so yea im going to graduate in 3 months, but everythings been going not so good.....friends problem, high school drama, and myself problem...anyways i was wondering how long people usually stayed connected or close with their group of friends after they graduated high school.....do we have to be close with these people? is it easy to make a totally different group of friends and stick with them, since the group of friends i have arent really that tight....i want a tight group of friends of mine and be happy with....is it possible to do that? as of now after i graduate i wouldnt really want to be friends with a lot of the kids in my school......

Yeah, there's a whole world out there outside of high school. If you get a job you'll meet people quickly, or go out to social activities (like the bar or something) or play sports. There are lots of other people to be friends with. After high school I totally ditched my friends and started over. I was in a different university than them so it was easy to make new friends! Anyway, if they aren't good friends, you'll meet others!

I graduted last year and some friends I still talk to and see every once and awhile but I dont hang with the gang I had in school because they're in college and some are doing other things. To me, things are more laid back then in high school. No drama ((if you have the right friends)), you have the choice to keep the friends you wanna keep, you hang with who you wanna hang with, you make new friends at your job, and usually your enemies 'go away'. I have internal problems myself, that doesnt make things easy but its easier then having those problems and drama friends on top of it. You stay connected as long as you choose to stay connected. Its all about the real world and making your own choices and being resposible for them. If theres friends you wanna stay close with, then stay close with them. In school you'll get friends but some of those friends are 'school only' friends. Like you're good friends with them and all because you see them everyday, when you're out working and doing you're own thing its not gonna be that easy anymore. I think in life your real and tight group of friends are some friends from school that managed to stay friends and keep in touch and friends you make when you're out there making a living and getting into other things after school. It will work out, just do what makes you happy.

the day of graduation is the last time you will see 95% of the kids you went to HS with.
Assuming you go to college, you will soon have a whole new group of friends, more often then not these are the people that turn into your life long friends.
Going into the military would be similar to college with regards to long term friendships.
At either the military or college you are going to go through a life experience w/o mommy/daddy that will have a profound effect on who you will ultimately become.
Slow down, take a breath, enjoy your final months in high school for what they are - the last time in your life when you will have almost no responsibility. Don't burn any bridges with your friends, you never know if you'll need one of them in future (like they become a doctor or lawyer or cop....).

I lost contact with most of my "close high school friends" about 1 week after graduation. But it all depends you have to put forward the effort and it also depends how far apart you are all going to college. It won't always be as easy as high school to make friends but you will still make them. At work, in college, at church if you attend or on-line. Congratulations on graduation you are leaving some great years and great Friends behind you but I assure you there are even better ones ahead.

people go their seperate ways for the most part. even friends that have been tight since elementary school will part as they go to different colleges or enter the working world. And in these new environments we make new friends.
Look at it this way. A crowded 30 gallon fish tank gets emptied into the gulf of mexico... that's what happens after high school.

this is the most wonderful time of your life, try not to hold onto the past and the old friends if they go their own way..they will let you know what they want of you by their actions(phone calls , letters, email, etc and you likewise)it's time now to get to explore everything and get to know who you are by getting to know other people..just live life and dance,sing, date if you care to, and have fun
stay away form the drink and drugs and keep your clothes on and all will be fine. there is soo much to do and discover in the world and just take a day at a time. maybe make a list of things you would like to do and learn, discover, or places you would like to visit..everywhere you go you will find some sort of friend. maybe find an adult you look up to, trust and admire, vist them often and ask them questions that come to mind about anything in life...they will be glad to answwr if they can
3 types of friends in the world..casual, friends for the hike, friends for the journey..(some say friends for a time, a reason, and a season) most are fortunate to have one or two real true friends in this lifetime..dont worry about that too much..things will happen as they are meant to. If you believe in God, then you will have a good and wonderful journey..trust in HIM, He will neverleave you or forsake you(yes, there will be difficult times, and trials and tribulations..this is life) He is your all powerful Heavenly Father and Fathers look out for their children
good luck

Well, I am currently in touch with NOBODY I went to high school with. I've seen people a few times but nothing currently or for almost a year.
High school was a phase of life where people are just growing into their skin and preparing for the next phase. People you meet in college stay with you longer. In college you really bond with people who are interested in things you are interested in. And there's dorm. If you go to a college far enouph away to live on campus, there's a whole dynamic. It's really awesome.

high school is baby time if you are going to college you will meet many new and nice friends that will probably be positive for you you may have 1 or 2 from high school but that is about it you have a whole new world to explore so go do it and keep your eyes wide open and your mind and heart things will be good for you stay positive!

After High School you loss all of your friends and you make new ones when you start working and while you go to college. It's normally at College you find your true best friend. At least that's how it worked for me. Good Luck!

You dont have to keep intouch. If ur planning on going to college, you will get a bunch of other friends, that will be a LOT closer. Just deal with high school and focus on college.
