Old school friends...

theres a few i wanna meet up with just to see how they are as i had a great laugh in school loved it! And a family i kinda grew up with in my street id like to try and meet again two kids were quite young and there was a daughter my age. Just wanna see what every 1 is upto now adays tho really. No doubt some of em are in really good jobs and have a huge house or summink tho :(
 
I don't keep in touch with any. One headed back to America a couple of years after university and a couple of others were pretty much going the way of junkies so I stayed well clear. I few other "classmates" I've seen and they're pretty much dole scroungers now.

When I see them I'm glad I was the computer geek at school as I've now got a semi-decent job out of it. :)
 
See 2 of them every time I go to London, will be moving in with them when I finally make the journey back down south.
 
I've been walking past this guy on my way to work. didn't recognise him so i didn't say anything. recently it's dawned on me who he is. he's changed quite a bit. i haven't changed physically that much so i'm sure he knows who i am.
now i can't bring myself to start saying hi. i was never the best of mates with him so it doesnt seem worth the effort

anyway, i still see 2 of my proper school mates regularly
 
every time i go clubbing i see this 1 kid there and i end up seeing him and he looks back at me as if we know each other. He reminds me of some 1 went to school with and i aint sure if its him rofl i dont wanna go and say something in case it aint. He was a good mate in school tho so may be worth a shot if i see him again.
 
Most of my old school friends are spread out across the country now, from what I can gather...

I only really keep in touch with a couple - one on ICQ on the rare occassions we're both online at the same time, and my long term best mate - we travel to see eachother a few times a year (he's in Scotland, I'm on the south coast now...)

Other than that, I've lost touch with them all...
 
I keep in contact with one but it's just cards at Christmas sort of thing. We moved a lot when I was growing up, in fact until I was in my mid twenties so never really got to know anyone for more than about 2.5 years before moving on somewhere else. Longest real friend I have, I have known for 6 years or so I guess, I can't ever imagine losing contact with them now.
 
I'm in touch with a couple of mates from school. Never had a massive circle of friends. I work with one of them, go out now and again with another. And one has moved up to Cumbria a few years ago. I'm going to watch Stoke City with him on Sunday, for the first time in 8 years

More friends are through university tbh.
 
I keep in contact via email with a couple but that's it.

I moved from my home town to Newcastle straight after my GCSE's finished so it was difficult to stay in touch :(
 
I keep in contact with the closest of my friends quite easily. I think i'll know them for a long time to come. One of my closest friends moved about a year and half ago, but he lives near my uni so I see him now and again. Another guy from my school I actually ended up working part-time with for 3 years and we know eachother incredibly well. A few of my closest friends now, I got along with school, but considered them more peers. How times change. MSN has helped keep in contact with a few odd people :P
 
Nope I never really see any of them. I did meet one last week though and she wants to get a couple of us together for a drink so that should be fun.
It's really quite scary when I realise how long ago I left school :eek:
 
I speak to a couple of them occasionally, but I don't make much effort any more. All of my school friends went off in different directions very quickly after we left. I don't think we really have anything in common any more though.
 
Thinking 'back in the day' I kept in touch with all my friends from 6th form for about 6 months. By the time first summer came around, I was only half bothered about seeing most of them. Generally the meeting points would be friends birthdays which fell in Christmas or Easter holidays. By the second summer of university, I was down to possibly half a dozen people I actively contacted or lived by. Roll on another two years and I might have seen one or two people randomly when out and about.

Many of my friends from 6th form either didn't go to uni, or went to the local uni. Whenever I came back from uni further afield (5 hours away by car, 5.5 by train, thank you public transport!) my 6th form friends were still in the same social groups, hardly bothering to meet new people, still going to the same pubs and clubs. Though they were 3 or 4 years older, it seemed like most had never moved on, and I felt it was somewhat sad in that respect. Being so far away from home had also changed me, I've no doubt about that, I didn't see the 'lad's mentality' as a pivitol thing anymore and so nights out weren't the same back home.

Perhaps it was inevitable, but by 4 years out of school, I bearly saw anyone, and now I see perhaps one person a year, again pretty much by complete fluke or my parents saying "I heard your old friend Lloyd is now doing.....".

Thinking back to 6th form I remember thinking 'How will we all ever grow apart', now I think 'How could we have ever not?'
