This thought scares the heck out of me, I dont wanna lose all of my friends. Im sure ill keep some of them, I mean my mom has friends that she's known since middle school, but still....

I talk to absolutely no one from HS anymore. They've all gotten married or moved and forgotten I exist. Marriage...that's the real kicker.

It wasn't a big deal to me. I don't talk to anyone that I graduated with, not even ONE person. I actually didn't even really have too many friends throughout high school and by senior year, I just wanted to leave that place and get away from those people and never look back. I hope I never speak to any of them again. I guess it's easier to leave high school when you loathed it and didn't really have any close friendships with anyone.

However, I can imagine how difficult it would be to have close friends and have to go your seperate ways come graduation. But I guess I am just lucky enough not to have any of those high school ties.

I don't see any of my HS friends anymore. I went to college with a few of them but when that was finished we all just went our separate ways. I had very little in common with them after that. Most of them got married, had kids right after college and didn't really have time to hang out anymore. I was single and working full time up until a few months ago so I didn't really have much free time either. I do think that it is possible to keep in contact with HS friends after graduation though. My brother who is 40 is still very good friends with 2 of his old HS classmates, if fact they have all been very close since their elementary school days.
I think it really all depends on how close the friendship is to begin with. I had friends in HS but never any really close friends, just people who happened to be in some of my classes. Every year in HS I hung around with different people.

I know we will all change but I hope to grow old with a few of them...ahh im nervous for college

To answer your question...yes it is possible. But it takes work from both sides. I have friends from high school that I'm still very close to today. Infact, they all call my parents mom and dad. We've been there for weddings, births, birthdays, fights with spouses, and we are about to go through a REAL nasty divorce. Some people from high school I'll probably never see again other than reunions...but there are those few.

It was probably a bit easier for me b/c I've had to keep in touch with people for years. I moved around alot and I am still friends with people I went to elementary school with. I actually went back to Florida a few years back and met her boyfriend and then 2 year old son. It was great seeing her and her family again.

Email has helped a BUNCH in keeping touch. Use it often and you can stay in contact with your friends.
