I'm not really in touch with anyone who went to my high school (except for my brother), but I am in touch with friends I had while I was in high school. My best friend from childhood on (including high school) was just here visiting me last week, in fact! But she and I never went to the same school. I'm not in touch with my two "best friends" who went to my high school and whom I only knew in high school.

No, I still see a few people I used to hang out with at school but my best friends all moved away. I do plan on getting in contact with them again, as I've seen their names on friendsreunited, but I'm kind of stuck in a "well if he wanted to get in touch with me, he would have e-mailed *me* by now!" rut.

I am just barly one year into college, and going back for a second Monday.

This summer, I haven't hardly visited any of my friends, and they don't reply to my emails for some reason. (I think its laziness)

But this might be just a phase we're going trought, and we might get together some time, then again, we might not. Answering this survey to me is almost like I was still in HS, but then again, I AM NOT. I don't know what to say.

I'm still in high school (ninth grade). But I think I will always remain close to my friends...I've remained close to the ones I had in elementary, at least  * smile * But isn't that what everyone says? "We all have fun and get along and understand each other so well, we'll never lose touch" and then, bam, 10 year old high school reunion and it's all like "is that really her? Is she fat or what?"...

Never had any best friends in high school. I was always zoned out like someone from another planet because I had (have) Aspergers syndrome, and I would not recognize any of the people from back then anyway. I wanted only to forget about this horrific era of my life.

I'm still in school, hopefully I'll still be in touch with some of my friends when I'm older, there are a few I definatly wouldn't want to lose contact with.

I just recently got back in touch with two of them. We send e-mails a lot, and are planning to go out to dinner sometime soon.

My closest friends during that time are all people that I knew long before high school. We've always called ourselves 'the circle'... A lot of them have had children or gotten married and kinda drifted away.. so we don't keep in touch as much but I still consider them to be very close to me. I have this awesome picture of most of us together. We look pretty ragged standing in the parking lot at OZfest in Pittsburgh... but I have it framed and it's the most important picture I have hanging up.

People that I met in high school... no, I don't keep in touch with them.. I have too many friends and not enough time.

I just got back from a little vacation, where I spent four days at my parent's place on Saltspring Island. Their place is on a lake. I took one of my buddies, and his two kids (aged 12 & 10). My buddy and I have been friends since the summer after I finished junior high school and he was just about to enter his final year of junior high. So I guess that would qualify. On the way home yesterday, we stopped and visited another friend who we have also known since junior high. I (we) have five other friends from junior high/elementary school. I've seen four of them in the last few months. The other one moved to a little town about 300 km northwest of Vancouver (Sicamous pop. 3,100). We've all kind of lost touch with him since then.

I occasionally swap e-mail with some folks from high school, but not often.

Yes, I still see my friend, Holly, from school quite often. We've been friends since we were both 9 years old, went to grade school and high school together. We both had babies within 2 weeks of each other, so we have a lot in common still. And another of my good friends, Sarah. We've been friends just as long and talk to each other once in a while, or e-mail. We don't get together as much as Holly and I do, though.

I get together with my 2 best friends from high school. We actually went to grammar school together too. So we've known each other a long time. We've picked up a few others to broaden our group along the way and lost a few through disagreements and moves. But, yes, we still get together. Although it's hard!

I still get together with my very best friend from high school. The others I see occasionally and we exchange cards and sometimes e-mails.

I communicate with just one. I write because she lives in Malta now. We meet up on the rare occasions when she isn't in the country. We've been best friends since primary school. We were each others life through good times and bad. She shaped my personality and vice versa. The rest dwindled away.

I'm still in touch with a few people from my secondary school which I left in 2000. There are still people that I miss from there though and I'm hoping to get email addresses for them soon (they're certain to be given email addresses when they start at university).

I only left my sixth-form in June of this year, so it hasn't really been long enough to say whether I'm in touch with my friends from there. I've seen my main group of friends several times over the holidays but I have other very close friends who aren't part of that group who I only saw on results day. I think we'll keep in touch a lot more when we've gone to university (those of us who are going).

By staying in touch, I tend to think of regular contact. But without that, I still consider people to be my friends because I know that if we ever met up, we'd still be friends  * smile *

Are you sure that they're paid up members of the site? If they aren't, they won't be able to email you via the site and the site-owners are very good at deleting email addresses from profiles whatever tricks you use to put them in.

No, they're probably not paid up members. But then my profile has my e-mail addy hidden in it, in a way that is fairly obvious to anyone with half a brain (ie - anyone I'd actually want to get back in touch with) that reads it, but near impossible to picked up by a computer

Well.. its about time I changed my details on this thing. I registered in February and hardly anyone was here at all. Just (my_name) and a few other names. Now look (at) it! (y a h o o)!

I'm still working in Nottingham as 3rd line support on a technical helpdesk, although not for a dotcom company, or even a (dot co dot uk) company.

Would love to hear from you!

I didn't have a "best" friend in high school. There were some people I hung out, but we weren't close. I still talk with a girlfriend I grew up with. She lived three houses down from me until we each got married and moved away. We started being friends when we were in diapers and I joke that we'll be friends until we're in diapers again.

I've only kept in touch with my best friend. I last saw him about 1 month ago. The city he lives in is near my parents so whenever I visit them I get together with him. We also keep in touch by e-mail and the occasional phone call.
