<p>Throughout my junior year, I felt things were changing between me and two of my friends, and I lost both. One friend and I just drifted away from each other. I ended the other friendship this summer (no, I wasn't being completely mean. it's a long story that takes a while to explain). </p>
<p>I know people change all the time and that I will meet many new people in college, but I feel sad that I no longer get along with people that I've knowon well for many years. </p>
<p>Have any of you guys lost really good friends by the time you graduated high school?</p>
<p>who cares? You don't go to high school to make friends, you go to high school TO GET As and GET INTO IVY LEAGUE COLLEGES!!! (or a crappy college if you are not as motivated)</p>
<p>I came extremely close to snapping off a relationship with one of the best friends I've ever had. A mutual friend intervened and insisted I give him another chance, and it's worked out.</p>
<p>But yes, I can definitely see myself losing some of them.</p>
<p>I know this sounds really bad, but I don't bother with people I don't see anymore. I like my friends, but when I don't see them as often it becomes really hard to spend time together, so I just spend time with others. It sucks when I "lose" a friend, but there are always other friends. Not saying that my former friends are easily replaced. I mean I would still try to hang out with my closest friends..I guess.</p>
<p>I read an article that said that people today had few best friends than they did 10 years ago. I guess with all the technologies and advantages many people considered their computers or tv to be their best friend. It's kind of sad for me too. I don't really have a best friend right now. I lost many good friends when I moved. Most of my friend can only be describe a s "close" friend. We have less than 10 things in common. We are there for each other but we know that our friendship won't last through college.</p>
<p>I usually always lose my best friends, just because we drift away. My current best friend and me are still close, but I don't know..we're not going to see each other this summer.</p>
<p>And I had a big fight with my other best friend 2 days ago, I wrote her a letter..I think it's better although we need time apart. We all lose friends, but you're going to gain friends to. College will be a new slate.</p>
<p>i live about an hour away from my high school, so I don't really want to go down there to meet up with friends, and they don't want to come down here to meet up with me. :P</p>
<p>seriously, though, don't be so sentimental. you'll make friends in college blah blah blah.</p>
<p>I have had a couple really good friends, people who I believe would do anything for the other. But I have eventually lost them all, because of loss of intersts and communication. I have one friend that I have known since pre-school, so I am lucky that I have him.</p>
<p>I think that it is really common to drift away from friends Junior and Senior year of high school. I think it is due to a combination of maturing a lot during those two years and so friends grow and change at different rates, and the whole college thing looming ahead. Some friends become competitive, some anxious and obnoxious, and everyone is usually just really ready to move on. There is also the knowledge that you are leaving eachother and so it can be hard to stay close.</p>
<p>yeah i had a rly close long distance friend and we just drifted apart, it sucks. we still talk but only occasionally and theres nothing to say :/</p>
<p>some people have limits--you get to know them for about a year and then you've kind of reached the limit and you don't want to know them anymore. some people are best as casual and not close friends</p>

Of course you go to high school to make friends.</p>
<p>I hate how that happens. Everyone is pursuing a separate path nowadays. It is inevitable. Everything cannot ever stay the same. Change occurs and it's better to get used to change than to stand on the same floor, in the same fashion and with the same mentality over and over. Believe me, I have experienced drastic changes in my life and i felt the same way you are probably feeling right now. Make new friends and try keeping in touch with old ones. It's the time to expand your horizons and get more contacts. Know various people and interact with them. This will certainly help you in the future.</p>
