I'm the same way, give em a call every once in awhile. end of story. In all reality, in 10 years will staying in touch with these people really matter... talk about stuff you did in high sschool at high school reunions.

wtf, how did my post get to the top?

Yep. I haven't talked to them ever since High School. But we were really good friends back then.

Please, I could care less about the people I went to HS with. They sucked then, and I am sure they do now. I skipped my five year reunion, and the 10th is next year. Will I go, more then likely not. The few people in my class I liked and respected have moved on with thier lives, and are not looking back, I think that is the right choice. Let the past be that, the past.

I just had my 20 year reunion last weekend. There were lots of people there that I hadn't seen or talked to since the 10 year reunion. BUT, I have about 5 or 6 friends from high school that I remaine very close with and see them, talk with them and visit with them on a regular basis.

Most of the people I went to high school I could care less about. But, there are 3 friends from High school that I still see and talk to regularly and I think it will be that way for a long time, because we were good friends in High school, and we are still good friends now (graduated in 1994). There is one person from high school that I kept in touch with for awhile afterwards, but over the past year we have grown apart because of a relationship she is in. Kinda sucks, because we were really good friends.

In the years since I graduated from high school I can count on one hand how many times I have visited my friends that I had from there. Of course working in the military and then living & working overseas did not help much either.
I maintain a friendship with only those people who can help me become a better as a person or in Life. Otherwise I severe ties and move on. Sounds cold blooded, but reality shows that there are those people who will build you up or tear you down. The key is knowing who is who.

I keep in touch with a couple of friends. At the most, they live an hour or two away from me, so i try to see them at least once or twice a year. Nothing spectacular, we definitely don't do the same things we use to do when we were younger (hanging out at hte poolhall or at a friend's house stoned), we just sit at a bar and have a couple of beers as we talk about our life. Don't do much reflections much, the past is the past.

I've got other friends i wish i could keep in touch with, but they all live thousands of miles away or across the world now. Kinda hard to keep that kind of friendship.

My best friends are from high school..Known them since jr. high and even one i've known since second grade.
Probably only kept in touch with 6 people that I would call my close friends.
Other than that, I haven't spoken to any other high school buddies in a long time.

I can only think of 2 friends from high school that I would be genuinely sad to lose touch with.

I never really talked to people even when I was in high school. :(

There are only about 2 or 3 people that I genuinely missed and I met them in college.

I'm still pretty tight with alotta the people i went to high school with. I can't think of one person that i really enjoyed the company of in high school that i don't still hang out with, ofcourse this is probably because i'm still in my first year of college... :eek:

To me, school friendships are "friendships of convenience" ... you are friends because you go to the same place every day... but once you no longer need to go there, you no longer keep in touch.... same with friends at work.

No loss. I didnt like too many people i went to school with. There were a couple of cute girls tho... damn!

Don't talk to any of em anymore because really after going to university high school seems so unimportant. In fact other than a few friends I still have from university I don't speak to them either. What am I going to do; get together with them and talk about drinking days? :)

I agree with guyver - most friendships are friendships of convenience.

Hmmm, this is interesting. Since it seems most of us don't keep in touch with friends from college or high school where do our true lifelong friends come from? Right now, I would say I don't have any true friends. :(
