| 3 of my best friends are from high school, so daily. The rest, nope I haven’t spoken to them in nearly 20 years. |

| 0. Why would I want to talk to all those bullies |

| None, I was not able to go the "full" college route and had to work my way through to finally get a degree. No complaints but it was tough to have those that did not have my financial circumstances just ditch me and move on. Twenty year reunion was this past year, I receive a strange call on the Saturday before from a number I did not recognize. It was one of my very close (or so I thought) high school friends calling to catch up, lol. I assumed she got my number from one of my sisters friends since she is big on the alumni scene of that school. Strangely she started chatting like it was just yesterday and no time had gone by. I let her ramble for a few and then I calmly said hello, you missed my entire life, goodbye. The friends I made in my adult life are infinitely more in touch with me and my world. I am blessed to have found them. |

| 0. I moved away and life got busy. I’m terrible at reaching out. |

I’m Facebook friends with a few and have one close friend I see every few years.
The only high school friend with whom I have regular contact is the one I married. I’m not any closer to my college friends, though. |

I went to a local private school in Bethesda and my core friend group are my high school buddies. We all live within 15 minutes of each other, our kids our friends, wives are friends, and I’m friends with their parents.
It’s fantastic. 90% of my social interaction is with them. Some may think that’s bizarre but it’s amazing have such close friends that have been with me for decades. |

| None. I went to our 30th reunion though, and while I found most of the people there were nice and it was fun to see how their lives turned out, my life was and is very different from anything that anyone else did. We had little in common. So, no hate, but nothing on which to base a friendship either. |

One of my closest friends now is someone I went to high school with, we were in the same friend group but not as close in high school. We text every day and see each other frequently.
My best friend at the time I see when she is town - twice in the last year, not at all in the previous two years because of Covid. We also went to the same college, but she is really terrible at staying in touch and sharing details about her life, so I wouldn't stay we are very close otherwise. I don't think I have seen anyone else from high school since before Covid, but am connected to some people on social media. |
