some of them I just talk to when I visit which is rare, but others I talk to on the phone. Not everyday, but quite often. I would say I am still friends with like five people, but two of them are kind of slipping away. I went on a cruise with three other friends (out of the five) and two of them I went with are just sooooo annoying to me now. They act like complete dorks and I can't see how we were ever friends. The other friend of mine that went agreed with me on that but we still talk to them just because of old times I guess. I don't know how much longer I will be friends with all of them, but I would think some of them may be friends forever. Also, I did call them a lot which is probably why we are still friends. I think it just takes communication in situations like that.
