<p>^ Same with mine. Even the onces that are hardened against the world. It’s somewhat intersting to watch.</p>
<p>Musicallylatin my school is somewhat similar. Most groups formed (at least the beginnings of them) in after-school sports leagues or associations of parents, even before elementary school started. You can hang out with them but you never really feel completely in-touch with them. It sucks that the group of kids I hung out with way back when have grown apart since then.</p>
<p>Correction, I have grown apart from them…they still seem as tight as ever. We still hangout but its not quite the same.</p>
<p>I dont really hang out with a group of friends, I just have really close friends everywhere, they dont really hang out with each other though. Sometimes its difficult because when I want to hang out with all of them, I cant get them all together because they dont really know each other, and it gets a little awkward. But I guess I like not being in a single group, I get to know a lot more people than some people who only have their clique.</p>
<p>The hardest thing is coming into the band program. It’s bad enough that the sophomores and juniors had band together in middle school as did the juniors and seniors, the freshmen and sophomores, and that I wasn’t a part of that, but I’m also the only instrument in my section, so I have no one to connect to.</p>
<p>Band kids are generally moronic at my school also. Being in an EC where everyone is generally friends and not fitting into any part of it is fairly annoying.</p>
<p>Yeah like I said in a earlier post, I’m not close to like any of my friends, though we conversate etc… There are some of my friends that plan to attend/ same interest as universities as myself, though we do not plan to like hang out in college or anything. Then there are some of my friends where we don’t even have intentions on going to the same university. I’ll say if I have a facebook or somesort of account, having then on my friendlist would be a intention, to speak every so often, seeing them on high school reunion is expected, but thats about it.</p>
<p>I don’t have a best friend, never had one, and don’t see that potential in any friends I know. My postion of friends I know, like ones I eat lunch with, talk in class etc… is strange. We don’t really know each other well, speaking of home life, etc… We don’t hang out when speaking of out of school etc… and it’s not something we would try to do with each other. Though there are many different level of friendships, not sure which level my friend ship is with students at my school. lol</p>
<p>lol, aw. i have a feeling around this time next year i will be glad to be almost-rid of my friends, too :/</p>
<p>What are the kind of friends do you guys hope to attain in college?</p>
<p>Personally I’m vouching for politically active friends since I plan on being active myself.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>i feel for yall, but have some respect, will you? like them or not, they are your friends, and unless they feel the same way about you, they care about you (because that’s something you associate with friendship).</p>
<p>i don’t know who any of you are or what situation yall are in, but none of your friends would like hearing the things you’re saying about them now. perhaps the best thing to do is to show some appreciation and try to make the best of what you have (easier said than done, i admit).</p>
<p>When I graduated I was ready to get away from my “friends”. They had pulled so much crap over my junior and senior year that I was fed up with everyone of them. Notably, I had two best friends going into junior year. By the end of senior year, I talked to neither of them. One of them was a girl and she lost a bunch of weight over the summer before senior year and got really hot. She became really arrogant too and ended up ignoring me for all the popular guys and I ended up liking her and all this other crap went down. We didn’t talk for months. Then my other “best friend” never wanted to hang because he got a girlfriend and whenever we did hang he was on the phone with her so it was pretty annoying. He also would make plans and then bail at the last minute. One time I asked him to hang and he said he couldn’t and made up some excuse, I find out later that night he went to hang with my other buddy. That ****ed me off bad. I made different good friends senior year but we drifted by the end of hte year. And now that I’m in college, I talk to one (1) friend from high school and its sporadically. My good friends from high school never even make an attempt to talk to me. I did make some new friends at college though and they are way more mature and down to earth, definitely makes up for the crappy friends I had in high school.</p>
<p>To y7bbb6:</p>
<p>My friends feel the same way mostly. We understand we’re all idiots and we’ve grown apart but we still enjoy each other company sometime. We all understand that once we go to college that we will never talk and see each other again. For me, i’m just a little happy to have the opportunity to start over completely.</p>
<p>Btw, nice quote lol</p>
<p>My “group” that I used to hang out with was pretty much the nerdy Asians guys (nope, no females) who got good grades (plus two or three white people, lol), but sometime last year I tired of their humor and started hanging out with this group of older kids who were also pretty nerdy but less Asian and not only male. Unfortunately, they’ve all graduated now.</p>
<p>At this point, I don’t <em>truly</em> care about the majority of my friends. One of my best friends and another four good friends are already in college, I have three friends in high school with whom I intend to stay in contact for a long time. The other ones amuse me and will help me pass the time till the end of the year, but past that, they probably will stop mattering. I’m going out of state for college; most of them are staying. I kind of have accepted this as just how life goes.</p>
<p>Almost all idiots with an exception of a couple. Idiots: Not passing, dropping out next year, or barely passing.
Smart friends: Ranked top in the class</p>
<p>One of my friends constantly belittles me. Whenever I ask her about an assigment more than once for clarification, she says: “OMG, I already TOLD you what the assignment is. You can do whatever you freaking want if you don’t trust me!” Half the time, she’s actually wrong. That, or she knows what we’re really supposed to do, and she purposely doesn’t tell me. </p>
<p>Another one of my friends is closer to me, but I get annoyed with her lazy attitude and her habit of not doing homework and reading manga during class. </p>
<p>I hate the first, and love the second, but the first is still a friend, regardless of the bad attitude she always has towards me.</p>
<p>I used to hang out with my friends all the time, but we’ve kind of separated since I’ve been busy studying and can’t hang out. My sports season just finished too and they can’t understand that I want to just chill and relax by myself, season started in november and now I finally have free time. They don’t do anything, so they have all this free time and now that I have free time they think I want to hang out all the time which I don’t.</p>
<p>Plus I don’t have much in common with them, I’ll be glad when I get to college and can make some new friends as bad as that sounds.</p>
<p>I don’t really like some of my friends because…okay well this is going to sound really stuck-up and snobby, but they’re not <em>smart</em> enough for me. Plus they have totally different interests that I could care less about.</p>
<p>It’s actually really comforting to see that there a lot of people out there who don’t like their friends either and can’t wait for college to meet new people.</p>
<p>The fact that I find most of my friends immature is what makes me not hang out with them, and consequently, have a bunch of acquaintances instead. I can’t wait for college where I’ll meet people who don’t just waste away their lives in a basement (though that could be fun, spending your life like that every minute of every day of every week, broken up by some hours at school, gets annoying). I need friends who do stuff and get involved, unlike anyone in my apathetic school. Glad to see others somewhat feel this way! I can’t wait for college.</p>
<p>^<em>Wow</em>, AnnaSmith, you couldn’t have said it better!</p>
<p>That is precisely, to the point, how I feel.</p>
<p>@ justintsn: i completely empathize 
I <em>live</em> in Utah too right now (I don’t feel like I quite belong here, since I moved from PA a few years ago…) but a lot of the people here are just really uptight, and…a;sldkjfa;sldfjasl;k. I can’t really describe it in words
There are a few people that I’m going to miss, but I’m really excited to go to college where there’ll be a bigger pool of people. Plus, we’re all more mature now than we were a couple years ago, so this time around, hopefully we’ll be able to find people who we genuinely like to hang out with more, yea? :P</p>
