Does anyone else miss their high school friends???

[Jana]

Man, I go through spurts every now and then when all I can think about are the good times I had back when I was in high school. Am I alone here or what??? This shit drives me CRAZY sometimes. I think a lot of it for me has to do with the fact that I'm 3000 miles away from where I grew up and went to school. I never run into anyone I know... ever. I get like this every few months, and it depresses the hell out of me. I really miss my peeps. Anyone else in the same situation?

No.

I'm pretty much a loner now. My only true best friend being my girlfriend and my brother. I honestly don't need anybody else. All my friends in highschool are either stoners, or drug addict punks and I removed myself from every one of them. I was also close to one of my cousins, was like a brother to me and he ended up stealing off of me and my family for, you guessed it, drugs. Ever since, I keep people at distance. My best friend in highschool that was worth it moved to Florida so I never talk to him anymore. Sometimes I use to feel sorry for myself but now I say fuck it, I only need family and what's best for me and that's my girlfriend, my brother, father and the only friend from childhood who's still close. Anyone else can waste their life away abusing drugs and alcohol. Doesn't bother me none.

GI, I was close to most of my classmates. It was not hard. We had a class of 25 students. I went to a private Christian School. I really see most of them a lot. Those I liked who moved away I still keep up with via e-mail and Facebook. Ever think of looking up old school chums that way?

Geez dude, that's unfortunate. What city do you live in again? Not Pitt, but your actual town.

That's cool. I have reconnected with most of them through Facebook, but after leaving there in 1993, I never really went back. I guess everyone moves on in life and finds their own place in the mix. I got stationed here back then, and if I hadn't married my wife, I would have definitely headed back home after my 1st enlistment. I don't regret meeting my wife or getting married (well most of the time! ), but I guess I'll always wonder what would have happened if I had gone back home. I have a good life here though, so don't get me wrong. I just miss my old friends.

I'm very glad to be on a different side of the world than my graduating class.

Maybe they're thinking the same thing? Sorry for my drunken post last night... I had WAY to much to drink!!!

I know what you mean. What depresses me even more is all the dreams and ambitions I had back in high school and college. Once I settled for a job I kind of let it all die. I know people change, but I don't even recognize that girl.

It was unfortunate for a LONG TIME. I mean long time. I've been in school for quite some time now and made some changes in my life so I have some close very close classmates that turned into a brotherhood and I've gotten very close with my girlfriends best friend's boyfriend so a lot of things changed because I made it happen. It helps big-time I'm around people that are a lot like me as well (was never into drugs or heavily drinking or any of that) so that was something I wasn't use to that clicked for me for once. Anyway, I live in a small town Ellwood, about 15 minutes outside of Cranberry and 35 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh.

I thought you were pretty close to Cranberry. I visit there quite a bit (though not within the last year). My best bud from college used to live there (Charlotte now), but his bro (another great friend) is still there.

There's nothing like the friends you grew up with,I understand where your coming from Jim.

I noticed you didnt say "highschool friends" Yul, so you never went to highschool eh ?

Reminiscing about the good old days is good for the soul but longing incessantly for it just isn't healthy. Most of us here are nearing or already in the Autumn of our lives. 40 years from now a lot of us will probably be taking the dirt nap. Live life for today; stop looking over your shoulder and WISHING for things that were instead of enjoying things that are and will be.

I went to a fairly elitist high school. In touch with a few people I didn't know well on Facebook. Class ended and I had to take 2 buses to get home. I retain friendships from my old neighborhood more than high school, with a few exceptions. College was a different story. I made better friends there for the most part.

You aren't the only one. I had no clue that I was ever going to enlist into the military until Desert Storm. My life did a HUGE 180 degrees then, and it's changed my life ever since.

The only advice I can give you is to keep pursuing your dreams. You're still young! I just finally sent off an application to a university to get registered, and I'm determined to finish a 4 year degree before I retire. I'm also slowly plugging away at my songwriting. I don't know if it will ever accomplish anything, but it won't be because of a lack of trying. Just figure out a way to work toward your goals. Even baby steps count!

At this point, I have NO clue. Right now I'm just going to knock out a couple of basics and try to spend some time thinking about what I'd like to do. I'd probably LOVE to get a degree in sound engineer, but who knows?
