Anyone NOT have contact with high school classmates?
Posted by jackie879@reddit | Xennials | View on Reddit | 666 comments
Many in my high school friend circle turned out to be....not good people. Some are in prison, have been in prison, or are drifting through life making poor choice after poor choice.
Others took a better path in life, but I lost contact with them for one reason or another.
I don't feel the need to reconnect with anyone from high school. Anyone else?
Alternative-Eye7589@reddit
The only person from high school I've seen in years is my high-school boyfriend but that's because we had a kid and we still live together. May have a little interest in seeing how a few turned out but not enough to do anything about it.
YouthOk7217@reddit
Don’t talk to anyone from high school, but love to catch up if I bump into one or hear skuttle from my parents. Deleted FB 10 years ago. Never had IG or any other social other than LinkedIn.
I’m doing a-okay in my book.
yamahowzer@reddit
Nope. I left for the military after high school, stayed in touch with a few close friends through those years, moved back to a different town when I got out and then across the country a few years later.
Was back in my home state visiting about 10 yrs ago and tried to reconnect with some peeps over fb but quickly found out we all had nothing left in common once I got outta Hicksville.
this_might_be_a_test@reddit
When I got out… Sounds like you were in prison.
yamahowzer@reddit
They have a lot in common, from what I understand, never been to prison
PickledPixie83@reddit
Same. Left my hometown at 19, joined the military, moved cross country, go out of the military, moved 5 hours away from my hometown. It was a lot harder to keep track of your people pre-Facebook/myspace era, so I lost touch with a ton of people. Went back recently for Easter and I only saw my family. Actually prayed that I would not see anyone I knew in public. lol.
MadCraftyFox@reddit
Me. I have a couple people on my facebook but we don't message each other or anything. They were the ones who sent me a friend request, i've never gone looking anybody up. I don't understand wanting to go to high school reunions either. I escaped, why would I want to see any of these people again?
BananasPineapple05@reddit
I don't think anyone would be surprised that the high school "loser" didn't stay in touch with the people who spent years impressing upon her that she was such a loser.
Wombat_Nudes@reddit
Same. All those people can eat a dick.
morrisboris@reddit
Yeah I didn’t even want to go to prom. Why would I want to hang out with all of these assholes voluntarily?
walter_grimsley@reddit
Same here. At the time I felt that I basically confirmed my loser status by not going. Later I realized going would have likely been a much, much bigger mistake.
Impressive-Banana-78@reddit
I went but an hour later my buzz was starting to wear off. Told her let’s ditch this and go to the beach and get high. She told me it was the best prom night!
Burlington-bloke@reddit
WHAT???? Listen, I was on the prom committee, I took it very serious! The Prom was open to everyone provided: the men wore a tuxedo and the girls wore a floor length evening dress. The rules were a bit stricter for the girls of course. If your dress didn't have sleeves, the straps had to be 2 inches wide. You COULD wear a sleeveless dress, provided you wore a bolero. I did have to ask the chaperones to remove one girl who showed up in a cocktail frock that barely covered her knees! What was she thinking???? My friends always wore custom dresses, but off the rack was acceptable. If you didn't mind getting side eyes from everyone. "Oh look Becky came, and she's wearing a dress from Sears bargain basement. How nice for her..." Becky got knocked up just after high school and never worked a day in her life. The county eventually came in and took her four illegitimate children away because of an unsafe living environment. Her boyfriend at the time was doing the really bad drugs that you need a needle to take! He was also caught with inappropriate images on his computer. VERY inappropriate! That's a true story, though I did change the names because I'm such a nice guy. Oooooo should I tell you guys about her younger sister ... ummm ... let's call her Betty? It's not quite as scandalous but, if you want to have five children with five different baby daddies... I guess that's none of my business But my taxes do fund her lifestyle.
Inside_Drummer@reddit
A whole bag of dicks even.
Ice_crusher_bucket@reddit
With spoiled muatard
Dry-Discount-9426@reddit
Why did a bag of dicks not phase me but with spoiled mustard ruined my appetite.

Lmao! New phrase unlocked!
jesushada12inchdick@reddit
You never know what folks have going on. Dude I knew that was kind of a bully, I glued his locker shut in HS after he fucked with me once.
He committed suicide in like 2007 or so.
Point is, some folks you just see the ugly tip of the iceberg and it’s uglier down below.
BananasPineapple05@reddit
Oh, I know. This is what my parents always said when I came home crying. "They probably come from a very unhappy home. You should try being kind to them. See what happens."
Busy_Raisin_6723@reddit
That crap don’t work!
Cool_Dark_Place@reddit
Had a bully that I got in a locker room fight with in 6th grade after he shoved me off the bleachers during PE. The coach broke it up before we could really hurt each other, and he wound up getting punished much worse than me. We actually wound up sorta becoming friends by the end of the year, and he definitely had some shit going on at home.
DirectorLanky466@reddit
You are speaking for a lot of us ( I felt the same being a short girl with glasses)
LaRoseDuRoi@reddit
I had the other end of that one... tallest girl in class, with glasses. And bright red hair.
carriestewbert@reddit
I think we may be twins. You just described me.
neonblackiscool@reddit
That's kinda a flex as an adult though. I'm a ginger too, but not bright. Nobody ever gave me shit about it like the orange-reds.
kellybelly4815@reddit
Don’t be so hard on yourself; I’m sure you’re at least of average intelligence.
DirectorLanky466@reddit
Above actually I never let the blond jokes get me down!! I don't know where the dumb blond jokes came from but I have seen some pritty dumb people of all hair colors lol!!
neonblackiscool@reddit
I'm not that smert somtimes but you;re kind.
LaRoseDuRoi@reddit
My hair got a little darker as I got older, more auburn than orange. Now I'm starting to go white, so it's looking more blonde!
neonblackiscool@reddit
Ya the path of the ginger always goes this way :) I touch mine up a bit brighter now bc it fades over time. There's more blonde in it now though naturally, a few whites.
DirectorLanky466@reddit
Ohh I'm a blond!! When I was young it was bleach blond (naturally) but now it's a strawberry dirty blond. (Moms a red head dad was light brown and my brother and I ended up blond. )
LaRoseDuRoi@reddit
My husband has dark hair and eyes, but 3 of our kids are blonde with green or hazel eyes, and 1 is a redhead. Genetics are fascinating.
neonblackiscool@reddit
Not short, but horribly awkward and late diagnosed as a neurodivergent freak.
rosemerry77@reddit
Also a short girl with glasses.
Kurigunde@reddit
Short girl but fat since I ate my feelings (bullied heavily all through school)
neonblackiscool@reddit
They were fucking rude to me, why would I want to be friends now?
Puzzleheaded_Race_90@reddit
Hope you know, you never deserved that crap
BananasPineapple05@reddit
Thank you, kind Internet stranger. That means a lot.
Puzzleheaded_Race_90@reddit
Airways, friend. I know the feels.
UnderH20giraffe@reddit
I had people holding me down and punching me almost every day… I don’t think about them ever, but every once in a while someone reaches out to apologize and I say, “How’s the 12 step program going?”
DenvahGothMom@reddit
Wow. None of them have ever apologized to me. From the looks of their social media, though, they're too busy crying about their very personal grief over the death of Charlie Kirk and ~~being entrepreneurs!~~ getting scammed by MLMs. Meh, enjoy basic mediocrity, assholes. Did being a football player/cheerleader and treating everyone else like shit pay off the way you thought it would? Cause almost three decades out, it sure doesn't look like it did.
moonbunnychan@reddit
One of my highschool bullies reached out on FB to apologize to me and...I don't care that it's not very big of me or that they weren't an adult at the time....no...I don't forgive them. They and their friends made my life a living hell for 4 years and left me with self esteem issues I even now haven't shaken off.
andiinAms@reddit
Totally your choice not to forgive them, you’re certainly not required to.
mom_bombadill@reddit
Same. Those people mean nothing to me.
Bearded_Pip@reddit
Same. I remember running into someone a couple years later and he apologized saying "we did not treat you very nicely." I realized right then that I did not want their apologies.
chocki305@reddit
It's the same reason I will never use my real name on social media.
The few people I would want to contact me from high school, know my phone number. The rest can eat a bag of dicks.
rosemerry77@reddit
Same
DickBurns01@reddit
Hey look everyone! Remember that ugly kid? Well now he's an ugly adult!
No thanks. I'll just continue to stay away
ConnectKale@reddit
This right here.
desertdweller2011@reddit
same here!
LVL4BeastTamer@reddit
I’m not in contact with anyone from high school and I have no interest in reconnecting. I don’t think any of them turned out to be bad people. I just don’t want to live in the past.
The_Long_Blank_Stare@reddit
Barely any contact with any of them. People just go their separate ways; that fact isn’t necessarily good or bad. It just is what it is.
Turbulent-Corgi-4965@reddit
2000 grad. Deleted FB in 2011, moved 3000 miles away, never looked back.
Impossible_Balance11@reddit
Most of mine went hard MAGA, so no.
genesimmonstongue415@reddit
I have 1 friend from HS, that's it. I moved 3000 miles away from that joint & I'm glad.
Low_Fig9237@reddit
Me. I moved schools and never made any lasting friends. Also, high school felt like being forced to hang around people I’d never consider associating with elsewhere. Like some kind of social experiment.
Easy-Extreme84@reddit
Nope. I don’t use social media (other than Reddit) & I am not connected with anyone from high school. I went to HS in an area I did not grow up in but most folks at the school had known each other their whole lives. I was always on the outside & never deeply connected with anyone.
Jovial_Candidate_508@reddit
I am still good friends with the same 5 guys I went to middle school with . It’s the best thing I’ve got .
Busy_Raisin_6723@reddit
Oh HELL NO. I went to a private Christian school all 12 years and I hated it. My friends all got to go away to college but guess who’s parents declined that request, therefore I was cut out and off. I’ve run into a couple of them over my younger years but the conversation always felt fake/false to me. No I haven’t and yes I’m glad!
Kygma@reddit
Yeah. I got bullied pretty bad in high school, and ended up just quitting and getting my GED so I could start college early.
I don’t keep in touch. Moved several states away in any case.
Ok-Royal-661@reddit
not one. They are all shit. Good riddance
Luzon79@reddit
Not here, although I moved to a different country so that makes things more challenging even if I wanted to stay in touch. But I don't have any desire to.
urfriendflicka@reddit
I have actual real life contact with exactly 1 (one) person from high school, and he's my daughter's godfather and married my favorite cousin. I'm pretty sure I have more in my fb friends list, but not only do I not use Facebook anymore, but I've never actually contacted any of them, just accepted requests I received in my 20s.
In the first few years immediately after graduation, I kept up with more people, but eventually grew apart. It helps that the 1 person I still talk to excels at low maintenance friendship so we communicate mostly via memes. Even when life gets crazy, it's not hard to find a meme to forward to someone.
Pasadenaian@reddit
None at all.
Dickrubin14094@reddit
Beyond Facebook, no I’m not in touch with people. I’ve got my close friends from pre-high school, and friends I’ve made after high school. Anyone I met during those 4 years I’m not in contact with in person, and I’m fine with that
Si_Titran@reddit
Not a singular one. I moved cross country and my social media isnt anything they knew me as.
Heart_Dad@reddit
I ran into a classmate a year or two after graduation. I think that's the last time I interacted with anyone from high school. So 20+ years at this point.
Usual-Bag-3605@reddit
I don't talk to a single person that I went to high school with.
lathamfalls@reddit
None at all. I do wish I did with just a few of them I had felt were good friends then.
Caliyogagrl@reddit
I’ve never been invited to a class reunion even, so no, not in touch. Would love to reconnect with my elementary school class though.
LFahs1@reddit
I found out recently that, because I was voted to be class treasurer (at my tiny hs where that title was purely perfunctory), I was supposed to be organizing our class reunions for the past 30 years. Oops!
socksonachicken@reddit
Zero contact. Not because I didn't like them, I just have better things to do.
IamAhabTx@reddit
I have one friend I consistently keep in touch with, but I've known him since kindergarten. I have no reason to keep in touch with anyone from high school, let alone feign interest at a psuedo obligatory reunion every 10 years.
Stevesd123@reddit
I'm in contact with exactly one of them.
Low-decibel@reddit
Only use it fir marketplace to be honest, 0 contacts from the school I was at, 0 contacts from college aswell.
Slytherpuffy@reddit
I still have some on my Facebook but they either don't post hardly at all or they died or just stopped logging in. My best friend from school is technically not a school friend. Our families were friends before we were even born. We just went to the same schools growing up. I'm planning on attending her wedding in the fall but we don't talk very much anymore. Another of my close friends from school just decided to stop talking to or hanging out with anyone except his family. He will not respond to any attempts at contact. I ran into him about three or four years ago and he explained it to me and said it wasn't anything I did. He gave me a hug and that was that. I run into people occasionally and we have a little chat but it doesn't go beyond that.
Yellow_Curry@reddit
I’m sure they are good people but I moved away when I was 18 and only go back to see my family. I do see some college roommates who I was friends with in high school but not the same grade. I probably haven’t seen someone I graduated with in 20 years.
97Whaler@reddit
Never had a FB account and may have seen 4 or 5 classmates since I graduated and none for 25 plus years
Bad-Moon-Rising@reddit
I'm friends with several people on Facebook, but I don't have any other contact with them. I also don't really look at Facebook anymore; I need to delete my profile, tnh.
Isanyonelistening45@reddit
I deleted Facebook 14 years ago. Wish I would have done it sooner.
walter_grimsley@reddit
Got off FB when my we were having trouble conceiving. Wife's stream was naturally a flood of babies and toddlers belonging to cousins, HS friends, bridesmaids and so on. I ripped the tablet away from her, turned off her account and did the same to mine. No regerts
SPuDnutt@reddit
Not even one?
NekoMumm@reddit
Not a single letter!

Checktheusernombre@reddit
2016 was it for me. When I saw the cesspool of election disinfo and my friends and family all falling for it, I had enough.
peridot7@reddit
Same. 2016 is also when I also finally figured out what they, Amazon, and Google were doing with my data.
BeBopBarr@reddit
100% this. My friends list got a lot smaller after 2016 and then much, much smaller in 2024. Now it's quality over quantity.
FirehawkLS1@reddit
I quit it in 2017. Haven't looked back or missed it ☺️
Dimplefrom-YA@reddit
deleted mine 10 years ago
elmoosh@reddit
Same here. Exactly the same. I deleted my profile for good last year and haven’t missed it a bit, sadly.
OtisPimpBoot@reddit
This is spot on for me. I’ve run into some of them here and there and back before Facebook was a cesspool I had accepted friend requests from several of them, but now I avoid that crap as much as I can.
alett146@reddit
Same. My boomer parents and all their friends are addicted to FB and I’m like nah I’ll pass lol
Puzzleheaded_Race_90@reddit
Every time I go on Facebook, I see an announcement that someone i used to know is gone now. I've... just stopped going on
neonblackiscool@reddit
It's basically deathbook now. Another reason I hate it.
Puzzleheaded_Race_90@reddit
That's...One way to put it. And way too accurate
No9No9No9No9@reddit
Yes! It's a graveyard of dead friendships and fake connections. I only use it for my business page now, and messages. I've deleted a lot of frivolous contacts... may we always be picky about the company we keep!!!
Puzzleheaded_Race_90@reddit
Dead friendships, and dead friends. Yuck
TurtleSandwich0@reddit
You have no idea how many lives you saved by making that decision.
Puzzleheaded_Race_90@reddit
Honestly feels that way
desertdweller2011@reddit
the other day someone texted me a screenshot of an interaction we had like 12 yrs ago on fb. made me think the same - i felt like i was being haunted by the ghost of my past self lol
No9No9No9No9@reddit
Every time I log into Facebook, I delete every single memory. Slowly, I'm erasing myself, and it is liberating.
Upvoteexpert@reddit
Same for me too.
MyBestCuratedLife@reddit
The first time I randomly ran into a Facebook friend and ducked into an aisle to avoid them I knew I was done w that nonsense and deactivated my account. If I don’t want to see you in person, to the extent that I would hide, we don’t need to be friends lol!
EastCoastDizzle@reddit
This has happened to me so many times 😩
MyBestCuratedLife@reddit
I have to say, I feel less crazy seeing the response to this post!
Persis-@reddit
I won’t delete my Facebook, because I can still read comments from my mom, 14 years after she passed.
I have little other use for Facebook, but that connection keeps me somewhat active.
Crafty_Original_7349@reddit
Facebook is where I go when I’m in some kind of mood and need to become unreasonably angry.
It’s all rage bait and scams.
Bad-Moon-Rising@reddit
It's like pressing on a bruise.
MyBestCuratedLife@reddit
Yesssssss! This. Is. It!
ailish@reddit
I still have my account. I tried once to disable it and my mother got so upset that I wasn't listed as her daughter anymore, so I just let it sit there and rot. I haven't logged in to it for probably like 3, or 4 years, and the last time was to accept an event invite that someone insisted that they only do on Facebook.
korar67@reddit
Very much the same. There’s a few that I run into at the market occasionally, but aside from that it’s just social media. I have a hard enough time keeping in touch with my college friends.
neonblackiscool@reddit
same
Allenies@reddit
There was one I thought was a friend of mine til she backed a rapist just because he was her friends uncle. She came into my job a few weeks ago and tried to chat. Nope. Not only am I too busy, even if I wasn't, I'm too busy. To the trash with them all.
Dimplefrom-YA@reddit
me. don’t care anymore.
Illustrious-Crow-331@reddit
Haven't spoke to them since high school finished.
DBE113301@reddit
Zero contact here outside of my best friend growing up, and even with him, it's a very infrequent text. I moved halfway across the country mostly because I hated the town I grew up in and couldn't wait to leave.
WhatTheCluck802@reddit
I have one friend from elementary school onward who remains a friend to this day. Everyone else… no thank you.
airbagfailure@reddit
Im friends with 2 people from highschool. Everyone else I didn’t talk to again after. And they didn’t talk to eachother either.
Hedgehogosaur@reddit
I'm not great at keeping up with people who aren't in proximity, so I lost touch with high school mates I was at uni, and then soon lost touch with my uni mates soon after.
BenignAtrocities@reddit
I have a handful that I’m in contact with, never been to a reunion. That will change this year as it’s it 30th and I’m finally going.
Ok_Egg_2665@reddit
My two best friends in high school both turned out to be awful humans as adults. I don’t see anyone I went to school with often.
IkidIgoat@reddit
One of mine came back from Afghanistan hating Jews ✌️
kremlingrasso@reddit
Idk how that happened becuse there aren't any news in Afghanistan.
IkidIgoat@reddit
I think the trauma of being at war broke his fragile mind and he came back racist. It wasn’t due to any actual exposure to Jewish people.
Next-Honeydew4130@reddit
Did they get ahold of some bad gefilte fish or something? How does that even happen)
Ok_Egg_2665@reddit
Oh man, I’m sorry to hear that.
IkidIgoat@reddit
Also I am also sorry to hear about your friends becoming assholes. It’s very disorienting.
Ok_Egg_2665@reddit
Thanks! It was genuinely a shock to find out one was in jail for being a child molester and the other was a spousal abuser. These guys were like my brothers back in the day. I never saw it coming.
IkidIgoat@reddit
It sucked, and he didn’t seem to process that I and the other bestie are both of Jewish heritage. He was the person that introduced me to punk rock, which made it all the more bizarre.
He isn’t well, maybe he never was. I wish him and his third baby mama all the best and hope his mind can heal.
Seldarin@reddit
I've kept track of like ten people. The rest I mostly hear about talking to my mom when they get arrested or die and turn up in the paper, both of which happen with kinda disturbing frequency.
The arrests are mostly for either drugs or absolutely abhorrent sex crimes, the deaths are almost always drugs.
TrixieBastard@reddit
Not regularly, maybe once or twice a year. They aren't bad people, I'm just terrible at keeping in touch
MrsMethodMZA@reddit
I hated high school and everyone in it. I didn’t want to be in contact with them then and nothing has changed about that now. My best friend from high school- we keep in touch maybe once a year or so for the formalities of happy birthday and how are you but we live different lives and in different places.
Polar_Version875@reddit
Same. Not a one.
onions-make-me-cry@reddit
I'm not really in touch with anyone and I just don't care

I introduced a colleague to one of my high school friends and they ended up getting married. They are our best set of couple friends.
JazzlikeAd1555@reddit
Same. I couldn’t even name 10 people I went to high school with.
SlackerDS5@reddit
I talk to almost none of the people I went to high school with. The few I talk to is because we work in the same industry. Luckily those people are cool.
I think we are supposed to have a reunion this year, but I have no interest in going.
shaggy68@reddit
Mine all live in another country from the one i live in, so not a lot of contact.
Andro1d1701@reddit
Zero desire. Graduated before social media, no email until the summer I graduated. Didn't get a yearbook or write down phone numbers. There are maybe 3 people I wonder what happened to; they have never been the ones I've seen on reunion lists online. The few I connected with on Facebook, I ended up blocking. Had someone I hadn't talked to in 25 years reach out to me 2 months ago. They are on the way to felony criminal prosecution next month, probably were high when they messaged me. Morbid, but once in a while I look at the funeral home obits in my old home town 3 dudes I went to high school with died in the last year, all about 46.

ladyeclectic79@reddit
Nope! Didn’t have many friends back then, and while I’m Facebook-friends with a couple of them I don’t interact with any of them nor have I seen them since graduating in ‘97. A few do seem to have turned into decent folks but I couldn’t give a rat’s ass about most of them.
peridot7@reddit
I'm not in contact with anyone from high school. Really don't see the point; right after we graduated, most of my classmates spoke like those were the best years of our lives. And I thought, I sure as hell hope not!
Back_Alley420@reddit
I never made a friend in hs so not a problem
MasGatos_PorFavor@reddit
About 3 years ago, I suddenly received a WhatsApp invitation from a distant friend to join a group chat with all my “long-lost” classmates. Class of 2000! Whoo! 🙄 I had recently had my first child and was feeling guilty for not being more sociable, so I accepted and joined the chat. What a mistake. I spent the next two weeks receiving no less than 200 text messages a day (for reference, I went to boarding school in Kenya—I am not from there—and my graduating class had 22 people). It was the same drama, the same posturing, and the same egos. I was flabbergasted. It was overwhelming to me as a new mother, and there was no way to exit the chat without letting every person know I was leaving. But after a while I realized that none of these people actually cared about me or each other. I am only slightly close with one classmate (the one who invited me), so I sent her a message to warn her I was leaving, removed myself from the chat, and am infinitely happier for it. (I have only texted with her twice since that time.) She messaged me later saying there was a bunch of drama when I removed myself, but that just reinforced why I’m glad I have no part of that group any more. I think all of this to say, it’s going to depend on you, your classmates, and everyone’s ability to be genuine. The few classmates that I respected in high school were also the ones who were classy and mature in their comments and interactions on the group chat. I don’t think people intrinsically change that much unfortunately.
VirgoCapricornLibra@reddit
I don't have contact with any old high school classmates. Someone tried to rope me back in a few years ago but it was a hard no from me dawg.
Electrical-Pie-8192@reddit
I've seen a few around here and there, even played sports with a few many years ago after high school. I don't have any of their contact info and I'm ok with that. They aren't bad people, we just grew up and have different interests now
lessons_needed@reddit
Only person I’m still in contact with is my sister in law so I see her frequently when I go back home to visit. Otherwise, nope, not in contact with anyone from back then.
Funkopedia@reddit
Not a single one. Most that I knew I think were pretty successful last I heard, but that was awhile ago. If i don't see somebody on a regular basis, they really just don't exist.
Due-Mouse-9330@reddit
I am in contact with exactly one person from high school. HS was more than thirty years ago for me, and I make it a habit to try not to look back.
Secret-Potential485@reddit
I went to one reunion. I realized I had nothing in common with them then and still didn't at the reunion. I have one girl I could contact if I wanted to, but I don't. I only went to that HS for 11th and 12th. The school I went to from k-10- even less interest. The only one that matters is ny bestie since we were three. But that is more of a 52 year sisterhood.
No regrets.
Straight-Author-9287@reddit
Zero interest
jackfaire@reddit
I tried once but he'd cut me off in my Senior year because of the girl he was dating so it felt like catching up and then we just went our separate ways. We still both live in the same general metro area as far as I know unless he's moved. We just don't travel in the same social circles.
heart_blossom@reddit
I talk with a couple people, I'm coworkers with a couple, but I'm not friends with them. I wasn't friends with them in high school either.
Vilavek@reddit
I kinda had my highschool friendships in college because I didn't go to public highschool, but similarly I'm not in contact with any of the friends I made which were all very deep friendships back then for nearly a decade.
It's been 10+ years since then and we all sorta went our separate ways. People started families or ended up being not so great people or focusing on their careers or moving away etc. In hindsight I prefer the friendships I have now, they had their time and place.
Plane-Fan9006@reddit
Absolute zero
FRNLD@reddit
Outside of what I see on Facebook from classmates, I have 0 interaction with any of them at this point.
The last contact was an incidental encounter in a grocery store, where quick greetings were exchanged and the day carried on.
The last meaningful contact was with whom I thought was a good friend that I would remain friends with ended up in a really bad spot, ghosted everyone, ended up in rehab, is now in recovery. While in recovery called ro apologize and we started to talk again.... Then the ask for money... Not some cash... But a few months rent, when I basically said that's not possible, was ghosted again. So be it.

It’s better that way. Find your people. Just cause you grew up with them, almost makes it more unlikely they are truly yours.
For the people who were lucky enough to find their true tribe in HS.. more power to you. But man that is rare. Note - just because you still talk to HS people does NOT mean they are your tribe. It may be what’s holding you back. If not; it’s you holding them back probably.
UntilTheSilence@reddit
I haven't seen a single person from high school since I was early 20s. If it stays that way forever, I'd like that very much please and thank you.
mountednoble99@reddit
Facebook is the only connection I have with any of them except my best friend. We have been best buddies since we were 8 (we’re 44)
Illustrious-Group-99@reddit
I haven't spoken to anyone in 24 years. I keep in touch with teacher or former administrators
Kellzy1212@reddit
Nah. I have a few on social media, but i never interact with. We drifted because lives change. No hard feelings, but im living it up across the country as a single girl and almost all of them stayed in a crappy town and started families. We just don’t have anything in common.
MasterPhilip@reddit
If I cared, this year marks my 25th anniversary (graduated 2001). I can't remember the last time I spoke with anyone I went to school with. It has been well over a decade, probably two.
bobgoblin888@reddit
Intermittently on social media but I moved out of state after high school for college and never came back home.
SeniorLanguage6497@reddit
Now I do, but for years, I would just look at their profiles from afar. Lots of bullying in my high school. Things went on there that would never fly in 2026.

We all moved away because Detroit basically went to shit after we graduated.
WarTurbulent2063@reddit
I dropped out in the 10th grade, moved to another state. No classmates.com, no FB. No contact.
Zytharros@reddit
I’ve pulled from a lot of my social circles in high school due to life events like moving, changing churches, changing jobs, etc. i only regularly talk to like one person from high school anymore.
nottodaysatan317@reddit
Not one.

Not a one and couldn’t be happier. Reddit is the only “social media” I’m on.
YNABDisciple@reddit
A lot of my close friends were taken by heroin...I have about 5 that I still talk to at least every few months, and I live thousands of miles from that place.
Peelboy@reddit
I have a few as friends on FB but mostly due to me and my wife sharing an account and some of her friends were people I went to HS with. I have nearly zero contact with any, life is busy.
theimperfexionist@reddit
Saw a bunch of them a couple of years ago at a funeral. It was like a reunion, all excited and happy and taking group photos in the church. It was weird af and I Irish goodbyed.
Tldr: no
Throwaway_inSC_79@reddit
There’s 2 or 3 that I enjoy interacting with on FB. But honestly that’s rare too. I do think about that one girl who wrote in my yearbook to contact her when we’re both old and gray. And I wonder if when that was written did she mean in our 40s.
Fenrirs-Fang@reddit
My high school friends weren’t particular nice to me and I haven’t spoken to them since college. That suits me fine.
TacoNomad@reddit
I'm sure my friends are mostly good people. I just don't talk to them anymore.

My closest friend from highschool died eleven years ago (sadly missing Stranger Things, which she would have LOVED). I'm still IRL.friends with one other person and have a handful of Facebook "friends". I hated my hometown and left forever as soon as I could.
Soft-Performer5097@reddit
After 30 years, I've unfortunately seemed to have lost contact with all my high school friends. Oddly, I was just thinking about this the other day.
pupcakeonthelamb@reddit
Yeah, I lost touch after dropping out and moving states away. Then we touched base around 30, but have lost a fair amount to OD and suicide :( We all deserved better.
emmyg85@reddit
The only person from HS I still have contact with is my best friend. We met our senior year and have stuck with each other since. Neither of us have much to do with anyone else we went to school with.

No contact with any but one. My BFF. And her sister by extension.
Recently started working with an acquaintance from hs but they’re a good egg and we previously left on good terms.
No-Hospital559@reddit
Left Facebook over ten years ago. Haven’t talked to anyone from HS since.
alett146@reddit
One classmate but only superficially (like we send each other happy birthday texts cuz we share the same birthday month). And one other every now and again via FB we’ll message each other but I don’t really count either of those. I’m not really close friends with anyone from hs anymore and am sort of unemotional about it.

japhia_aurantia@reddit
I have a group of 6 close friends from high school, a handful more on social media, and it's enough.
OregonResident@reddit
One of my facebook “friends” has hit me up about high school reunions a couple times. She was very popular, I was not, and she never said more than two words two me in school. Why would she want me to come to a reunion? Because she’s in charge of getting people to show up. I politely declined her invitation and we continue to not interact on FB.
che_vos@reddit
I haven't had contact with anyone from high school since I graduated in 95. Have no desire to ever have contact with any of them. Hated those years.
Ear_Enthusiast@reddit
I still talk to 2 of them. They are not part of my inner circle.
ThinManagement2363@reddit
I married someone from high school but we weren't even friends in high school. I have a select few that I stay in contact with but that is it. Rarely see each other in person.
yespls@reddit
I'm still besties with my high school (well, actually, middle school) bestie and I talk to a couple of people still, but by and large no - they keep inviting me to reunions and I keep politely declining. Half of those people weren't great to me in high school and the appeal of rubbing their face in my success has long since worn off.
spineshade@reddit
I have one friend since 8th grade that I talk to.
That's it. The rest of the people from my school I could care less about lol. They didn't care to know me then. Why would I want contact now
Pick_Mindless@reddit
Never kept in contact with any of them after 1 year graduated.
ODB247@reddit
I have no contact with anyone from school. I don’t really have any feelings about them but I didn’t really have much in common with them back in the day and don’t care enough to try to connect. I live on the other side of the country and have zero interest in relative strangers that I shared a classroom with 30 years ago.
Anaxamenes@reddit
I have one friend I still talk to but she graduated with my brother so wasn’t even in my class. There is one other I would chat if I saw them but our lives are just different places. I’m disinterested in anyone else.
Longjumping-Air1489@reddit
No contact other than relatives.
jestingvixen@reddit
Zero contract is any kind with any of them. I'd be shocked if they recognised me. I give zero fucks about it at all. High-school was just a waypoint, long behind me. I was from Away and that was the end of that.

I did homeschool for 10-12. I am my high school classmate.

whythoyaho@reddit
I don’t.
CuriousLands@reddit
Me, but it's mostly cos we just went our separate ways eventually. One of my better friends from then turned into a bit of a psycho though. We were roommates for a bit with a couple guys (so it was me, a lady, and 3 guys), and by the end of it, hr was so bad that the guys wouldn't leave me at home alone, just in case my high school friend came back and nobody else was there. They were worried he'd do something messed up.
rogue1206@reddit
Facebook friends but we don’t talk. Sadly I know that they get together every once in a while. I’m never invited.

I have a couple of people I Facebook friended from high school, but I don't talk to any of them actively. I still see their posts from time to time.
My 30th reunion is coming up and I won't be attending.
sarithe@reddit
I talk to exactly 1 person that I went to high school with. He and I have been friends since 6th grade. We very rarely see each other in person these days, but we game together a couple nights a week with other friends of ours that we are in a Discord server with. We actually both live in the same state, but on opposite sides of it. We'll arrange a meetup for a concert or sporting event every now and then just to see each other in person and catch up.

rels83@reddit
My closest friends from high school aren’t on social media and I have no idea where they are. I have friends from that time in my life who I knew from outside of school. But the kids I hung out with in high school could be anywhere. It’s weird
MonkeyBred@reddit
Same end result... different reasons.
Most of my High School alumni were successful... generally good people who went on to pursue their passions. I have no contact with them because I'm an unrelenting introvert.
Mom2miracles@reddit
Nope not at all. Facebook gives me all the updates I need. I have stayed in contact with my closest friends but everyone else can go take a flying leap. Catholic school does that to you 🤪
GoodMorningDye@reddit
I haven't spoken to anyone since high school. I went to 3 and wasn't friends with anyone really. All my actual friends existed outside of my high schools.
Vintagemuse@reddit
I don't
MotherofaPickle@reddit
Pretty much. I text my best friend from middle school/high school every year on her birthday and she always ghosts me after about three texts.
I’m off Facebook now, so the one or two other people I wouldn’t mind connecting with have no way to contact me.
I’m a hermit, anyway, so no big deal.
RealisticSherbet6740@reddit
I have a handful that I still visit when I’m in town. However, the ones that were the nearest and dearest besties… nope. I haven’t spoken to those mean girls turned into old bitter hags in years.

I’m not friends with anyone anymore. I also don’t have Facebook and never went to a high school reunion.
Aggravating_Dirt8366@reddit
Understand how you feel, I have had a similar experience. I am friends with two people from high school. Not on social media (except for Reddit lol) and most no longer have my contact info. Best decision for me.

Yup. I have a mild interest in a couple people, but not enough to bother with it.
I haven't seen anyone from my class since graduation night, and I'm fine with that.

I literally know nobody from high school anymore. I don't count my brother of course, but I have no idea about anyone from high school.
This is fine with me.
SparklyTree_1754@reddit
There are 2-3 people from my HS days whose IG posts I’ll occasionally like, but only if the algorithm puts them in my feed, which is becoming increasingly rare. I haven’t actually talked to anyone from HS in ages.

I'm friends with people i went to high-school wih but didn't hang out with. The 4 of us are pretty good. I have no desire to reconnect with anyone else.
jaymoney1@reddit
I have no contact with anyone from my class. A couple friends who were a grade or two above me. But after deleting Facebook a decade ago, I lost contact with all the ones who were just FB friends. It did help joining the Marines right out of school and very rarely going back on leave. And now that I am retired I don't plan on going back ever.
Alarming_Fun_7246@reddit
I’m not in contact with anyone from high school. After graduating, I went to college and just lost touch with everyone. It was before social media and most of us didn’t have cell phones - at least, when we started college. I think I had one by the end of college, but I don’t remember carrying it with me everywhere like we do now. I definitely lost all the numbers in my contacts every time I got a new phone before my first iPhone. So I just…lost touch with a lot of people and never looked them up once Facebook became a thing. At this point, I’ve forgotten most of my high school friends last names, so even if I still had FB, I couldn’t look them up.
WhatIGot21@reddit
I regret my high school friends decision everyday. I have a brother in law in his 50’s who still hangs with his 3 closest high school buddies and they are all successful. My friends are dead or losers.
burritobasket714@reddit
I’ve made the effort to stay in touch with exactly 3 people I went to HS with.
And, sure, other people from HS have drifted in and out of my life over the years but I’ve made the conscious effort with only 3 of them.

A few really good friends are from hs, but my school was also pretty massive. Thousands of students.
cobain98@reddit
Not a single one of them. I don’t even live in the same state anymore. If I still lived there, the thought of bumping into one and having to make small talk sounds horrible to me. I was not picked on or an outcast in school; just have no desire to interact with those people anymore.
Visual-Fig-4763@reddit
Not really. I did go to high school with my ex husband and his wife, but I don’t really talk to them outside of very rare small talk when we happen to both be at an event for our son or grandson.

Kumba42@reddit
I'm in several circles with people I've known since 2nd grade in elementary school, plus those I met in middle and high schools. We're all kinda linked together, which is neat. Most are still in the local region I call home, and I've not met anyone since one of the high school reunions, but it's kinda fun watching everyone's lives and being a part of us all randomly stumbling our way through this rat maze we all call life.
Worried_Bullfrog_937@reddit
I've never kept in touch with anyone from elementary school, middle school, or the first 3 years of high school. My "best" friend for most of high school was pretty toxic. Luckily, I found a new group of friends during my senior year. One of them is still my best friend, although we never see each other since he moved to another country 9 time zones away. We still text, though.

I stay in touch with a few folks by text that I care about and that’s it

Knappyone@reddit
A good 2/3 of my high school are dead or in prison. The rest I try not to keep up with because I don’t want to be connected with everyone I’ve ever met. I still have a few friends from then but idc what Aaron from freshman year is doing. Trying to remember that many people seems unhealthy to me.
Honest_Tutor1451@reddit
Last I had contact with anyone from high school was on MySpace. I don’t have Facebook anymore so not really much chance of running into them online. It’s funny though because one of my closest friends I met after high school is actually pretty good friends with a couple of the girls I went to high school with which feels weird because they were kinda catty so it’s weird that my friend likes them.
Rogue_Gona@reddit
I haven't spoken to anyone from high school since the day I graduated back in 2001. Fuck them kids. I haven't had any desire to reconnect with any of them ever. High school wasn't a great experience for me and most of the people I graduated with never left the city and then married each other.

There are a small handful that I would contact and probably enjoy talking with, but it’s not worth actually creating a Facebook account or otherwise searching them out. And that would leave me open to contact from the vast majority I have no interest in.
drainbamage1011@reddit
Facebook doesn't emphasize those kind of interactions these days anyway. They can send you a bunch of ads and AI bullshit though.
weightyinspiration@reddit
Might be for the best. I reconnected with the only buddy from highschool I cared about, about 15 years after graduating.
He had grown zero since highschool, and was still telling the same jokes and stories. His brother shot me a sympathic look during our visit, he could tell I was dissapointed by the whole encounter.
darumamaki@reddit
Same. They were horrible people in school, and I don't care what's happened to them since. Having moved cross-country means I don't have to hear anything, and not having a Facebook account means I don't have to see anything either.
C001H4ndPuk3@reddit
I keep in touch with exactly one classmate out of the 900ish in my graduating class. The rest of them, I probably wouldn't even remember who they were if they walked up and introduced themselves.
Even the one I talk to now was a reconnect after many years, and it mostly boils down to a couple texts throughout the year since we live several states apart.

Zero contact. Graduated with 82 people, most of them never left and got an associates degree in landscaping. I was very popular, dated cheerleaders, etc. I never keep social media accounts and the few people from high school I have ever bumped into said “I went dark”. The reality is I had a normal life, job, married, dogs, hobbies, etc and just never let the internet know.
walter_grimsley@reddit
Class of 1995. Reconnected with a couple of folks around 2002. It went very, very badly. One stayed the same as high school, the other got way worse. Wound up getting picked up for possession and gun charges, and was just generally shitty. Never again
CalmTheAngryVoice@reddit
My high school was a tiny Christian school in a small town. The only time I've ever had contact with any of its attendees was essentially by accident in person or online through Facebook. I didn't attend any of the reunion activities that I was invited to, and the school closed down permanently several years ago. Now that my parents are no longer living in the town, I have no reason to ever set foot in the town or the school again.

I’m friends with a bunch of people from jr high/high school and even a couple from grade school. I have lots of friends from college and adult life as well.
supergirlsudz@reddit
I don’t. I reconnected with some high school friends in my mid-20s. It was still a clique with a toxic leader. I removed myself from the situation. I had some other high school friends outside of that group that I kind of naturally lost touch with as life took us in different directions. I sometimes feel bad about this but too much time has passed and we are still in different directions (they all have kids and I don’t).
NHmountain-man@reddit
Graduated mid 90s, don't have contact with anyone from back then- not a one.

I have a small group of friends (3) from HS that I talk to every day, but we’ve also known each other since elementary school. There’s a few other I’m still friendly with and would go to dinner, etc if we were in the same place, but largely, eh. The only thing most of us had in common is that our parents chose to live in the same place. College, though, is a totally different story.
No9No9No9No9@reddit
I'm connected with one person because she's my actual bestie. Everyone else can kiss my ass.
My high school boyfriend has always found me and added me, then eventually he will block me and be weird and deactivate his accounts. Then he comes back.... over and over... since like 2012. This happened again the other week, it's so weird. He sends me a picture of his tween kids watching a movie we used to like, and then I guess I didn't respond fast enough, so he blocked me.
Fuck this. I blocked him, his wife, his sister and everyone i could think of connecting us. This sad man is obviously still stuck on me 26 years later, GET A LIFE DUDE!!
StandardVermicelli33@reddit
My husband and I neither one have contact with high school classmates. We have no desire to either. We all just happened to be born about the same time and the same area. It's an unnatural aberration of birth that we even went to the same school.
ElectricPenguin6712@reddit
I did with one on Facebook but i deleted my account so i haven't talked to them in a while. TBH, i hated high school and couldn't wait to leave.
dallyan@reddit
I feel like this is super common on Reddit rather than the other way around. I always feel like the odd (wo)man out because I still have a great group of friends from high school and we just got together not too long ago.
Poly_Olly_Oxen_Free@reddit
I live in a different state from where I grew up, so I don't really run into my old school friends. I have a few of my old High School classmates on my Facebook, and I talk to them occasionally. I wouldn't say we're "friends", but we say Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, and shit like that. Occasionally, if I'm visiting my home town, we might grab lunch, or a couple drinks.
My wife and I met in High School, so I will always be in contact with at least one of my classmates. She's like 12 feet away from me right now.
I don't actively reach out to "reconnect" with my former classmates, but I have stayed in touch with a few of them casually over the years. In September, we've got a meetup scheduled. It's gonna be like 15-20 of us (out of a class of 1800) showing up for pizza and beers at the same pizzeria we used to go to for lunch every day when we were students.
Appropriate_Berry_44@reddit
I keep in touch with a few of them, but it's pretty sporadic, There's only one high school classmate that I consider a friend, so I keep in touch with her on a frequent basis. They're good people overall, but they're really far away from me in terms of interests and lifestyle choices, so there's little in common.

If being in contact means being Facebook friends, then yes, I’m in contact with quite a few of them. I do have one friend from middle school that I actually talk to and see on a somewhat regular basis. Not really a high school friend, but close enough.
amiableviking@reddit
Lost touch with pretty much all of them after deleting social media - I’m friends with people from that time frame, but they weren’t my classmates. But the three other guys who formed my solid friend group in 9th grade are all dead now, so that’s fun.

I went to an upscale-ish high school and didn't connect much with the kids there. Some are now CEOs, lawyers, entrepreneurs, politicians. There are high school reunions every 5 years, I sometimes go, I see some on very rare occasions outside of the reunions.
I had my local friends who went to the local public school. I lost track of most because they all moved outside of the city (I stayed in the city) and few attended college or university.
My current friends are mostly from college or university.

I stayed closest to my high school friends even though we went to different colleges/universities and I moved very far away through my mid thirties🤷♀️. The bond was tighter vs my college friends where it was based more on drinking / parties.

I am facebook friends with several of them but it’s been several years since I’ve used facebook so not anymore I guess.

Architorture_66@reddit
I have one high school classmate connection on LinkedIn, but that's it. Out of 360 graduating students, I only hear from that one once a year when my birthday pops up on LinkedIn.
I also moved over 1,000 miles away from my hometown, so that only further distances myself from those high school people and years.
Royal-Pen3516@reddit
Moved away three days after high school and have only visited 3 three times in the 28 years since... No clue what any of them are doing.

Me. I don't talk to anyone from high-school except the one guy I hung out with and he's just on my TikTok so its not like we really converse, just say hey now and then.
jbenze@reddit
Most of my friends in high school went to private schools or lived in other towns so I wasn't close to most of the people I went to school with even back then. I barely see people I actually like.
Impressive-End241@reddit
I don't talk to anyone from high school anymore. I had a fairly large friend group, but once Junior year hit, they all wanted to start doing drugs, going to clubs on school nights, etc. I said no thanks and we had a big falling out. They ended up pregnant, on drugs and in/out of jail.
The one girl I did stay friends with lost my dog once, so that was the end of that.
Optimal_Solution663@reddit
I don't. I grew up in an affluent area. That socioeconomic class irritates the hell out of me.

Highschool was 4 years of my life. And it wasn't even a good four years. I have old coworkers that I regret losing touch with more than anyone I knew in high school.

Zero contact of any kind. 15 years ago, class president called my Mom's house looking to invite me to the reunion. Mom told him that I would not be interested and lose her number. Closest I have had to contact since graduating.

I was friends with my highschool bestie on Facebook, but I quit using facebook. Even having exchanged phone numbers and addresses i was thw only one communicating, so I quit.

nope. none of my current friends group is anyone from high school let alone college. the one college friend I had died from cancer in 2023 and I'm still reeling from it. he was like a brother to me.
all the people I thought were my friends in high school dumped me like a bad habit when I chose to clean my life up and heal from everything. didn't really hurt my feelings either.

I don’t. I moved the day junior year of high school started then went out of state for college so the friendships I formed weren’t really maintained. I still keep in touch with some of the people I sent the first half of high school with but they’re the ones I’ve known since kindergarten.
Leilani3317@reddit
I went to a hard-core evangelical cult high school, and most of them are still in it, so no, I am not friends with any of them. I do have a couple of Instagram or Facebook friends from high school who broke out of that, but we do not talk to each other or hang out, we just lurk lol
Hatecookie@reddit
What’s really crazy to me is how many of the people who used to hate me have sent me friend requests. I would never send a friend request to someone I didn’t like. Those people are so fucking weird.
I have a handful of friends from high school, I hung out with the alternative crowd, and some of those people turned out to be pretty cool adults. We probably see each other once a year or less now.

No one in my graduating class proper. My wife was a year ahead of me so, you know. We still talk from time to time.
Her sister was three years ahead of me, and she is married to a friend of mine, who is a year older than her.
My brother-in-law and I have known each other longer than we've known our wives.
Own-Office-5299@reddit
I stopped contacting HS friends long ago and they all disappeared when I deleted FB. I had nothing in common with them, they try too hard to stay a part of my life to the point that they would call/text me excessively during board exams and heavy work weeks to tell me about what their toddlers did. It’s like they really don’t want me to do well in life so they sabotage. They also have a habit of stalking social media to compare their lives to others. I’m so over it and have better friends now.
PercentageCreepy2653@reddit
I feel like I’m the exception here but I keep in touch with a lot of my friends from high school (some as far back as junior high). Yes, we hang out once in a while. I work close to one of them so we’ll meet up for lunch once a week. We try to be there for each other and a lot of us have attended weddings and such. We have a big meetup in the summer (some even come in from out of town) and again around the holidays. Went to an all girls catholic school so I don’t know if that makes a difference but for a lot of us high school was a largely positive experience where we forged genuine friendships.
DeanOfClownCollege@reddit
I am Facebook friends with a number of people from High School but only have consistent contact/interaction with 3-4 of them.

StabbyMcStabsauce@reddit
Just my husband! My circle of friends turned out to be not good people too. My husband, he apparently had better taste in friends because we still hang out with a few of them.
SheShouldGo@reddit
I wonder if it makes a difference if you went to a large or small school. My graduating class had 60 people, and I have kept in touch with many of my class, and the classes above and below me to varying degrees. Well... I married one of them. My closest friend I've know since 8th grade. But it seems like people from huge schools don't keep contact as much.
t_bone_stake@reddit
I went to two different high schools in as many states. I added a couple from my first high school to facebook some years ago but it’s not often they (or I for that matter) bother going on. The other, I didn’t bother even looking up. I don’t miss them though the ones I did add did get married and have kids and settled down elsewhere. Never bothered even finding out if there were reunions but it’s a moot point as I promised myself not to bother during my graduation ceremony 25 years ago this year.

blackhawksq@reddit
I lost contact with all of my high school friends 2 days after graduation. Seriously, we graduated, partied that night, nursed hangovers the next day, said goodbye, and I never looked back. When I was still in the area, I would run into them sometimes and chat for a few minutes, then be on my way.
When our 20-year reunion came (God, next year is 30 years). I had some people contact me on facebook and see if I was going to the reunion (I didn't). I was even put into a little class of 97 group. Took me about a week to realize most of the people hadn't moved on from highschool and I left the group.
My facebook friends list slowly populated with high school friends. One of them decided they wanted to catch up and asked for my number. He was one of my main hangs, so I gave it to him. Dude called me, spent exactly 2 minutes "catching up" and then tried to sell me on an MLM scheme. I got pretty snotty with him. "Dude we haven't talked in like 20 years, you claim to want to catch up. When all you really want is to sell me into MLM horse shit? Fuck off. "
Since then, if I notice someone on my "socials" that I don't talk with regularly, I delete them. I'm not interested in "maintaining" old relationships with people who disappeared 30 years ago.
NerdyBrando@reddit
I regularly text and occasionally see friends from my core group. Most of us moved away, but have found ourselves back near (or in) our hometown now. That means I do also run into a lot of people I went to school with that never moved away.
EBMille4@reddit
I’ve kept 2 ride or die friends from then, speak to no others. Those 2 I still talk to every day and I’m lucky to have them in my life still.
red_bird85@reddit
Same. I have my 2 ride or die friends from then, and that’s it from that chapter. One of them and I are embarking on a Golden Girls life together. She’s divorced, I’m widowed. I’ve got the professional job, she can make the shrimps and cocktails. Shit, I’ll marry her to give her health benefits. She’s been my ride or die since we were 14yo and hitting our eyeliners with stolen bics.
IvenaDarcy@reddit
I love you marring her to give her health benefits. This is true love! My friend offered me this and seriously it warmed my heart! I didn’t take her up on it but it still meant the world to me she even suggested it.

Likewise. I have 3 people that I can still talk to 24/7 and they'll have my back. And maybe 15-20 (out of a graduating class of 500) that I would care about communicating with after 20+ years. But real talk I stopped giving a shit about 95% of them the summer after HS.

For one, yes. They're in card groups with them, and they have group dinners on Tuesdays. For the other, no. My friend's mom was my babysitter and later coworker with my parents, but she died about 20 years ago. My parents will still talk to my friend's dad when they see him (and his second wife), but he's not in their circle.

A buddy of mine was with his kid, who was holding a tablet, and a lady said something sideways about it. The kid was facetiming his cousin, who lived states away, but they were as close as brothers. Had to laugh about that one

Same. One of my friends and I were about to graduate HS and had a realization-conversation that we had a pretty solid crew, and that it was likely we'd all stay in touch. Our school district served several small towns so some of those cliques naturally stuck, but I'm happy to say that we're all still in touch for the most part and genuinely care about each other and our families.
ailish@reddit
Not anymore, even the last two close friends I had. We just grew apart. I last spoke to one of them about 5 or 6 years ago, and she's doing fine. There was no fall out with them or anything, we just have different lives. I don't have social media besides reddit so I don't see anything about what they're up to anymore.

IvenaDarcy@reddit
My closest old school friends who I like family I’ve known since 8th grade. Love them deeply! We are now all turning half a century and it’s so wild.
It’s beautiful to watch friends grow and change yet essence is still the same. And it’s beautiful to have those around you who know you from back then and now so they see the changes too. It’s just a connection that’s so hard to form with new friends.
I love my friends I met in the last decade and hang with often but nothing replaces those life long friendships. I live in NYC and my closest friends are in my hometown, New Orleans, and some in Cali so don’t see them regularly but the few times a year we all hang out recharges my soul! ♥️

maybe cause I was in a big city, maybe I wasn't as close to my friend group as I thought I was, but pretty much as soon as I graduated outside of a few exceptional times I never saw anyone from high school ever again (I went to college in the same city I graduated from too). When facebook started getting big a couple contacted me through there but never more than just the usual thumbs up when posting a picture level of interaction.
atomic-raven-noodle@reddit
I’m actively friends with someone who went to the same high school but we didn’t meet till MANY years later and didn’t start hanging out til much later after that.

I live hundreds of miles away. I went to my 20th reunion because I reconnected with an old friend who joined the committee (which was kind of surprising since she lived on the other side of the country). I was going to skip it but she pressured me to attend lol. We had fun catching up but I think she really wanted to prove to certain people how happy, fit, and successful she became. I am definitely doing 1000x’s better than I was in high school but I really don’t feel obligated to show proof of that to people.
I got a message that the 30th reunion is coming up in August/ September. I hope everyone is doing well and has a good time, but I don’t really see the point in using my vacation time to travel there.
PIG20@reddit
Me. And I considered him one of my best friends.
Actually, I only still see just one friend from childhood as of today. But he's more like a brother than a friend as we've known each other since before I can remember.
But I had this other very close friend from highschool that I've seen once in the last 20 years or so. And for good reason.
We were very close but after highschool, he just consistently fucked around. Also, started taking advantage of our friendship with financial requests.
I obliged for a bit but eventually, I cut him off from that sort of thing. He always paid me back but only because I would pester him constantly. And we're not talking $20 here and there. We're talking hundreds. He didn't have money for rent, insurance, food, so on and so on. But he had enough money to go to the bars and spending cash on women and such.
Was always in between jobs as well. Never could hold down anything consistent before he fucked it up.
Eventually, he got a girl pregnant and she decided to not abort. Unlike the previous two girls he impregnated.
He settled down with her and eventually moved out of state. They also had 5 more kids over that time.
However, 2 years ago, he came through town to visit his mother and we hung out. Hadn't spoken to him in years. Unfortunately, he hasn't changed one bit. It was good to see him but it was also good to wave goodbye.
He's also leaving his wife and shacking up with a girl 20+ years younger than him. And he sees zero issue with this. He was wearing it like a badge of honor.
We're 48 now and I definitely don't need that sort of thing back in my life at this stage.
He tried calling me soon after the last visit but I was busy at work and couldn't talk. Never called him back though. I just don't have the energy for this. Since then, he hasn't tried to contact me either.
It's weird because we were incredibly close at one time but the rift of me growing up and him living in the past put too much of a strain on trying to fire up any sort of friendship.
fossilreef@reddit

I've seriously been through like 4 different lives since I graduated in 1999. I have nothing in common with most of them now. And that's ok. People move on.

A few through Facebook (though I rarely get on that anymore). Most of those were friends way before high school (one was an across the street neighbor from 3rd grade on). Aside from my 10 year reunion I’ve had real contact with—besides my sister—maybe 5 people of the 2500 or so I went to HS with over four years during the last quarter century. (My class was 330 people, and while school was about 1500).

MulberryEastern5010@reddit
I'm Facebook friends with a handful, but the last time I saw any of them in person was ten years ago at my mom's funeral. She had been a teacher at our school in a variety of subjects, so just about all of my classmates had my mom as a teacher at some point or another. I didn't even get invited to our 20th reunion three years ago, which was held a year late. I didn't even know it was happening until the day after when one of my classmates tagged me and a few others in a Facebook post that included our kindergarten class photo and and the caption "So great to see everyone last night at the 20th reunion! Class of '02 rocks!" It took everything I had not to comment "Our reunion was last night?" I'd gotten an invite to our tenth reunion via Facebook and declined, and my better senses tell me it was just as well not to go to the 20th, but for the sake of principle, an invitation still would have been nice. However, I didn't hear a single thing about it. That would be just like my class, though: to not only have our reunion a year late but to make sure that under no circumstances was I invited.

I didn't have a bad HS experience. I actually enjoyed it. High school football, goofing off, simplicity. When it ended is when I realized small town life was depressing and isolating so I moved out.

Maybe for a few years in college, but really nothing since graduating in 2000. Seems like all the 90s movies tried to tell you that High School was the top of the mountain, but obviously not true.
AbsolutelyNotAPossum@reddit
The only person from high school I kept in touch with is my wife.
Appropriate-Diver301@reddit
Mine are all good people. But I am bad at keeping in touch and now I rarely even think about them. I just make new friends at each life stage.
Demetan2016@reddit
Same. 1992-1996 high school. Living hell. Only music got me through this.
tarravin@reddit
I've moved around a lot since HS and now live in a different state. Don't use FB anymore or anything, so while there are a handful of people I wouldn't mind catching up with if I got the chance, I don't talk to anyone from that time.
I did run into one person randomly a few years ago when I was back visiting family and it was cool actually, thankfully it was one of the people I liked & got along with from school lol
Msbartokomous@reddit
I don’t, but I wish I did have contact with a few people. I was incredibly shy and had zero self confidence back then. I had two close friends, both a year ahead of me, and they both turned out a bit looney, and one is my cousin, lol. I don’t have contact with either of them. What’s crazy is that because i was so shy, people thought i was a snob and in the “in” crowd. 🤦🏻♀️ I was not. Though I was friendly with everyone, I never had the confidence to become good friends with people. I don’t know if that makes sense or not. I just thought once people got to know me, they probably wouldn’t like me or I’d say/do something stupid and be ridiculed. High school was hard.
carryon4threedays@reddit
I’m still friends with a few from high school. We have left our hometown, but all live within a few hours drive. We still get together a couple times a year, our kids play together as well.
Upset-Word151@reddit
I said peace out at graduation and didn’t look back at those whittling, jug blowing, iHOP monkeys
PMcOuntry@reddit
I got out and never looked back. I told my mom, someday I’d like to go drive around just to see how many of those kids never left because it was the only place they could be worshipped. They made my life a living hell for nearly 12 years. Hope they are happy raising more mean girl wannabes.
Scherzkeks@reddit
I don’t feel like I need it. A lot of those people I only knew because I didn’t have a choice not to.
Coco_Cokie_Cookie@reddit
Only one friend
Brokelynne@reddit
I had undiagnosed Asperger's / autism and ASD. I never quite fit in and was always subtly excluded -- whether it be from group projects, finding a place to sit at lunch (for me, it was alone in the girl's locker room my freshman year; eventually the yearbook office) or having companionship a date for any of those dances. I got into a top college in a nearish big city, moved overseas for a few years, now live in a bigger city than where I went to college. I actually now have more people I trust from HS, as I've connected with my fellow weirdoes on social media over the intervening years. I'm now "someone to visit or consult for advice" on Big City.
Nonservium@reddit
I grew up in a small town. Every so often one of the folks I knew as a kid shows up and every single time I am shocked at how little growth I see in any of them. I’ve learned the hard way that they don’t take kindly to it being pointed out, directly or indirectly.
I still have friends from that era of my life but none of them still live there. We have all grown up and on to bigger, better things. Hell two of us left the country, myself included.
AshDogBucket@reddit
I went to evangelical Christian school. I am no longer Evangelical, and I haven't lived within 1,000 miles of that school since 2007, so many of those relationships fell away organically. After the 2016 election I cut off most remaining connections. Today, I am still connected to my one "best friend" from high school via Facebook and occasional texts. I also am connected to a few others who left and were damaged. I interact with all of them in total a few times a year, primarily via Facebook comments.
What's funny...
Years ago, I did want to be connected to my high school. I wanted to have an opportunity to reconnect with folks on a surface level, and i also kind of wanted to make noise as part of an alumni group about the harm the school has caused and still causes etc. I contacted them and tried to get connected with the alumni networks. They blew me off. That was 2023. I assumed at the time that they blew me off because in their form to fill out for contacts i included gay stuff ("what have you accomplished since graduation?" included chairing various lgbtq groups)
Suddenly... they have an "aggressive strategic plan" and now they want to be in touch with me for my money. I'm torn between wanting to send them an angry letter and ignoring them.
ThisKittenShops@reddit
Yeah, this tracks. I went to a private school that wasn't aggressively Christian but was broadly so - more of an Appalachian mission school that identified as being Christian for branding purposes. It was affiliated with a college, which I also attended because it was zero cost out of pocket. In any case, they aggressively track alums for $$$ because charing for tuition and/or taking all of your grant money isn't sufficient. Ultimately, my way out of getting off of the marketing list was to work there in an academic role (librarian) as an adult and get fired by hosting a student-focused event. The event ultimately caused them to lose a wealthy right-wing donor, and I'm not sorry.
Kurigunde@reddit
I don’t associate with anyone from highschool. Not a single person. Highschool sucked and the people were even worse.

weezie_lou@reddit
Haven’t talked to them since high school!
UnderH20giraffe@reddit
Not a single one, not for many years. And there was no big falling out, we just had 0 in common and didn’t like each other.
Isanyonelistening45@reddit
Yeah, I learned once I left high school they weren't going to be my "friends" Even tried staying connected with one when they went of to college but it was reciprocated so I just let them go. Different but the same experiences with a group of 5. Even worked with one at different roles but the same workplace. Saw her in the bathroom at said job. Treated me like a stranger. I am good by myself, if they speak when they see me they do or if they dont, I really dont care. Its their loss.
Upstairs-Kale-3794@reddit
I skipped my 5 year, 10 year, and 20 year. I fully plan on skipping by 30 year in 2028. If there's a 40, I won't be there either.
Facebook took away the novelty to high school reunions. I don't have to wonder, "Whatever happened to Andy?" Andy's running his fucking mouth about vaccines with a Maga tattoo on his neck.
SilverAsparagus2985@reddit
I lost contact after MySpace. 🤣
iamreeterskeeter@reddit
I am still in touch with two people from high school. We are still close friends. The rest can jump off a pier. My 30th reunion is this summer and I can't be dragged to it.
Just_Me_79@reddit
Yeah I’ll pass, they didn’t like me (typical stupid HS bully BS) and it went both ways, not enough money to make seeing them worth it.
rosemerry77@reddit
I haven’t kept in touch with anyone from high school.
FreezingRobot@reddit
I had a few close friends in high school, and when I reconnected with them shortly after college finished, I found we really didn't have that much in common anymore. I wouldn't say it was a "falling out", we just drifted away because we became different people as adults.
That's one of the things about stuff like Facebook, I think it gives people a false sense of "keeping in touch" with people they really don't want contact with anymore.
Senseisntsocommon@reddit
Yep this is the one for me except I like getting the occasional update or comment here or there but I don’t need any more than that.
I think a big part of it is that everyone was aware that much of who I was then was fake, it’s just what was underneath wasn’t what they expected. Everyone assumed I was at a different place on the spectrum of sexuality, instead I was on a different spectrum.
bja33470@reddit
nah - totally moved out and on
ThisKittenShops@reddit
I was one of 15 students in my graduating class, and I haven't spoken to the one friend I maintained of that group in about nine years now. It's not her fault, nor do I wish her ill - it's me distancing myself from the whole thing and moving away from that tiny town, which was a traumatic place to be.
Weirdly enough, people from the public middle school I went to keep reaching out on Facebook, like I really want to reconnect with them. Most of them haven't matured past their middle school selves, honestly.
JDRL320@reddit
I had one friend from high school that I had for about 5 years when I graduated, the other friends I had were from different schools. I didn’t even go to my own prom I went to my boyfriend’s prom where he went.
The friendship with my friend from my high school fizzled out by end of summer, nothing bad happened we just grew apart. I saw her on Facebook about 10 years ago and messaged her and we went back n forth a few times and it was nice to catch up but that was about it. Respectfully, no love lost.
Everyone else….I have no desire to see again.
BigRonDongson@reddit
If you weren't part of my close friend group I don't even remember you existed
LopensCouisin@reddit
The only one I keep in touch with was my best friend from high school. We live on opposite sides of the country, but were at each other’s weddings over a decade ago.
Sodamyte@reddit
I do not, but I knew that was going to be the case on graduation day. One of my cousins graduated with me.. and I don't even talk to him.
Randa08@reddit
I haven't spoken to any of them since I went to uni.
Surfer27@reddit
Never had ill will toward my classmates but once I went to college I never heard from them again. We went to my wife’s 20yr reunion and it was a blast, she has lots of long term friends. I was tempted to go to mine but then thought it would not have been as much fun.
NYTravelerBD@reddit
There were about 500 in my graduating class. I'm still in touch with two of them and we try to meet up once a year or so. There are a couple others whom I never see but occasionally email or text. The rest I really don't care about, and I'm not on Facebook to even read about them.

My husband is still very close to all his HS friends, and they make up our current friend group. His HS art teacher was our maid of honour. They’ve adopted me as a graduate of their artsy fartsy high school.
Logical-Cherry9395@reddit
That's just crazy to me. I didn't talk to anyone after high school, my husband included. We just randomly crossed paths one day 23 years later, went out to catch each other up, and got married three months later. He is the ONLY person I've had anything to do with.
elphaba00@reddit
I married my best friend from high school, and I have a couple other friends that I meet up with occasionally for tacos and margaritas. I'll be civil when I see people from high school, but I'm not looking for friendship with them.
optimaloutcome@reddit
I don't see or talk to any of them in person. I follow a few on IG and/or FB that I liked in high school and still like.
SensitiveArtist@reddit
I only stayed in touch with two people I met in high school and one of them passed away earlier this year. The other people I'm in touch with are my college friends except for two I've known since we were kids.

High school was so long ago, but there are a few stragglers on my Facebook page still. I have lived halfway across the country from my hometown for 20+ years. I never cared much, never attended a reunion.
tokudama@reddit
Yep, my friend group drifted apart. The only people from high school that I've come across lately are the ones who ended up on the sex offender registry and that's only because it was relevant to my job.
CoatStraight8786@reddit
Most of the people I hung out with in HS I don't talk to anymore. Quite a bit of people I didn't hang out with or talk to in HS I do now.
Weird how things change when people grow up or don't.
Browndogsmom@reddit
I speak to one person from high school. And she has been my bestie since then( 28 years) that’s it. Not one other person.
lakatos_intolerant@reddit
There are about a dozen friends from high school with whom I have kept in touch to some extent or another. We are all in different places (geographically, etc), but they are people I wish I could catch up with in person.
Beyond that I have not stayed in touch with anyone and have mostly faded into obscurity. High school had a lot of highs and lows and I feel super far-removed from it now. It's hard to imagine what I would discuss with someone I have not seen in 20+ years.
Wrenshimmers@reddit
The only person I still see from High School is my husband and I am very happy to keep it that way!
Hoppers-Body-Double@reddit
I have one or two I casually keep contact with, but overall no. I grew up in the middle of nowhere Northwest Pennsylvania. Cow field up to the back of our property, cornfield across the road, 500 kids total grades 7-12, and the only minority were white catholics. None of those are exaggerations. Surprise surprise...they are xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, Islamaphobic, fake christian, white nationalistic, celebrate ignorance as a virtue, devoid of any culture, and overall just boring ass people. I always joke that the land is beautiful and the people are ugly. You can find way more confederate flags that libraries, museums, or art galleries combined. I moved to Pittsburgh after college and the only time I go back are to see my mom and one sister. There is literally nothing else for me there.

I saw in every conceivable club, captain of a varsity sports team and class president. Most people hated me and I wasn’t overly fond of most of them either. Moved as far away as I could the summer after graduation. I have no contact with anyone from those days. I have no problem with that and expect they don’t either.
Dry_Inspection_4583@reddit
I don't talk or know the status of any of my highschool people's. I was not a nice person, at all. Its taken me decades to unpack and work through, I try to be better, but part of that is recognizing that historically I was really really not good.
Scimmia_bianca@reddit
Stopped talking to them freshman year of college. No hate, but we all just went our own way. I still talk to the college friends.
TZath@reddit
I don’t have real contact with anyone I actually interacted with much in high school, but have served on non-profit boards with no fewer than THREE people from my graduating class in the last ten years…. Two of whom I didn’t even know went to my high school, let alone were in my class.
cloudshaper@reddit
There's one person I text with every few years, but outside of that I'm not in touch with anyone nor have I attended a reunion.
FionaGoodeEnough@reddit
I have a friend who lives in DC, and when I am in DC, I look her up. I have a friend in KC, and when I am in KC, I look her and her husband up. But my best friend from high school has barely spoken to me since her wedding, did not tell me when her dad died, and did not respond when I told her my dad died. So I guess that one is done. Apparently she doesn’t talk to the friends in KC and DC either.
CplHicks_LV426@reddit
Almost none. I have one high school friend that I stay in loose contact with, meaning I haven't talked to him in a long time but we tag each other in posts sometimes and share some streaming creds.
BeefSupremeeeeee@reddit
Best friend went down the Qanon conspiracy theory rabbit hole. We haven't spoken since 2021.
I miss him but can't listen to him talk about the latest thing he's read online. Hope he comes out of it and we can reconnect.
I do miss him.
BreakfastBeerz@reddit
I do not have any kind of regular contact with anyone from high school beyond Facebook. Of my core friend group of 4, myself included, 2 are dead. Of the rest of my close friend group of probably 10 other people. I only could only point to one of their houses on a map.
We've all changed considerably since school and went in different directions, we have very little in common. Incidentally, there are a small handful of people from high school that I never would have talked to then that I do talk to now.
beardedliberal@reddit
Yeah… One of my friends just got arrested after beating up a cop. I don’t need that nonsense in my life. (And no, in this case the cop did not have it coming.)
emeraldrose484@reddit
I was for awhile, then it dwindled more and more as no one would actually talk to each other, just post random photos of food or a filtered picture of their kids occasionally. I deleted my Facebook account when I turned 35 - no one noticed, and no one has reached out looking for me. Every now and then I'll touch base with one or two people by text or email.
I still have the same cell phone number and I've kept my email address from back then active just in case. I've moved twice since school, I have the same name, and live in generally the same area, so I'm really not that hard to find.
I had a good circle of friends, and I miss having that easy friend group. (But not enough to ever sign back up for Facebook!)
post_blast@reddit
Last time I talked to anyone I went to high school with was with my groomsmen when I got married... 13 years ago, I think, and even then I hadn't seen either of them in years. No clue if either of them are still alive. Good guys, best friends I've ever had.

Ornamental_oriental@reddit
I hated what my friends became. They all kept dating and divorcing everybody. My ex friend of 20 years is married now with an ex classmate from high school. He also has 2 children from 2 different woman from high school. Like come on, don’t you want to move away from that? None of them grew up without going to jail first. Not good friends or good grown ups I’d like to keep around. I have a family, job and life I wouldn’t give up to be a street kid again.

Evil_Lynn82@reddit
Not many…but I do happen to live with one now lol. I got with a fella from the next town over right after high school and was happily married for 18 years when he passed suddenly from an aneurysm. Two years later I decided to hang out on the water with an old friend (absolutely plutonic) from high school and since that day we’ve barely been apart now for 4 years. Other than him I can honestly count the number of people on one hand from high school that I’d spend any real time with nowadays.

For the most part, no. I got rid of my social media a couple yrs ago, and I just don’t care what anyone is up to, nor do I care for them to know what I’m up to. I only interact with people who are close enough to have my number. Some of those are friends from school, but that’s it.

I see some here and there. I feel like life is ever moving and changing. People move into and out of your life and that is normal. Some people I went to high school with I connected more with after highschool and some I connected well with in high school i dont connect with at all after high school. I think it is important to find community and to be connected to good people, but the older I get the more I am willing to let older connections drift if they dont seem or feel mutual anymore.

Huge-Gear3704@reddit
Haven’t spoken to them since sophomore year of college. They are extremely developmentally stunted, still use drugs, cheating on their partners. Once I was no longer getting Hugh I could see who they really are. The last straw is them accusing me of stealing a credit card from one of them. Why did they think that? Because I was making a lot of long distance calls (this was 1999). I never ver say this to anyone and haven’t since. I said dumbasses my parents are rich, I don’t need to steal from your broke ass. And I never spoke to them again. Turns out they found the credit card underneath the couch
Redlady0227@reddit
All my friends from back then actually went to different high schools than I did. I still talk to a a few here and there. Adult life and it’s none ending responsibilities keep us all to busy 24/7 to ever have the time we used have to spend together.

The only person I stayed in touch with from high school was a girl a year under me who applied for her GED my senior year. She couldn't get out fast enough, and neither could I.

I might have some of them on my Facebook but no interactions. We are way too different, some of them is suffering 'high school dementia' and try to claim they never did drugs etc, a lot of them are racists and/or never moved away. One is dead, a few went to prison, deadbeats etc.
Medical-Lie-7416@reddit
I moved away and found "my people". I recently saw some reunion photos and I couldn't remember the names of a single person in my class. It's like it was another life that I have no interest in anymore. It is kinda sad that all my friends have gone their separate ways but that's okay. Sometimes I'll think "I miss ______" but it's a fleeting thought and I don't try to find them on social media haha. I'm happy letting the past be the past.
EmperorSkyTiger@reddit
I feel ya. In reality, we were forced along the same path with these people, then we weren't. We went our own ways, got to choose who we surrounded ourselves with, and experience life with our chosen people. I'm still in contact with a few that mattered, and those were the ones that were my friends since well before; but the rest? Eh. Good luck to them, but I wouldn't be bothered if our paths never crossed again and I didn't think about them at all. I find the reunion invites so absurd. "Can you believe it's been 20 years?" Yes, I've lived it. It's the equivalent of being invited to a gathering of former coworkers.

No contact here. I had 1 friend that I held onto for almost 27 years. We'd go months without taking, then periodically reconnect, but once she started flirting and asking me to send pics I was done.
WorkingItOutSomeday@reddit
Not really. I keep in touch with a few childhood friends but I dont think we went to the same HS. Most were trash then and sounds like theyre trash now.
My sister is the same.
funatical@reddit
My best and only friend I met in Junior High. A few people still hover and talk to him but I prefer not to. I have no ill will. I just don’t wish to be in contact with any of them.
Dimeskis@reddit
I don’t. I guess it’s kinda sad because I had a few really close friends. I just kind of lose touch with people not in my day to day life. Same with my college friends, and my early career friends.
I hope they’re all doing great though!
gofastjoey@reddit
The only person from my HS i still speak to is my brother.
SpaceCowboy_84@reddit
The number of people from high school that I still have some contact with is less than 5. But I almost never see them. I’ve been fortunate to have made some new friends in recent years that actually like to get out and do things.
memymomeddit@reddit
Last I bothered to check, my best friend from that time grew up to be a MAGA shitbag who dates teenagers.
The rest of my closer friends seem to be doing ok, we just grew apart and never talk anymore.
_haha_oh_wow_@reddit
Yeah, I have no desire to hang out with people I knew in highschool. Even people I like just fine: It's just a lot of effort to keep up relationships and everyone is so busy.
If I see them around I'll probably say hi, make polite smalltalk, etc, but I'm not really going to go out of my way to go to a reunion or look someone up.
Imaginary-Desk1408@reddit
I'm still in relatively regular contact with 2 of friends from high school. I'm social media friends with a few classmates just because. I also still follow the reunion account because I'm curious about who's still going after all these years and every time, I'm not surprised.
smooshie-mooshie@reddit

TheDukeKC@reddit
I was always popular in high school. Lots of friends but I moved across the country at 25 so anyone who I still had some contact with pretty much fell off. Doesn’t bother me in the least. Not bad people but not anyone I’ll really see or talk to again.
JamesMattDillon@reddit
I'm friends on Facebook with a handful of people that I went to school. 3 of which I were friends with since we were kids, the other since high school. Everyone else from school, can suck a big fat one.

Flashtatics@reddit
I broke up with my friend group the night of graduation. They laughed, I laughed but I guess they figured it out the next week I was not around. I was done with being in a small town, being ostracized, and I didn’t want any form of connection to the old life that I was leaving.
RTMSner@reddit
I interact with one from the entire 4 years and that's because we live like two houses down from each other and he's a nice person. Everyone else... I can verify that I've seen two others. I've been out of school for 25 years.
ScorpioPhantasma@reddit
Me. I moved 5+ hours away 18 years ago and dropped Facebook several years ago. No family resides in the area and I have lost touch with almost everyone. Haven't been back for any weddings, etc. in 14 years. Not because of anything bad, just how life evolved. That chapter is simply over. I do find myself wondering what has happened to people.

sexwiththebabysitter@reddit
I went to a an all boys high school where nobody from my elementary school went. I knew nobody. One dude from my neighborhood went there but he was a couple years older, so I just hung out with my neighborhood/elementary school friends all through high school and never made new friends with anyone in high school. No interest in a reunion or talking to anyone.
yinchanvo@reddit
Mine are all 1%'ers, some even made the news in government, law, tech, and finance. They want nothing to so with me! lol
MeatPopsicle10@reddit
I don’t have contact but I’d attend a reunion if we ever had one. I floated between many different groups but didn’t have a core group of friends.
I was a runner so got friendly honks almost every day and people I didn’t know said they saw me running in their neighborhood; I was perfectly happy committing to my sport and having a school full of friendly acquaintances.
Always wanted a friend group but unfortunately my nature is friendly loner, so I have a handful of ride-or-die friends that stem from athletic-bonding lol
nonexistentnight@reddit
I work a few blocks from my high school in a public facing job and haven't even run into anyone from it in ten years. A few of my classmates went to the same college but even there we didn't see each other often. Otherwise I've seen classmates randomly maybe ten times since then? I was friendly with everyone and tight with a few people but never really friends outside of school. I hope they're doing well.
iwasnotarobot@reddit

FriedBreakfast@reddit
I would rather drink a bucket of donkey piss than to talk to any of those people again.
TinyMachine6735@reddit
I was the bad kid in high school. I had lots of friends, but I wasn't a good friend to anyone. I got in lots of trouble. I lied, I cheated, I stole, I fought. I haven't spoken to anyone I graduated with (on purpose) in at least 2 decades. After my tour in the Marines, I spent my 20s in and out of jail for various crimes. I moved away, got a degree and got a job in tech. I did some maturing and don't spend a lot of time looking back.
ChaucersDuchess@reddit
Very very very few, for both myself - one of the smart kids - and my husband - the freshman with Cerebral Palsy that threatened to kick the whole football team’s ASS after a group of them called him a “cripple.”
We didn’t date or even know each other back then - different grade, school of 2000+ kids - and met at 41/40. But I DO remember that cause I was the on the 2nd bus from where it was happening 😂
Greedy_Practice_5327@reddit

Oh hell no. Cut off contact with them all about 12 years ago when I moved across country. I do not need that negative energy in my life. Plus they are not going to care that I am doing great and just hate me more for it.
jaybomb40@reddit
Yes still in contact with a good group, we get together when we can and have our text thread. We all grew up on the same street and have kept in contact
SewistDoc46@reddit
Only my best friend in HS. We lost contact for about 11 years, then reconnected loosely through FB and were rebuilding our friendship. But when her husband died in 2022, I made a commitment to be present in her life to from then on. People disappear after that first month and it’s devastating. We are very close again now. I count her as one of my best friends again. I will say though in all the years we were apart, I thought of her so often and missed her presence in my life so much, but life got in the way(educational moves, job moves, marriages, etc). I am so grateful to have her in my life again and know that we will most likely stay close for the remainder of our lives.
Door_Number_Four@reddit
When I was in HS in my small Midwestern town, it was known that I was going to “ get out”‘from the Ruat Belt apocalypse that Reagan and Clinton foisted upon us.
And I did.
And I really don’t have contact with anyone, save a classmate of mine that is now a teacher/ athletic director there.
He knows that if there is ever a need for new athletic uniforms, or someone is having trouble getting to college interviews or needs shoes and clothes for a college tour to hit me up.
Knight_thrasher@reddit
Not I. I’ve been out of school since ‘94, about 8 years later I saw a group of girls I went to school with when the bar closed one night, helps that I went back to my given last name after HS and not my step dads

I don’t, except one or two. I was weird and unpopular except as a freak for most kids to laugh at, so I have no inclination to try to keep up with people who didn’t give a shit about me. I do hope that good things happen to some of the people I remember, and there have been some obituaries I was sad to see.
Then there were the others that I was extremely not sad to see.
kyarilora@reddit
I kept in touch with my high school best friend and we would travel to see each other and to me he was family. I don't think it was reciprocated. We had one conversation that he didn't like. It was trivial. A nursing home asked him to wear a mask while performing (he plays piano and sings) for the elderly patients that lived there. This was around 2022. He had lost l his gigs from covid and was getting back into it. He walked out and refused because it "compromised the quality" of his show. I laughed and called him a diva and that it's money - he should have done the show. He got pissed and he said he needed a break from me. Then he ghosted me. We haven't spoken since. I couldn't believe I meant so little to him that this difference in opinion would end our 25+ year friendship.
Looking back, I realized I had been the passive one in the relationship while he said and did what he wanted. He wasnt interested in someone questioning his decisions and a different perspective. Despite how it ended, I still love him and the friendship we had back then. I would not have gotten through high school without him. To deal with the pain of his rejection, I settled on the thought that he changed and I changed and as a result our time was done.
jtriomino@reddit
30 year reunion coming up. Aside from my husband whom I graduated with (got together later in life), I actively talk to one person from our class and one person from a couple classes ahead of us. While we were a smaller school, I have 0% interest in interacting. The 5 year was a hell no, too soon. The 10 year is where I reconnected with my now husband. beyond that it's been an occasional happy hour.

EastTXJosh@reddit
My only contact with high school classmates is through social media. It’s odd because I grew up in a small town where I went to school with the same people from kindergarten through graduation. I went to school with some from the time we started pre school at the age of 2. Also, I live less than an hour from my hometown, yet most of my contact with these people is strictly online.

Specific_Pilot_328@reddit
Facebook friends with a lot of them that’s it. Tho I did reconnect with a girl I liked in HS 3 years ago and we ended up in a long distance “situationship” for a year. I went home during the holidays to visit and we hooked up all week. A few months later she ended it because she was anxious about being long distance, serious and thought I was talking to someone locally (I wasn’t). She retried to FaceTime me 6 weeks ago and I hung up because I was still pissed at her. Just found out she passed away in a horrible car accident last week and now I feel guilt and sad I ignored her call and it’s just surreal she’s dead. It’s been a strange week and that was a strange year.
psilosophist@reddit
Me, but I also moved as far away as I could as soon as I could. We moved around a few times growing up so I don't have any "lifelong" friends because we'd always move right when that would become a possibility. There's a couple people I went to school with that I'll talk to, but overall I pretty much forgot high school the minute I graduated.
AshDogBucket@reddit
This is very similar to me.
taita2004@reddit

I moved to a different state so I just don’t really see anyone from then. Occasionally when I’m in town I’ll run into someone and it’s nice to catch up. I really don’t understand the people on here that are so aggressive about saying they won’t have anything to do with those people. It kinda says more about you than it does them.

The only person I ever talk to from highschool is one of my ex-girlfriends every once in a while. She was similarly an outsider so we have that in common.

My best friend and I from high school were still in regular communication until the pandemic. We just fell out of touch with each other.

I'm connected with one high school friend on social media, and that's all. He's the only one who's pretty much a wholly good person. As for the others, well, who would've thought that a gaggle of youthful miscreants and losers would grow up to be adult miscreants and losers?
Karrik478@reddit

At the end of my 20s I considered killing myself because of a constant manic happy/sad cycle. Instead I killed the person that I was and started over. Complete geographic and social restart.

I have one friend from my high school class -- by "friend," I mean someone that I would let crash at my house if they were traveling through my area or would go out for a drink. I don't hold resentment for other people being insufferable when they were 15-17 years old, but I also won't be connecting with them via social media or any other means in this lifetime.
gmo121@reddit
A HS friend reached out to me via Facebook. We talked for a bit and met for lunch. Holy cow, this dude hasn’t changed one bit since high school, (despite having a partner with kids) and we’re in our 40’s. He has the same mannerisms and says the same catch phrases we said 25 YEARS AGO. He still talks to just about everyone in our old friend group and it turns out most of them are the same, stuck in high school times and kinda lame.
So yea, I don’t have contract with high school classmates anymore.
trashpanda6798@reddit
Nah, I know a buncha them were on MySpace like 20 years ago but I’ve never had any socials besides Reddit. No real way for them to find me, and that’s assuming anyone would care 🤣
Puzzleheaded_Race_90@reddit
99% absolutely not. I wasnt popular back then. (What's that mitch hedberg joke? "I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too") all of the others, I've lost contact with. There's one friend I've searched and searched for, but I genuinely believe at this point that never one on his life had he made any kind of social media, because i can't find a trace of him. One of them, my best friend at the time, and one of the best friends I've ever had... we drifted apart, not in a bad way, just few in different directions. Went on Facebook one day randomly, about 5 years ago now, and saw an announcement for his funeral. I miss Joe a lot. I'm glad i made it to his service. Getting a little teary eyed now, sorry. The only other one i would care to meet up with again actually reached out to me about 3 years ago. I was busy on a work trip, but we were making plans to go grab lunch or something. He kept texting me asking if I knew how to contact Joe or any of the other guys, and, I didn't want to tell him in a text that I was too busy to respond to, so I was responding about how we'd talk about getting everyone we could together when I'm back. I think he may have thought I was blowing him off, because by the time I got home, he wasn't responding to texts. And I kind of realized with that, he was actually an old friend I'd rather miss than have around again. Sorry.. wordy and sentimental old man talks too much
Clear-Journalist3095@reddit
Not really. I graduated in a class of 70, and have a number of them on my Facebook friends, but don't talk regularly to any of them. I live 2,000 miles from where I grew up, so there's no randomly running into people I knew in school. almost all the people who were in my core friend group are in other states as well, and we will probably never see each other again because it would take too much orchestration and planning to make it happen. I haven't been back to my hometown in 7 years; my mom comes here to visit because it's easier for her to travel than it is for the four of us to travel.
anomalocaris_texmex@reddit
I can't remember the last time I talked to anyone I went to high school with. 2003 maybe, when I took a trip home after my undergrad?
It's not like I had tragically bad experiences or anything. High school was solidly mediocre. But I left town weeks after graduating HS to go to university, and have only visited twice since.
It's just day-care with hormones. Not really worth revisiting too much.
unlovelyladybartleby@reddit
I keep them on Facebook because their racist rants and strange conspiracy theories amuse me when I'm in the right mood. It's also a good reality check when I think "life is great in a small town" lol

burnednotdestroyed@reddit
Haven't talked to a single one of those people since graduation day. TBF I didn't talk to many of them during school either, hahaha. My friends were mostly outside of school. My sister (two years behind me) still is in touch with and talks to most of her high school friends regularly.

I’m going to a concert with my best friend from high school in 11 hours. We’re both in our 40s. I don’t really talk to anyone else and don’t have social media to “stay in touch.” I would be fine saying hi to people I know from that time though if I were to pass them.

I have two high school era acquaintances that I keep in contact with. In my 30’s I tried reconnecting with some others and realized that we are not the same people anymore and what made us friends as teenagers isn’t there anymore.

RathielintheRun@reddit
There are about a half dozen people I knew in high school that I was friends with through nerdy hobbies, like D&D and Magic: The Gathering that I was really tight with, super good friends, and I’m still tight with them today. The ones that aren’t local, we still get together for Magic weekends once a year or so, and the ones that are, there’s literally still in my weekly D&D night. I graduated almost 30 years ago and these people are still some of my best friends in the world.
As for the rest of my graduating class outside of them… I see a small handful of them on Facebook from time to time, and that’s about it. I bumped into a few of them here and they’re over the years, but I don’t go out of my way to communicate with them. I’ve never bothered to attend a high school reunion. I’ve got my close friends who are my ride or dies, and at this point, I think those people are going to be with me for the rest of my life. Everybody else from my high school days, not really a factor in my world.
nutime43@reddit
I left high school and that was it, a flash in my past. There are people from high school that if I ran into them we could talk and catch up, but I have no desire to maintain any personal relationships with any of them. I feel bad for people who feel like high school was their peak, there have been so many amazing things that have happened in my life since then.

I stay in touch with a friend. Other than that I’m Facebook friends with a lot of my class (small town, small school) but rarely interact with them. In 2021 my best friend passed away and quite a few of us were at the funeral and there was talk of keeping in touch and getting together which hasn’t happened. Or it has and I wasn’t invited, which is real possibility.

My friends from high school are decent people we just lost touch over the years. I reconnected with a couple of middle school friends on facebook years ago but that fizzled as we all live in different states.
I never truly had any close friends in high school though.

The last time I willingly spoke to someone from HS was graduation.
A few years later, I was working at Kohl's and a HS classmate was a customer of mine. We made small talk but she was basically any other customer. I think that was the last time I spoke to a HS classmate.
