I finished my schooling some 15 years ago..But still I have contact with my school friends. We are a small group of 4 friends..We do send mails and converse very often. Though we meet just once or twice in a year, we keep in touch through mails and calls.How about you? Do you still have contacts with your school friends?

After I graduated I didn't look back. It wasn't until Facebook came along that I caught back up with my high school friends. Now I've been reacquainted with people I lost touch with. Its nice to see how they are doing and how many kids they have.

Sadly not, I didn't have that many close friends at school, I wasn't that popular and had a few friends, some even went onto different schools and we lost contact, I think I had two friends who I kept in contact with but as the years went on the connection just vanished, I guess you grow out of them and things happen. I did join Friends United but I was worried that certain undesirable people from school would contact me like bullies and I had more bullies than friends and school for me was NOT a place I want to remember fondly, I hated it, so I guess in a way I don't want memories of something that made me unhappy in my life. Sure it was a shame that I lost contact with the few friends I did have but hey that was 23 years ago now.

I don't maintain contact with anyone from school. I graduated in the early 70's and didn't have any friends to speak of because I was the butt of every joke in school. People hated me. I don't know why. I even changed schools my last year and it was better but I had a group that pretended to be my friends while they made fun of me behind my back. Obviously, I was lacking in proper social skills! I wouldn't want to have anything to do with people from any of the schools I went to. It's great that you have friends from school that you've enjoyed for so many years! Friends are the icing on the cake of life so treasure them. It's great that people stay in touch like that!

Hi smilyn, I am still in contact with some of my school friends. When ever we are free and all of us have holidays we still meet each others. So we are also in contact over the phone or throught the mails. Have a great day.

I still stay in touch with some of them. It's mostly over the internet. I flew down and saw a few of my old friends a few years ago. I hadn't seen them in 12 years. In another 5 years or so I'll fly and see them again. It's a very expensive trip and I can't afford to do it very often. Apart from the flight, I have to pay for a kennel for my dog and someone to come to the house and take care of my cats. Then I take on cat to be re-homed and that costs me $500 for it's plain ticket.

yes, I still have contacts with some of my friends in college and some in high school, nowadays that facebook lets you connect with your old buddies. I get to meet my college friends once in a while and still planning to meet again soon.

Yeah. I do still have contact with my old friends. I am still communicating to my high school and college friends up now even with my elementary friends. With the technology we have right now considering that social networking sites are here and there, you can always find an easy way to get in touch with people you have known in the past. Thanks to network sites because they paved way for me and my friends to still keep updated with each other aside from having contacts and spending some time chatting on the phone.

I graduated more than a year ago and I haven't seen many of my college and even high school friends. But, we keep on communicating with each other during our free time. We used to send messages through cellphone or through chatting in facebook. We also planned of having a reunion this month before new year comes.

Oh Yes!How can we forget our good old school friends.That is the pure friendship without any expectations or calculations we got in our life.I have only a handful of school day friends and I don't miss them.Even they are located in different cities now,we don't fail to meet whenever there is a chance.And the modern technology with net and cell phones is serving a lot to nourish our friendship.

I speak to a few old school friends but to be honest I am not the person I was when I was at school and some of my old school friends just irritate me now lol, time moves on and people change some for the better and some for the worst. So I talk to prob 2 of my old school friend's the rest just annoy me now.

I just recently finished highschool so I am still in touch with most of my highschool friends. However, my friends from junior high and elementary are harder to get in touch because it's been so long. Even though I have friended some on Facebook, it's still a bit weird to try and talk to them after so long of not contacting them in any way. But for the most part, I can contact many of the friends that I've had throughout my school years over Facebook if I wanted to.
