Re: friends from highschool

  • Nope I too am a jerk. :-)

  • Pretty much the only way I see friends from High school is on FB. They don't like it when you leave for the summer Junior year, change your phone number and don't come back. =)

  • None of my high school friends are here, therefore I never see them (just on Facebook). 

    My best friend from my childhood currently lives in NYC, so we hang out everytime I'm there. 

    I don't even have any college friends up here, lol.

  • No.  I have two friends from HS (well one from K-12 and one from 7-12) that I keep in touch with, but don't hang out w/ often.  One lives on east coast and the other about an hour away.  We email/facebook and occassionally meet up.  But, I don't avoid them.  Anyone else from HS, who I might want to avoid, I lost touch with many, many years ago.

  • I only keep in touch with 2 friends from HS, and both of them live in Southern Oregon so it's not much of an issue. I'm not really close with either of them, but try to see them if we're ever in each other's area. Actually, speaking of which, one of them just called me but I wasn't on lunch so will have to check my voicemail. She must be coming to town because that's the only time she calls :)

  • I live 3000+ miles from all of my high school friends, so I don't need to make excuses. ;o)

  • No one from my HS tries to talk to me that I wouldn't want to talk to. I went to HS around here too.

    However, I have interviewed people that I went to HS with. That's weird. 

  • Only see them on FB, and keep in touch with 1 or 2 peeps from HS. But I would totally duck out if someone just reached out. I know, it does sound horrible.

    This! Though I do get irritated when they invite me to, like, their work promo parties or whatever the hell. Like I'm going to drop everything to fly to the East Coast?

  • soralette, that bugs me too! I had one fb friend from high school that would repeatedly invite me to fundraisers.

  • There is only one person I keep in touch with, though we never actually hang out.

    Side note: my 10 year reunion is this year and I have no idea what is going on with that.

  • i have about 3 friends that i'm still "in touch" with in real life from highschool. one is a bff (but i don't see her often because she lives 40 mins away), the other two are more acquaintances that i see 3x's a year, max.

    i might have a few more here and there that i talk to occasionally on fbook, but nothing serious.

  • I'm still in contact with a large group of HS friends.  They all live in our hometown though.  I only live an hour away and they act like it's a huge incovience to drive down to me, but me coming up to see them is no big deal!  They always ask when I'm going to be in town.   How about you drive down here and see me!   I'm peeved about the things that I find out about that I didn't get invited to, ya know, you see pictures on FB and no one bothered to call you!  Argh!
