Losing friends after high school?
So, I just graduated high school, and I've had the same group of friends since freshman year. We all went through the same phases together. But lately, I can't take them anymore. There's some that I lost contact with because all they want to do is play baseball. They play baseball every single day. I'm not a fan and never really have been, and I feel as though I'd rather be spending my summer having fun rather than doing that everyday. So, I have hardly seen my guy friends from the "group". And the girls that are in the "group" I just flat out can't stand anymore. They can be really shady and get on my nerves really fast. So, I've turned to other good friends of mine, and I have hardly seen any of my "best" friends this summer that I lost to baseball. I cannot wait until august when i leave for college and make new friends. I'm just confused on what to do. I miss the old days. This should be my best summer yet and I feel like I lost them to baseball. Now we're just drinking friends. =(
Yes, this is normal. In life, friends come and go. People change over time and there is nothing that we can change about that. Over time, people start hanging out with different types of groups and people in high school and they start trying to act cool.I had a friend, a best friend of mine whom I have spent 4 years with. Unfortunately , she started hanging out with the "popular" girls and changed. I stopped hanging out with her after she kept spreading false accusations about me and called me names. That was in 7th grade. However, things changed. I changed. I didn't care anymore and this made me stronger. I am in high school now. But my point is that people change and it is completely normal. Nothing is wrong with it. It's probably for the best because thy might not be the right group to be apart of.Don't loose hope and love yourself.
No offense, but I’m doubting the authenticity of the question. Being home schooled does not mean you disappear into a hole, a cave, or another world. Connect with your friends. All four of my kids are homeschooled, two of them attended homecoming with friends at the public school when they could and my oldest just went to prom. Homeschool doesn't mean social retardation. to the contrary, many of my kid's friends wished they could get out of the public school social circles which they found small minded and stifling. there's so many opportunities to be social outside of school, you can look online, etc. good luck.if you like my answer please upvote and if you really like it please follow me
Do you lose contact with your friends after high school?
I graduated in 05, so its been a while since high school. I still talk to a few of them. As long as they are REAL friends you will continue to talk to them. During the next few years and after you graduate you will realize that you and your friends are all growing and maturing at different times in different situations. Sometimes peeps lose friends during this time but the ones that last you will enjoy in the end. I'm happy with the few amount of peeps that i talk to now. I have realized that i don't want to waste my time and energy on peeps that aren't important. I'm also happy for the ones that i lost bc i was able to learn form the situation. Everyone is different, that's just how it has worked for me. Don't be upset about could happen, focus on today and what you have. Life is all about the journey!! Good Luck!!
Will i lose my friends after high school?
Im a senior, and ive been kinda depressed the last couple days cuz i realized that i only have a little over half a year before i basically never see any of my friends again. I know everyone does it, and they're just fine with it, but i dont get how they do it. These are people who ive come to care about deeply. I mean, ive shared the best moments of my life with them for years. How can anyone just cut that off and be fine with it? I dont have a facebook, but im gonna get one so i can at least stay in contact with everyone, but even that doesnt seem to be anywhere near enough. Recently ive fallen in love with one of my best friends (a girl), and i mean real love, not the stupid sex driven "we've only known each other for a week" typical teenage lust (although youre probably thinking "hes just saying that"). And ive promised myself that i will not leave this school without telling her how i feel. How can i just move on from her? Im usually optimistic about anything, but i just cant get over this. How do you cope with this? I cant bear the thought of seeing all the relationships ive built for years just disappear.
I lost touch, and they were dead when I looked them up.Rikki L. Apothaker was my best friend in my second high school, in a nice middle-class town near Atlantic City. We both got into a lot of trouble and did a lot of drugs. We lost touch after a few years. I looked him up when I was in law school and had access to a professional legal database. He lost his RN license (for stealing drugs) and his wife. Eventually, a drug deal went bad and he beat a guy to death with a tire iron before walking into his house and overdosing.Recently, I looked up my childhood friend, Chris R. Martinson. We were very close in my first high school, urban New Brunswick. I saw him a few times over the years. I drove across country with him, but he got pretty obnoxious at times and I couldn’t wait for it to end. I visited him in Florida, where he had started a lawn service, and he had mellowed out some. When I looked last year, I found an obituary page for him, which I paid to keep up “permanently”. There are no comments from any friends or any information about what happened. Only condolences to his mother and father on their loss. I tried to contact his (divorced) parents, but they had died shortly after him.They were both 40 when they died. The age of wisdom, huh? The were weak and they were stupid and now they’re dead. I’m the last one standing.
I moved to a completely different country and had to make new friends. Then three years later I moved to a different school and had to make new friends again. At first it’s unsettling, but eventually you find a few group of friends who you get along really well with. I met my two best friends during my last 2 years of high school. I’m still very close with my other friends, but these girls have been by my side ever since. Try to remain positive and open-minded, and don’t be shy with making new friends! Because once you leave high school it’s a whole new place. University/work…your friends may not be there as well with you, see this as practice for socialising with new people. Stay strong!
Are you still friends with your high school friends?
My wife and i started dating our sophmore year in high school. We went to different colleges and could not handle it, so I transfered to be with her. We got married after college and have been married for two years. 9 years total being together. We have made it work so far but the odds are against it. We have had many close instances where we almost called it quits. I dont think we will make it but who knows. We are working at it but one thing about couples who start in high school is they do not know how to comunicate effectivly as adults.
I want to contact a childhood friend...is it weird to do that?
So, when I was in elementary-middle school I lived in the same neighborhood as two of my best friends. After three years I moved away and lost contact with both of them. I am now 18 and for the past year this same thought keeps popping into my head at random times... how interesting would it be to contact them and find out how they're doing, what they're doing, if they've chosen to go to college, you know, just see what kind of people they've become. One of them actually visits his dad's home near to where I ended up moving, so contacting him may not be as hard. My worry is, is this just really creepy of me? Do people ever do this kind of thing, I feel like it would freak him out to know that I've been searching for a way to contact him, his weird little friend from back in middle school. Anyone else have an experience like this, and do you think it's a good idea to try to reach him? Thanks a bunch!
I think it boils down to the definition of what friendship is to you and the other person.In grade school, I had tons of friends, we played at recess, did school projects together, and hung around in the neighborhood. All it took to be someone's friend is to live near each other or share an interest. Then, not all of us went to the same high schools, and we got after school jobs, so it was an extra effort to get together and hang out, so some friends fell by the wayside After graduation some moved away, some got jobs, and the rest of us went to different colleges across the country. This was before cell phones and the internet, so it really took an effort to stay close, but we did. Now, we are in our fifties and I am no longer in touch with most of my childhood friends. We are pleasant when we see each other, but life has taken us in different directions, and we have moved on. We do not feel the need to rekindle the relationship. But I am happy to say that my closest friends today include 2 from kindergarten, 4 from grade school, and another 3 from high school. We live all over the country, and have jobs, kids and even some grandkids. But the bond we have over all those years is still strong. We make it a point to get together a couple of times a year, despite the distance. We email almost daily and share all of life's ups and downs. So my advice is to enjoy the real friends you have now, and don't look back with regret over friends you lost. You both just have different priorities now.I don't know how old you are , but it is never too late to make new friends, some of whom you may have for life.
