I was having a conversation with one of my friends a few hours ago about this topic. It occurred to me that apart from the friend I was talking to and two other people that we are mutually friends with, I have lost contact with everyone else who was in my year group, even a couple of my other friends from High School. You see the same people nearly every day for six years and then, right after graduation, you never hear from any of them again. Life immediately after high school really determines who your true friends are.
Anyway, the conversation I had inspired me to create this topic. To the other members who have since graduated from high school, did you maintain contact with your High School friends after you graduated or have you since moved on and made new friends?

I have no contact whatsoever with my former schoolfellows and have desire to have any. All we have in common is the fact that we were in school together.

This is normal. 99.9% (or 100% for many) of the people you meet in high school you won't ever see again past the age of 22 or so, even the good kids. Life gets in the way.

Yeah, I'm still in contact with most of them due to social, email, and phone numbers. However, on the way, I made new friends as well.  This is normal. 99.9% (or 100% for many) of the people you meet in high school you won't ever see again past the age of 22 or so, even the good kids. Life gets in the way. I disagree. You do see them again. I have randomly run into some people that went to my high school over the last several years.

I tried really hard for the first two years, but it started feeling pointless so I let it fizzle. After that I held on to a few close ones, but again, the fizzling. It's weird how now it's been a good year and half without any contact whatsoever. Especially since some still live so close. (Ehh, around the corner?) But without the commonality and naturally growing different, it feels like there's no point, even coming from a pretty nostalgic person.
People will probably hold on more than they used to thanks to social media. Once you're not around the people anymore though it becomes very boring to still try to keep up with them, depressing even. Hence why I quit. I do check up on a few every so often, ones I actually care about. Some because they are entertaining. There are some, especially the former popular kids, who do still seem to hang out a lot.

Since I only graduated last year, there are still a few of my friends from High School that I keep in contact with. Sometimes we might meet up or whatever but apart from those few, ive mostly lost contact with the people in my year group. However obviously I still know whats going since ive got them all of Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat...its more like I don't directly talk to them. Anyways since starting Uni this year, ive meet people that I guess I could say are more relevant now.
