Re: Are you still in touch with friends from high school?

Yes....80% of my friends are not only from HS but as far back as Jr.High...One of my 2 BFF's, I am now married to her brothers Chat Icon (friends since age 12)..Some moved out of state Chat Icon but we are still close....

In my school, the friends were very tight and it seems like most groups stayed close

Re: Are you still in touch with friends from high school?

Really I have just 1 (2 if you count her twin sister who I see even less since she is out of state) friend that I am in touch with. It was so random, but we both moved to MD after college (grew up in MA) and found each other through myspace/facebook. I was so nervous to reconnect with her but so glad I did.

I am not in touch with anyone. I am almost 40 & we all just kinda went separate ways. I don’t use facebook.

As my life has changed my friends have changed. I always seem to make new friends that I get close to at different points in my life.

My best friend and I have been best friends since we were 6-years-old and we're still just as close. My next two closest friends I've known since I was 5 and 10. I did have other friendships in high school that fizzled out as we moved on with our lives, but I've known my three closest friends since elem. school.

Re: Are you still in touch with friends from high school?

My best friend is still the same. Others I have kept in touch with. Facebook helps a lot. I actually became friends with girls from HS now that I wasn't close to at all then. It is nice because we all have kids around the same age.

Re: Are you still in touch with friends from high school?

We had a group of 6 in HS. I'm still close with two.

The other two I'm FB friends with.

The other one I miss terribly - I don't know how she's doing.

Re: Are you still in touch with friends from high school?

My 25 year reunion is coming up in October and I am still in touch with my three closest friends from HS.


ETA: I'd say maybe half of my FB friends are people I went to HS with but I am not in touch with aside from FB. I enjoy seeing what people are up to all these years later.

Re: Are you still in touch with friends from high school?

I keep in consistent contact with 2 friends from HS (one of them is from elementary school) and that's about it. There will be a hello here and there on fb but that's about it.

DH on the other hand lol... we see his friends from HS every weekend.

Re: Are you still in touch with friends from high school?

There's a group of them that all still hang out together, but mostly the group has broken up. We're all in different places. We keep in touch, but mostly through facebook, maybe get together once a year.

ETA: DH is still friends with the exact same people he was friends with in HS. Sometimes I envy him for it, sometimes I certainly don't.

Re: Are you still in touch with friends from high school?

I've known my 2 besties since Jr High. DH and I also went to school together since Jr. High (although we didn't meet until 12th grade and didn't start dating until we were 23). He still sees all the guys he grew up with all the time. Most of them also married girls we went to school with. And my 2 besties are with guys we went to school with. And now most of them are moving into homes in Sachem, so the tradition will continue. Although we are out of Sachem and plan on moving even further away when we buy another home in 2 yrs or so.

Re: Are you still in touch with friends from high school?

I haven't really kept in contact with anyone other than on FB. All of my really good friends went away to college and never came back to LI. I like seeing what they're up to on FB though.

I'm still close with my core group of girls from HS. We may not talk everyday but we get together as much as we can.

I didn't have many friends in high school but my small group of six have stayed friends.

We are actually meeting up for happy hour today Chat Icon

I've found that the cliques that existed in my HS all sort of stayed together. And many of us went away to college.

None. Not even on facebook.

I did go to my 10yr reunion though, but only one of the friends I was close to was there.

I found 2 former close friends on facebook but I am debating friending them.

My DH on the other hand only had 3 friends in HS & is still close to 2 of them.

Re: Are you still in touch with friends from high school?

Yes. Im still in touch with friends from high school. We don't get together that often but we get together. I have two girls that I have known for over 20 years and we see each other often and they are like family. Two other girls are from high school! One just moved up the block from me and the other one became my SIL!!! One I made friends with outside of school she is four years younger, we worked togehter and we are still close. Others I see through my friends.

Re: Are you still in touch with friends from high school?

I thank my lucky stars for the few HS friends I still have. One of them I've been BFFs with since I was 9. I lost just about all of my other "friends" when I got divorced. Not that I ever thought for one sec. that they'd keep in touch with me. Losers. Chat Icon

I keep in touch, but, rarely get together.
I *think* I'm probably the last one left on LI!
LOL

I feel like my whole class moved! Scattered all over the country!

Re: Are you still in touch with friends from high school?

Aside from facebook, I am not in contact with my friends who went to HS with me. I do, however, maintain close friendships with a few people who I have known since HS through my youth group. Just not my actual classmates. We grew apart in college, I guess.

Nope, not really. Outside of being "friends" with them on FB, I don't really see or hang with any of them now. .
