set an alarm to 3:00 am and put it under the victims bed, when it goes off in the morning they won't be able to put it off, cuz they won't be able to find it.

Do you ever see your high school friends again after graduation?

We Answered:

it depends on whether you wish to make the effort. after high school people may move, some people stay in the same town, people go to college or get jobs and everyone gets really really busy, making time out to see your friends is very important so that you dont lose them, you may make new friends wherever you go, but always remember to pick up the phone and send a txt or an email or say hi on fb and try to find a date that everyone is free or most is free, dont give up if people are busy at the same times, if you can only catch up with one friend at a time, then take it, if theyre true friends, they will also make the effort to see you. and if theyre true friends, it wont matter if you see them every week or only once a month or once a year, true friends can sit around, talk and laugh like you were never apart, theyre not bitter because you are too busy to hang out or whatever. make the most of any time you do get to spend together after high school too - dont just go to clubs or place you cant talk - go to fun places like theme parks or just out to dinner and a movie, somewhere you can chat easily and keep up to date with what everyone is doing so you never feel disconnected!

Did you keep your closest friends after high school- transitioning into college?

We Answered:

I'm graduated college a little over a year ago. I moved away to school and none of my HS friends went with me... Then after graduating I moved even further away to another state!

But my HS friends are STILL my best friends! Even though I live a while away now we still talk reguarly. And I travel back some weekends to see them, or they come here.

Of course we're not as close as HS days, seeing as we don't get to hang out as often. But they are still my #1's and I don't see that changing from here on out... =)

So basically I wouldnt worry. If we're extremely close now it will probably stay that way. Even if you guys change over the next few years, I think your bond will stay true!
Good luck! =)

How do you rekindle your high school friends?

We Answered:

What a great friend you must be! Be honest with your friends that you feel that everyone is drifting apart, and ask them for their opinions on how you can still get "memory-making" time together. I'd suggest whatever originally drew you all together, whether that involved sports, neighorhood, or other shared interests. Of course, everyone loves a party, but maybe you could commit to an activity one day a month, perhaps a sporting event, or casual get together, even dinner out.

While it can be true that friends grow closer as the realization of looming adulthood and separation strikes, it's also just a likely that at this stage of your lives, as everyone begins to look forward that you are all destined for separate paths and those shared interests that once made you all friends are no longer there. People become busy with boy/girlfriends, applying for college, preparing for life outside of high school and my experience has shown me that no matter how much individuals may care for one another, as life takes us all in different directions at different times, it's impossible to keep even the closet relationships the same forever.

As individuals head off to different colleges, the military, working life, people will naturally drift apart. Being married and having children are also times when it's very difficult for friends to remain connected. Just try to make sure that you don't go too long without touching base with a person, try to remember birthdays or other little things that can keep you connected as life pulls you apart. But, also, don't worry too much when/if life does separate you, it's part of growing up and you will continue to make new friends, who share your common interests, for the rest of your life!

Marlene Said:

Is keeping close with high school friends through college do-able?

We Answered:

The sad truth is that what you've heard is pretty much right. One thing you'll see is that a lot of the friends you had were schools friends. It's not something you think about because you see them every day at school but if you think about it I bet you don't hang out with a lot of them outside of school.

As far as close friends it is possible to stay close. But you will most likely drift apart. Think about it. You'll be super busy with school and possibly work, making new friends, and incapable of actually spending time with old friends. It creates a relationship distance. The bright side is that you'll be making new friends. For most people, the friends you have for the rest of your life are primarily the ones you make in college, not high school.

Edit:
To the guy above me, I agree. I've never been involved in a frat but I've never seen it as much more than kids who don't want to let go of the immaturity and hierarchy of high school life. It's high school 2.0, in my opinion. Make up your own mind on that. Plenty of people love frats and sororities. For me, I can drink all the beer I want with friends without being hazed and telling some dipsht Yes Sir, No Sir.

No thanks.
