I've not really seen anyone from 1st school since 1st school (unless they came to my secondary school) and I've barely seen anyone from my secondary school since i've left secondary school...
Both cases, kept in touch with the ones I was mates with, and didn't really want to know the rest any more. Unsurprisngly, after going to a college quite far from my local area and spending the last 4 years at uni, our paths haven't crossed...
However, when I look at facebook, I find it really weird seeing these people I went to school with and I've either not seen for say 5-6 years, or not seen for 10 years +!
They all look so old ...  and all look like adults 
But the strange thing is, I can't look at any of them, without thinking about how they used to look. Some look completely different, but some look similar to what they looked like, but older... obviously you remember 'haha he wet himself' or 'I remember having a fight with him' etc.

All the ugly birds have turned into lookers ive found Well most of them 
Ive kept in touch with quite a few friends, i regularly see at least 5 people i used to go to school with and see and talk to other on other occassions.
I love Facebook for this kind of thing and i know people must comment on how much ive changed just as i do them

I spotted a girl on facebook that used to be in my class, I didn't recognise the photo, just the name. We both hated each other in school and she was a bit rough
But her profile pic  She's stunning, couldn't believe the difference. Wouldn't of touched her with a barge pole, back at school, now someone'd have to drag me off her

Most of my close friends are ones I have known all my life. However I have been added on facebook by a few I used to go to school with. Wouldnt recognise them if they came up to me
Got added by a girl I used to go out with in juniors (if you can call it going out then, more just holding hands and shit )
She is a proper stunning now, must have been fucking stupid to ditch her

The only people I've seen from school in the last about 6 months is a lad that I never liked, 2 girls that I used to be seeing, and a couple of other girls that were good mates. Only reason I saw em all was cos I got invited to one of em's 21st. I kinda lost touch with everyone from school after about a year. I've never been good with keeping in touch

im 30 now and there are only 2 of my mates from my year who are still real good mates and one of them is my brother in law, and about 5 from the year below me who i class as good mates, but i only see 3 of them regularly as a few have moved to liverpool and manchester. i still see a few people i went to school with in the pub now and again but just have a quick chat with them and thats it.
10 years ago there was a big group of us that were all good mates, town every week, holidays etc, sad how it all falls away but thats getting old for you i suppose.

It's crazy isn't it, people just move on i suppose (including yourself etc), I have grown apart from a few mates as they have changed with jobs/girls etc and i've changed (a bit ) suppose that's just life. I know I will always have at least 2 mates for life
