Boett43 Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Heres my story and id like some opinons from others after the read it. Im a senior in highschool im not the most popular kid in school but i know and get along with alot of people but I dont see many of them a true friends like they are just more of someone i can sit and talk with every now and then and not rely on them to heavily for anything. And then there is my bestfriend who graduated last year me and him do everything together including fish and me and are gonna be friends for a long time now.So i just wanted to see what other people say about having one really good best friend apposed to alot of so-so friends should i make an attempt to make another solid friend even though i probaly wont see alot of these people after i graduate? Just needed to clear my chest tell me what yall think Big B Quote
Bassboy15 Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 I have about 5 GOOD close friends then I have alot of friends that i just talk to in school, not hang out out of school. Quote
tipptruck1 Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Hey I was like you back in high school. I had friends I hung with at home or there place. Then theres friends that you just hang out with at school. Iam the same way now with work and college. I have work friends that I see enough at work. Then I have friends I would go to the bar with and have a few drinks with. But when you get older you relise that you have mabye a couple of close friends. I have one and hes like a brother to me. Sure he dose dumb stuff and I get mad at him from time to time. As for making close friends don't worry about it. The more friends you have in this world it seems like the more trouble you get into. So just stick to one close friend and a few other friends. By the way a close friend will bend over backwards to help you. They will also be there for you no matter what happens. Belive me on the last part of that one. My buddy forgave me for my crime. My family still hasn't. Quote

frogtog Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 I am just tickle pink, Tipptruck is giving someone advice. I new he could do it, It's been a long time coming hasn't it Tipp. ;D Quote

Super User Root beer Posted October 30, 2007 Super User Posted October 30, 2007 I'm same way. I'm also a senior in high school. I got lot of friends inside of school that I talk to in classroom, lunch room, etc. But outside of school I only hang out with 2-3 people. And that dont bother me. I rather be with 2 best friends then 100 friends. It not about how long you known a friend, it about who never left your side. Quote
TopDog Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 I graduated High school in 1990 Time sure flys believe me. In high school I was not the most popular kid, but I hung out with the Jocks, the geeks, the muscle heads, the head bangers all of them. I got along with everyone. I had one Best friend that I met Sophmore year in high school (1987). We hung out Every single day for the first 3 years. then It was 90 percent than 80 then on and on and on. Fast Forward........ He was here Saturday night and we polished off a case of beers after I put my kids to bed . We dont see each other as much, Maybe once or twice a month, we still have our yearly fishing trips, Talk and IM and email ALL the time. Its good to have at least one best friend. Quote
fisherdave Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 I believe there is only on eman that one you need to worry about keepen as a best friend and thats the big man upstairs. I have been graduated for 5 years and time does fly and I had my friends in high school and I had my bestfriend but it seems like once you get out get married have kids life comes at you to fast to worry about best friends and stuff not telling you to blow off your best friend but I think once you have a family they become your best friend. I do know one thing for sure all that high school popularity does you know good once your in the real world. I guess it would be nice to have that one friend you could always rely on to be there when the boat is loaded. Quote
Super User grimlin Posted October 30, 2007 Super User Posted October 30, 2007 once you get out get married have kids life comes at you to fast to worry about best friends and stuff not telling you to blow off your best friend but I think once you have a family they become your best friend. Funny how that works....This applys to me.I have no best friends here except my family(my girl and little boy).I moved up here for her to be together.I have 2 best friends in TX i'd love to hang out for a day someday. Everybody i know here and in TX don't fish...so i'm somewhat lonely on my fishing trips.Doesn't really bother me much. I will admit though there are times i wish i knew somebody decent enough to hang around up here...it takes time for somebody to earn my trust,so i'm somewhat cautious about who i meet here.I've been screwed over 3 times here with people stealing from me.So my guard is kinda high now.

W1-10 Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 The small things about your personality, (bands, cars, gossip) all that changes with time. The one or two people you know and who know you, really know you........ will be a constant in your life for awhile. Maybe not forever, but a long while. You're going to change a lot after high school, well always for that matter, but the core of your personality will remain the same. If you've found a couple people who know you at that core, then you have all the friends you need. Maintain those few friendships now, take the time out to be a true friend to the guys that have earned your respect, weather they pay that back is how you measure their worth to you. Quote
dave Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 I try to convey to my HS senior daughter that even though HS seems hard and so many things that are going on in her life seems so important, these are the easiest days and nothing that seems to be important now will matter or even be remembered in 20 or even 10 years. Enjoy now and make the right choices. Quote
fisherdave Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Its amazing how things change after that summer out of school inless you go off to college then that I guess somewhat like high school atleast you can party leaglly. But anyway you will figure out who your real friends are after school, all my firends would have made married life dificult because there all still single and partying it up and for some reason they think you should still be able to.

basspro48 Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 I got a lot of friends that I just talk to at school, but I have about 2 or 3 real good friends that I hang out and fish with... But now I'm going through some things and I'm starting to find out who I thought my friends were and who really is a friend... Quote
Boett43 Posted November 3, 2007 Author Posted November 3, 2007 Yeah im starting to not worry soo much about what other people think about me if they like me they like me becuase i already know i have a few good friends who will be there fishing with me for a long time.. Quote
