    Same happened to me at the end of high school. None of us speak to each other anymore, although not everyone fell out with everyone... odd isn't it?
    So true. The very same thing has happened to me.....made many friends at college and couple of real close mates....but now at uni, made new friends, but haven't been much in contact with my old college mates...

    Two relatively close friends that I hang around with at sixth form, but that's about it. I don't really share my intimate thoughts with them either though. I prefer being an introvert.

    I don't really know.
    Well, I rarely see my old friends from back home, though it's usually because they're working full time or are at college. (Though only 2 of them I would count as real friends).

    Out of the people here, I'd say that the ones who I hang out with are "good friends" and not "real friends".

    Overall, I'd say I have 3, maybe 4. That includes my partner.

    Seriously I don't understand how people here can completely trust 10 people. That is far too big of a circle to be spreading secrets and confessions that can potentially ruin you.

    Two.
    This time last year I had about ten.
    Well, that's depressing. I don't even want to know what that number will be next year.
    Same boat! Just graduated last year; had plenty of friends at uni, was popular, had a fulfilling social life, heavily included in social events by my numerous friends, knew at least 10 of them on a very deep and personal level; on my birthday, averaged a message on facebook every 5-10 minutes or so from people who I universally would have considered to be real friends, and generally tagged in numerous photos with many people who I was very friendly with...

    And now... the last post on my Facebook wall was in March; I only have one good friend left - I keep in contact with him on facebook chat (even though I haven't seen him in the flesh since I graduated last June) - but apart from that, people have just outright ignored me and it seems that the good 20 people or so I was very close with this time last year have forgotten I exist.

    Ah well... such is life.

    Four but they're all different so I wouldn't necessarily tell them all everything. For example, one is particularly good to speak to if I have problems at home and another if I had problems with a guy

    I have a great group of friends, probably around 10 that I have known for over 10 years. We have all done our own thing so to speak but still make effort to spend time together and catch up.

    High School/Secondary School = 200+

    Cuts Down~

    College/University= 10

    Cuts Down~

    Real Life/Married Etc = 0

    Our friend's can always come and go in our lives, which is why no matter how good/bad we have to respect and take care of our blood ties. Mother, father, brother's and sister's. Most important in our life.

    I have my one best friend who I tell everything to, then I have maybe about 8 others who I feel completely comfortable around and who I can tell things to, just I don't go into too much detail about the things that happen or my feelings.
