Sometimes When I despressed, I would like a guy to share my emotion, to listen to me at least, then I would dig out the friend in my cellphone list. Finally I recognized that apart from my colleagues in the list, seldom classmate name showed. Suddenly I am aware that a lot of old friend(classmates) lost of contact after I get into the career job. How about you? How many classmate you still keep in touch to share your daily life after you leave your school, no matter junior or high school or after college?

I haven't even been away from high school a year yet and I've realised how difficult it is to keep in touch, especially when you no longer live in the same city. Although upon leaving school we all promised that we'd keep in touch and everything, the truth is, I only still keep in touch with a handful of school friends. It's a little disappointing, but at least I get to discover who my true friends were. I think a massive thing was me moving away from my home city. Pretty well everyone I knew stayed back and went to university in the same city so they still all see each other at uni and stuff, but us who move away...it's even more difficult. But thank God for the magic of the internet! I can barely imagine how hard it must have been to keep in touch before facebook, email and the internet. I still write letters back home sometimes, but facebook and IM just makes it so much more convenient.

Hi Sasalove, I am in touch with only one person from my school days. She was my best friend in high school and though she keeps vanishing randomly we are in touch via e-mail so she counts. I didn't want to stay in touch with anyone else from high school, college or university though. I generally liked the people I was in lectures/classes with, but I am not the type to socialise or connect in reality, and so I never really became friends with anyone after high school. I have made more of my friendships on-line and I imagine I will keep in touch with these people in the future, but no one from school. (Not unless I become successful and want to gloat lol!) All the best Dranz

I am not in touch with anyone that I went to school with even though I live in the same town that I went to school from 4th grade and up and now I am almost 50. It's sad, sometimes I do wonder what happened to some of the people I went to school with.

It's hard to contact my classmates now days, most of them are working in different states. Some migrate or furthering their studies to other country. At least thanks to Facebook and Friendster, we manage to keep in touch. But in my cellphone there's only a few number that I can call and they are really close friends.

Those I am still in touch with are the ones that I have spent much time with at school. When you spend years, being friends with someone, it would seem rather strange that you stop all further contact with them, after graduation. You may talk them less frequently, but since they were such a big part of your growing up, the friendship should still remain in tact, no matter how little you see or talk to each other. I have one such friend that is remembered when her birthday comes around, when the Holidays come around, we send e-mails back and forth every so often. We hardly see each other, but that is not what matters; it is the appreciation of a friendship that is keeps it intact.

I am in touch with a lot of my school mates, some are collage mates,some are middle school friends. We often contacted with e-mail, qq, mobile phone and occasionally came out together to chat,go shopping,etc. Most of us cannot relate frequently, but we still feeling good. Once I have difficulty, they will always lend me a helping hand. I think this is a friend.

After my graduation, I seldom keep in touch with my old classmates. Most of us work in different cities and have our own lives. I am not sure that we still understand each other. If I have something to share, I will write it out in my space.

Two. Amongst lost contacts and the jerks, I only really found two people interesting enough and who didn't disappeared, with whom I was able to keep contact. Not a big loss to be sorted down to just a pair if you ask me, since it seems everyone else was just too dumb to care for a proper social relation.

I still keep in touch with some of my classmates once in a while. Some of them are still sending text messages everyday. We still managed to update each other about the latest happenings among the group. We sometimes go out for dinner, although it is very hard for us to set a common date wherein all of us will be present since our schedules are not the same anymore. We often plan for get together parties, or simple food trips and also swimming. We highly value the importance of the group that is why we always make it a point to get in touch with each other.
