[quote=Anonymous]Other things contribute to the kinds of friendships that start when you are in elementary or middle school and last into adulthood. Not just going to school together but also: family compatibility, geographic proximity, and having the same or at least complimentary interests.

I went to the school with the same people from kindergarten through high school but all of my friends from K-12 are from high school because that is when I got involved with two serious extracurriculars and met people who were similarly passionate about them. If I ran into my friends from elementary and MS, we'd be happy to see each other and catch up, but we don't stay in touch in the same way because we didn't have that intense bonding that comes from spending every day together after school for months and months.

Of my friends from HS, one transferred to our school as a sophomore after moving from out of state, two attended a different MS from me (one of whom was actually a year behind me in school), and one had gone to school with me since K but I honestly don't remember a single conversation prior to our freshman year of high school.[/quote]
