I intentionally dropped out of contact with everyone I knew in high school (and college, for that matter).

 

This entirely depends on a case by case basis. I still hang regularly with my best friends from high schools. We've known each almost 25 yrs now. Of course, you're gonna loss a lot of friends, but this is life. Friends will come and go, so you just have to decide which ones you will not let go.

The larger question is why are you even thinking about this as sophomore.

 

Huh. Wonder what they did to deserve that.

And seeing as how my best friend is going to a college in California, another in London, etc. I believe I'm gonna end up losing most of my friends after high school is done with. Oh well, I already made friends with some people at the college I'm going to attend.

 

Pretty much, I lost contact with all but one of my friends from high school. But it's not a big deal, since I'm used to having friends for at least 3-4 years before we go our own separate ways without ever saying goodbye.

EDIT: As for the college thing, I'm currently attending a community college that's roughly 1/2 hour away from where I currently live, on my family's farm. I haven't made any new friends in college, as I normally keep to myself. I am planning on transferring to a 2-4 year university once I get my associate's, but chances are that I will be getting an apartment on campus as opposed to living in a dorm.

 

thanks guys there are good friend si have right now that i kinda want to stay in touch with after hs is all doen with. I know my stepfather has a friend that he ahs known since he was a little kid and now they are all grown up and married and his friend is the god father of his two sons he ahs and he still knows a couple other friends froms chool back then.

 

Yep. Lost 'em all. On purpose, too.

 

I graduated last summer, and while I've lost communication with a few, I've still remained in contact with those I can call my real friends. Because always, there'll be "real friends" and "we-were-in-the-same-class friends" when it comes to highschool.

Chances are people will change as well, so loosing contact is not always a bad thing. I had a few good friends who moved from town a few years ago, really cool guys, but we lost contact for a while. When we got in touch again just maybe 9 months later, I could barely recognise them from the way they spoke and acted.

 

My best friend through most of high school met a girl who was a complete control freak who none of my friends could stand. They moved two towns over and were pretty much never heard from again. She didn't like any of his friends and he was unable to stand up to her to tell her to get bent. My next best friend was a "go nowhere" in everything. I didn't see him for about 8 years after high school, and when I did, he was doing the exact same thing (living at his mom's house, playing Nintendo 64 and smoking weed). Another friend got deep into drugs and crime and I just avoided him, but his younger brother who I was also close with, found religion and moved away to start a family.

I'm really not looking forward to my reunion as I know I will have little to nothing in common with these people and even though I want to go, it will be very strange seeing these people who used to be friends and now are anything but.

 

Our HS batch has an e-group and we communicate through it as well as through e-mails...

 

I pretty much lost touch with everyone I knew in HS. I stayed in touch for awhile after graduation, but as our lives went in different directions, we just grew apart unfortunately.

 

only stayed in touch with 2; then again I hated the higschool I went to and never cared much for the people there.

 

Me and my best friend actually got excepted in the same school for the same degree...wierd.

 

With the advent of Facebook, catching up and keeping contact is easy for me. However, quite a few of my friends are going to the same college in-state, and so while I don't meet some of them all the time, my closest friends and I hang out regularly.

It definitely depends on your situation, and how much you actually want to keep in contact with those people.

 

If you lose contact with them all so easily, well, they obviously weren't as good/close of friends as you'd have thought. I may have lost contact with some people, some even I considered friends, but the ones I counted on most, my real friends, I still talk to most of them regularly.

 

Life is a series of hello's and goodbye's.

 

Funny you bring up Facebook; I joined just to talk to friends I have now and I have gotten so many friend requests from people from highschool I never liked or gave a shit about me. Weird thing is that I feel like a jerk if I deny the request...

 

Nah, I fed them through the bars during chowtime at the Jail where I worked.

 

I kept in touch with my highschool friends far more than my college friends. But I attribute that to going to middle/highschool overseas. The friends I met overseas were far more interesting than the ones I met in college in Vegas.

 

Probably depends heavily on individual circumstances, but I graduated about eleven years ago, and about half of my current close friends consist of people from high school (or earlier), and a few of the others are people I met through those same high school friends. I also have a large number of former high school friends who are now friendly acquaintances that I see regularly but infrequently.

I've only kept in touch with a handful of people from university, however.

 

Most of my friends now are friends I made back in high school and junior high, though not all of us went to the same school or graduated the same year.

My friends from college seem to be more of the come and go type. Hung out tons while we were in school, getting drunk and everything. Hardly talk to any of them anymore. But I guess that's how it is when you're friends but ultimately competing for similar jobs in the end.

So in my case, no. I didn't lose all of my friends after high school. It's more like I kept all my friends from high school that mattered.
