Do you still talk to your secondary school friends?

I know some people never do and others are still best friends with people fro their old school. I’m hoping me and my friends will stay close

I speak to all of my 3 closest friends from school. I see two of them frequently. The rest who i wasn’t so close to but were “good” friends I have on Facebook etc but don’t talk to much, only if I see them in person or whatever in town. However I have gained multiple amazing new friends from college and university, so try not to worry about it too much!

i legit just finished year 11 in march (due to covid) and ALREADY i would honestly say i only speak to 5 of my friends from school, and there were at least 20 people in our friendship group.

I occasionally message one or two friends from school, in case we forget either of us ever existed lol.

I moved to a different part of the country after I left school, so I haven't seen any of them at all in person, and it's difficult to properly keep in touch (despite social media).

No, after prom night that was basically it for majority then the remaining few I lost contact once I left sixth form. I had really bad social anxiety growing up which hampered the friendships I did have. I am tempted to create a Facebook account and search names but seeing people who have their lives together would be kinda depressing. I'm 25 so some folk would be married and have kids.

Temptation got the better of me and damn it was depressing not because people have their lives together but because they don't.

I feel bad for laughing but it’s just a bit of a plot twist 😂 Have you reached out to anyone? :smile:

Idk if this counts but I moved schools in year 9 and I speak to only one of my friends from then and another guy but we became friends a couple of years after I left bc we live near each other and we weren’t friends when I was at that school so idk if that counts.

Three I still speak to from time to time, two as my parents and theirs are neighbours (would not do otherwise I suspect) and a third has been and remains a friend since junior school.

I still do. My friends have, fortunately, been with me from high school, college and now university (not all but some). And, I still intend to speak to those that have decided to go to university elsewhere. 7 years worth of friendship lol; I don't intend to throw that away.

only one
if you both make the effort, you'll stay in contact. it also helps if you live close so when you go back home you can meet up. doesn't work out for everyone though.

a few

my mum and her best friend nikki were best friends in high school and still are😂

I am still quite close to five people from secondary school. They were part of our 'gang', but never actually my best friends. The two girls who were my best friends I've long since grown apart from, but my friendship with the others has just got better and better!

I don't really engage much with my secondary school/Sixth Form folk as I left back in 2016 and couldn't wait for a fresh start at uni as some of them were complete @rseholes to me.

I have a handful of my classmates (the ones who were good to me) on LinkedIn now and It's wierd seeing their professional side and not just their personal one. It's nice also to see how far they've come since school.
