After grade school did you stay in touch with your closest friends through high school?

Question

i am graduating from grade school this june. my class size is 46. There are 6 girls that I am very very close with. two of them have been my best friends since kindergarten. 5 of them are going to the same high school as me (private all girls school - class size = 120 girls) the other one is going to an archdiocesan high school. I won't see her a lot.

so 2 questions..
1) do you think that even though we will be making new friends, the other 5 girls and I will remain friends?
2) do you think that we will most likely lose touch or stay in touch with the other friend?

some of my best guy friends are going to an all boys school that does a lot of things with my school. do you think i can stay in touch with them too?


thanks so much!! and please only respond if you have had experience with this.

Answer 1

you'll be making new friends. but as long as once you meet them, you introduce them to your other friends. so this way, your old friends will be friends with your new friends. and vice versa. make sure they do that same thing is what i mean. then try not to abandon them. i made that mistake in a way. they slipped away from me and now i have to keep trying to get them back. i mean it's easy, but it's not the same as it used to be.



to your second question, STAY IN TOUCH, STAY IN TOUCH, STAY IN TOUCH ! lol that's all i can tell you. when you hangout with your friends, MAKE SURE SHE COMES TOO! it's simple really.



i think you're over thinking this actually. lol. but i thought of the same things. it happens to everyone. just MAKE SURE that



first) DO NOT ditch them for new friends. unless they become everyone's friend too. then it's the same as hangingout with one of your good friends. this way they don't get all mad and talk behind your back because you're hangingout with someone that they don't really like.



next) stay in touch with them always. plan a movie night every friday at eachothers houses and don't invite new people. then you can all hangout and everything.



and with the guy thing, it's the same thing that applies to the girls. hangout with them and like, talk to them online all the time. drop them a call. idk lol. same things basically.



hope that helped(:

good luck !



and remember, don't over think these kind of things. ;]

Answer 2

It's all on you, if you try to stay in touch you will, if you don't, you won't.



I still stay in touch with all my friends from middle school. Facebook helps a lot with the people who went to different schools. The only person I don't keep in touch with is my best friend who decided to join the really girly/preppy girls. I think she thinks she's too good for me now. But that's all. She doesn't talk to anyone from my school anymore.

Answer 3

I was best friends with this one girl from preschool to second grade. We just stopped talking, cause we were in different classes.



Girls I was friends with in grade school were mean in middle school, so I didn't talk to them anymore.

The guys I was best friends with in grade school and I were friends from 3rd to 8th grade. Once we got to high school, we kind of drifted away.



You might still stay friends with them, for the first year, but as you go on, you may make better friends (people change. They may turn into major brats for all you know) or may introduce other friends to the group, etc.

Answer 4

You will make different friends through high school, but you will stay in touch with your closest friends.3 of my friends went to different schools and its been 4 years and i still stay in touch with the 2 im closest with.

Answer 5

It all depends on you. Transition to high school is always different to many people.



Some girls will "change" and will hang out with a different group of people.



Then there will always be the people that stay loyal and hang out with their old friends.

Answer 6

Most people lose touch with their grade school friends, in all reality.

Answer 7

Answer 8

If you make an effort, no doubt they will remain as your friends.

Answer 9
