Not really. It sounds stupid but they've all changed. I have too. They've all moved onto uni and a new group of friends.

Roundtable buddies for life!

PM me?



Fair enough, it sucks when that happens.

Such is life. People grow up and move on with their lives. People change. You can't honestly have expected to stay 'best pals' with everyone in your year level in high school?

You'll find after a while that the only thing you have in common with many of these friends is the past. But now you've got the whole world to chose from to make friends....

WGMG: I've been out of the dating scene for so long that I've forgotten everything about it.

You edited your OP before I could point out what you were doing wrong.

Was hardly expecting to stay best pals, but was at least expecting to keep in touch with a couple of them. Most of them either blatantly ignore me, barely talk when they do, or have just deleted me from their lives entirely. Turns out high school was a load of bullshit :lol:

WGMG: Turns out when I've had bugger all sleep, I become a little bit sexist! :lol:

You can't make deliberately inflammatory posts like "Fuck religion" on facebook and not expect to lose a few acquaintances/friends because of it.

My best friend did this to me. If its any consolation, high school is such a small part of life. It's so cliquey as well, i've found that whilst I miss hanging out with my mates at school, I'm enjoying uni life more because I don't feel like I'm being judged by anyone. At high school, there's so much pressure to do certain things.

This was going on long before that.

High five! :lol:

These things happen Maxi but you've still got plenty of time to make new friends and strengthen relationships with existing friends, I mean one of my closest mates now was a mere acquaintance/friend of a friend when I was in school.

I have drifted a bit from my school friends as I moved to the city and moved into student accommodation, it was easy to make new friends here and when you live with these mates, share classes with them and basically barely have any time away from them you form ridiculously strong bonds. I don't make anywhere near as much an effort as I should to keep in touch with mates from home which is sad, but the friendships I have formed at uni are so strong and will definitely be the friendships that last through life, I'm incredibly grateful for having the chance to meet such a quality bunch of people.

I've realized how much I've changed when I go home and catch up with mates from school and how we aren't as close as we used to be, but I'm easily reminded of how good they are and we still have plenty of fun catching up. Basically there's plenty of time to make new relationships and your existing friendships can still be maintained if you put in some effort.

You were posting potentially inflammatory posts long before that too. People are going to be fickle.

You've got the rest of your life to make friends champ. Don't let the community you were shoe-horned into as a young adolescent determine your social standing.

We say on here all the time, once you get out into the real world you meet more similarly minded people and get into a social circle that's much tighter than high school.

WGMG: Negativity for the sake of negativity
WAGMG: How hypocritical that WGMG is.

WGMG: When people bail out on plans last minute.

WGMGEM: Having to redo a website from scratch, including Interactive logo's of design elements and principles, because my HDD has seemingly shat itself. Guess this is why people back stuff up.

WGMG: Just when i think ive gotten over this girl i like, i bump in to her and back to square one.

WGMGEM: Microphone wont work on uni camera and assignment is due on Friday.

Cheers afro and Fredsta, you guys posted exactly what I needed to read. I'm still sad as fuck that I'm not close with my mates anymore, but I've got some faith now that I'll find some better friends in the future.

What do you mean it "won't work"?

WGMG: People in my year level who think they're top shit cause of the uni courses they'll be doing next year. i couldnt give the slightest of shits that you'll be doing Environmental Law and whatnot, just stop telling everyone at every chance you get!

Is it wrong for them to be excited about the course they're aiming for?

it was barely exciting the first time they told me. it gets a little stale after the 100th time.

Clearly it's exciting for them.

Wait, what? Are you at uni and these people are boasting that they're enrolling in x,y & z courses next year? Or are you in year 12? Thought regardless what state you're in you don't receive tertiary offers until late December or early January?

WGMG: Compiling a list of bands to listen to whilst on the way back from running training. Get back from running training...can't remeber a damn one.

I do this all the time with MOG. Only it happens in the time it takes to pick up my phone and plug the earbuds in. ](*,)

Well done team. 1200 pages of bitching :lol:

was just thinking exactly the same thing.

WGMG: My neighbours deciding that this would be the best morning for them to test out all of their power tools. Rage.
