Where you popular in High school? Did you have a lot of friends? Is your yearbook full os signatures? Now that school is over and you are living your life, how many friends do you still keep in touch with?

I had several friends and a lot of people new me, being a cheerleader. When I was in college, I stay in touch with several people. Now that I have been out of school fro eigth years, I keep in touch with 5 people. Four of them, I recently got reconnected with. The fifth we haven't lost contact since we left school.

A lot of those people meant a lot to me and still do. I just wonder why they get taken away.
 
after 29 years, 11 months and 14 days I'm expected me to remember that stuff?





Gawd!!! I'm happy just to remember my name most days,,,

Same here, after 20 years, I was hardly known then and don't care to be known by those sorry asses now.
When we had a 10 year reunion, the class brainies got together, planned it, organized it, and notified only who they wanted to see there, as oppose to advertising it on a radio station.
Well, that's all behind me now. Like 2000 miles behind me.

Wow, Fantasy. It looks like you opened a can of worms on this one. No worries though. If there is any place to work through things like this, it's here at Lit.

Like many people, I wasn't considered one of the "popular", but I keep in touch with a handful. For the most part, everyone went their separate ways. My only wish is to go to my 10 year reunion in a state of euphoria as I plan on being retired by then. Let's hope that I can keep my goals in focus, and then piss them all off. :)
 
Fairly popular I guess. Two of my best friends in the world were my friends in HS and still are. I still run in to lots of people I knew in High School (this burg only has about 60,000 people and back then only one HS).

Steven King once said something to the effect of "If you look back fondly on High School you are one messed up person"..... he would have been someone who my friends from back then would have picked on.lol

All in all I preferred university.
 
Hey fantasy
You never make friends as good as the ones you had in high school, unless maybe you are in the military or some other institutionalizing environment. My best friends were the ones I played football and basketball with. We saw a lot of good times, a lot of beer, and a lot of wind sprints. I keep in loose contact with four or five of them and meet with them three or four times a year. You are in the world together, figuring it out together, usually when plastered. You fight for each other and when you have not seen each other in years, you talk like you never parted. I am almost 10 years out of high school.
 
High school was hell. Absolute hell.

I do wonder about the people who thought it was heaven. Why did they peak at 17? It's downhill all the way after that.

I ran out of that school after graduation, and kept on running. I can't think of anything or anyone that would get me back.
 
I loved high school but I wouldn't say it was my peak. There are a lot of folks who don't have much ability to do exciting things. Their greatest and most exhilirating moment maybe was making the big sack in an hs football game, for the rest of their lives they'll work on a state road crew or something. I feel kind of sorry for them. Of course there is a cave diver somewhere who feels sorry for me and my comparatively boring life. It's relative I guess
 
I just came back from a quick vacation to LA where I visited one friend I've known since I was 9 or 10 and another who I've known since I was 14. I went to high school with both of them and have kept in touch all these years. Both have great families and it is fun to see them with their kids.

I've gone to every high school reunion we've had (every five years) and I've had fun at all of them. There's always at least a few people that I haven't seen in years and I enjoy talking to again.
 
High School

Sometimes I really miss high school, and other times I am VERY fucking glad that time of my life is in the past.

I had alot of associates. I was always surrounded by people. But there were very few I considered real genuine friends. Most of the people I hung out with in High School went out of my life as soon as school ended. I honestly had no desire to keep in touch. I see them once in awhile, we talk when we do catch up, but I don't miss them at all.

The people I DID keep in contact with (and even some of those lost touch until recently) were the people I really cared alot about as friends. There are a few people I regret losing contact with, mainly because I was caught up in so much shit at the end of my Senior year and I just wanted to get the hell out of Rochester for a little while.


I've also found out that some of the people I considered great friends turned out not to be after high school and others who I took for granted were the ones who were my real friends.

I am starting to get in touch with the people I miss though.
 
I liked high school. I wasn't popular, but I had a very large group of friends that consisted basically of the AP students. We were close because everyone had taken the same classes together since seventh grade. Nobody dated, we were too busy getting good grades for college, but I definitely don't regret that. We ended up hanging around in a nice, neutral, tension-free, coed blob. I still keep in touch with a lot of them, every time there is a break, we get together on badly planned adventures that usually end at Denny's. :)
 
well FG, my best friend in high school actually hooked up with my cousin and now they are married....i am godmother to thier son....my room mates from college all live in another city but we get together about every 3 months....5 women in the big city look out....the rest i have moved on i suppose but those dearest to me are still close....
 
See? Isn't that great. High school alumni is free, though.
 
I have a few people that I keep in contact with.... I wasn't miss popularity because I chose not to be. I didn't want to be expected to hang with one type of people....

I have found a few on icq and on aol im.... and some on classmates.com..

but I found that true friends will never leave you.... at least not forever... they will always find their way back.

after all..... friends are connected to you..... they were destined to be who they were.
 
i hated high school... and a lot of people there hated me.... but i did have a small handful of friends and we were all really close, and still are. our relationships with each other are really strange though... we go for months without saying much to each other and then we all start talking again like we hadnt spent any time apart. we all see each other every so often and we have a great time together when we do.
 
No, no and hell no. Funny how my best friends are the ones I met AFTER high school. Some of them I've had for upwards of 10 years.
 
I was a cheerleader in high school also. We all dated members of the football team. None of us keep in touch. Such a simple, unrealistic, garbage world we lived in then.

Last I heard they all had 3.87 kids and gained 67 pounds. All but 1 is divorced. Small town living. They never left. Boy, am I lucky.
