;D Hi everbody. I was just thinking about something today and I thought I should share it with you. I don't know how many of you are graduating but think about all the importance that you uhave placed on the last four years of your life and then think about all the people whom you have come to be such good friends with that you would do anything for them. Now think about the months following graduation. How many of these people will continue to be your friends? How many of these people would you make an effort to keep in touch with. Kind of makes the last four years seem kind of trivial doesn't it.

i completely know what you are saying. its like people go through stages according to what grade their in, although we all change over the years (if you dont, please go talk to someone.. lol) its strange that the changes occur in august/september. its almost like summer is the time to figgure out who you are. luckily ive been able to keep friends over the years (i still am friends with several i have know for over 16 years--well, i am 16. lol) Its hard enough for me to keep in touch with people that live in my valley. Its going to be even worse when everyone goes off to college. (thats a scary word)

yeah, i've been out of high school for two years now and it really isn't as bad as you might think it is. The people you truly love and can truly call friends are the ones that you will stay in touch with. No big deal. It's the time when you find out who is a friend and who is just an acquaintance. So don't worry too much, it sorts itself out. Oh, and college is way easier than high school. ;D

I agree with Lechim, you find out who your true friends are when you leave school b/c they are the ones to keep in touch with you and those who don't aren't really your friends. I know this too b/c I moved far away from home at 14 (I am 18 now) and I lost a lot of friends but aftera while I realized that they warn't my real friends and b/c I didn't hang on to the fact that they left me I made a lot of new and even better friends than they ever were!

It's not so much finding out who you're true friends are as finding out who you are really friends with. It's about discovering the kind of person you were/ are in high school and the person you might be, or want to be, when it comes time to be an "adult." Your intrapersonal relationship pattern starts to form while you are in high school because it is one the most socially demanding atmospheres there are.

yes, high school is one of the most socially demanding times in your life but it is more that you are being social to survive. Later in life you can really decide who your friends are. You don't have to be friends with this person or that person because they are friends with someone else, because you don't have to see all of these people practically every day. People say that you find friends for life in college (which i have found to be a crock of....well yeah. Atleast for me) But it is the time when you start to realize what you want out of a friendship. So yeah. I'm done.

everyone puts so much emphasis on trying to find out who their "real friends" are, but the way I see it is, everyone is in your life for a reason. whether that be them helping you figure out who you are, being there to go shopping with, or just someone to talk to. life is full of changes and change can be hard, but it doesn't have to be. we all just need to accept that people are going to come in and out of our lives. how we treat them, deal with them, and what we learn from them is what is important. it does hurt to lose a "friend," but maybe that person did all that he/she was put in your life to do. maybe that person was a friend for as long as he/she was supposed to be. try not to fight nature; these things happen, but how we deal with these changes and what we learn from them is what counts. try not to stress over this guys....its life! go live and have fun! and remember to smile =)
