High School friends

<p>Has anybody here or college graduate ever looked back to the past people by the time you were 23-25? Have they matured into better people and eventually became individuals who were easier to get along with at the time?</p>

<p>I've discussed the issue with one of my closest high school peers and she told me not to bring them into the present. She said things can get better because she's been through this before. I was wondering if anybody sees the advice as theoretical? I can't do anything right now to help idiots other than to cherish memories alone.</p>

<p>Well heres what happens. After college you get maried and have kids and have a real job, so you dont get to see your friends alot. And when you do you just go to the bar for the night and drink and thats about it. The problem is when you get maried then you have to spend all your free time with your wife or she will get mad at you. So really your old friends dont mean anything when you are a grown up. Like when you move. You say you are going to be friends forever blah blah blah but then you get new ones at your new house and the old ones dont matter anymore.</p>

<p>The way you worded your question made me a little confused, but here we go.</p>

<p>In my experience, most people who graduate will become closer with their coworkers than many of the friends they made in college. There are exceptions of course, but this happens for the same reason you make new friends in college rather than keep your high school friends. It’s harder to stay in touch with people after colelge because they can be from all over the world. I think that I know more foreigners than I do Americans. Even the Americans that I know, they’re from all over the country. So people just end up scattering, going everywhere any anywhere.</p>

<p>I want to keep in touch with some HS people on facebook, but I fail. So I try to wonder if things will ever change in 5-10 years. Otherwise, I may have to completely forget about it. I did not say it in a way I want to hang out with them again totally.</p>

<p>Then don’t get married. Problem solved.</p>

<p>Anybody else want to offer an advice? Do you think it’s worth giving a shot in the future since they’ll have grown up?</p>
