People you knew from highschool

The marrying of high school sweet hearts is almost always a doom sentence.  The only case that I'm familiar with where it DIDN'T fail was with my parents. 

didn't they have you?

People usually jog in a marathon. If you constantly look at others and try to gauge your happiness compared to theirs by the shit they have, the shit they do, the person they fuck etc you'll never be happy. Do your own thing and be happy in yourself.

The marrying of high school sweet hearts is almost always a doom sentence.  The only case that I'm familiar with where it DIDN'T fail was with my parents. 

One of my friends from college started dating this girl in HS (only girl he ever dated, he was the only guy she ever dated), got married after they both graduated, and then just recently had a kid. It was weird to me, since I've dated so many tons of girls over the years.

I rarely ever run into anyone from high school, and I work in the town I grew up in.

Same here.  About the only person I see with any regularity is the dietician I go to...she went to high school with me, but we weren't in the same social circles.  I was surprised she even remembered me, because I didn't remember her.    

There's one friend I went to high school with that I have seen like three times in the past few years.  Apart from him, the only other contact I have with people I went to school with is on Facebook.  Nobody I ever run into or chat with has ever bragged about their lives though...who does that!?

But I am still friends with college people.  I figured I'd lost touch with high school people anyway.  I was barely even there my last year; was part of the "marketing program," which really just meant I got to go to school for two morning classes, then leave and go to work/home/wherever.  I wasn't even in the yearbook!

Most people I know from HS still are drunks, pill poppers, or stoners.  Most of them don't have shit and just live at home, sponging off of their parents and then going to the bars at night.  These are the upper middle class and upper class people that thought they were going to be ballers and shot callers by the time they were 25.

Most of them date/fuck within the groups, trying to recapture their HS glory days I suppose.  Some I've talked to are completely boring and self obsessed.  They go insane about status and think that it is my obligation to help them find a job where I work because we're all bros right?  I get a lot of them wanting to add me to their Facebook but I usually ignore the requests.

I only know of a couple of people who aren't losers.  However, we're all in our mid 20s in an economy that is disproportionately harsh towards people my age.  If things improve, within 10 years, maybe they will have made significant strides.  As of now, nothing yet.  Not that I really care.  Not everyone can be rich - the world needs a lot more toilet scrubbers and fry cooks than lawyers.

I've actually kept in touch pretty well with some of the people that I hung with in high school. I still frequently talk to both of my best friends from high school, which is funny because one of them posts on this board and the other one posts on GAF.

If it wasn't for brandonh83 I wouldn't even be on this board, lol. He was like OMG let's laugh at people on GAF so I got an account.

In terms of other people from high school, I've actually worked alongside of some of them. One friend of mine I actually worked with at Liquor World when I lived in Richmond and I actually worked with a few people when I worked at a call center in London for a while. Again, most of them are either married or still living at home.
