You don't think good friends exist? what a sad way of thinking. I agree it's very sad. I believe in acquaintances, and in "friends" but I've never seen someone I considered a good friend. As a kid I had what I considered to be good friends but as you grow older you grow apart. It just happens. Then you get friends in HS and in college and again, those are just momentary friends. You might keep in touch but you dont really speak as often as you did in school. Then you have work place friends..... im at work to make money not so much to make friends. Although the friend I talk to most these days is an ex coworker. I just feel the term GOOD FRIEND is an unneeded label, why not just leave it at friend? It's like saying you had a Super Fantastic Nice day, why all the additional adjectives? Im speaking from personal experiences, maybe you've had better personal bonds with people? I've had all kinds of friends over the years. I went through a period where I felt like I didn't have friends outside of my dad, though. Because like you said, people grow up, grow apart and change. But over the last five years I've made two great friends. Two guys that I know would (and have been) there whenever I need them. Two guys who I have completely different, yet equally awesome friendships with. These two guys will be groomsmen in my wedding, and barring any of us moving way far off, I don't see that changing. I don't see them every day but I talk with them both every day.

Out of all those people there are only 2 you call good friends? Friends are few and far inbetween.

Sarcastic, hipster douchebag that somehow people liked and talked to a lot. Funny, witty, nerdy, etc. I mean, I'm nice...but only to those I liked. And I was pretty straight forward with that.
I got class loudmouth, so there's that.

My status in high school was really strange. I was really quiet and kind of acted like a loner. I usually hung out with the outcast kind of group. Yet I was friends just about everyone in my class. Jocks loved me, nerds loved me, popular kids loved me.
I was quiet and kept to myself but I was friendly to everyone that approached me and I was always laid back.

Was a bit of a loner in Freshman and Sophomore year, but never entirely because I was friends with a lot of "popular" kids. I ended up becoming one myself Junior and Senior year. It was truthfully a blast and I have nothing but fond memories of those years.

Not really sure. I was kinda cool but nothing more than that. Always bullied for my love for wrestling, always stabbed in the back by "friends". To the person who said they never had good friends, I see what they say. I was often left out of things, spent most of my time alone. Between the struggle of keeping good grades and the social life it was a miserable time. Without wrestling and friends outside of school I was just always sad

I'm sort of the nerd that's pretty friendly with everyone. I talk to my nerdy friends a lot more though. I don't hide my love for wrestling or punk rock. Hell, I even have a red ribbon with sXe and straight edge on my binder. They usually make the "you spelled sex wrong" joke, but I don't really mind. I'm in the 10th grade, by the way. I also don't hide my goal of eventually becoming a professional wrestler with my friends.

Im the guy that loved soccer and wrestling (but ofc nobody knew that because you know they'll just tell me its fake blah blah blah). I was quiet and probably above average in terms of how smart I was and never had a problem with a teacher. Hell, my form tutor liked me that much that he Gave zero s when I didn't turn up for registration all year. I wasn't a nerd or anything like that, I was just that laid back guy that disliked school and would get the grades he needed to get, mostly C's & B's. I had a small group of friends and always hung out with people older than me at break/lunch and outside of school, so never really tried to make a whole load of friends, probably less than 10 throughout the whole of school. No one messed with me either because having three older brothers and hanging out with people older than you made people crapthemselves haha

High school was weird because I was all over the place. Hung out with the bad asses/bullies most of the time. Played two years of Varsity basketball so also spent a lot of time with the jocks. However, academically I was way ahead of both of my social circles and took quite a few honors classes where I was cool with a lot of the so called 'nerds' and outsiders. I honestly felt more comfortable around them since they were actually interested in my secret hobbies of comics and wrestling. Was also 'in' with the upper classes since my older brother had already been going there and pretty much introduced me to everyone my 1st week freshman year. Was also 'that guy that knocked up his high school sweet heart' my senior year (we hooked up my freshman her sophomore year, she was already graduated when she became pregnant).

I was quiet, shy and kept to myself. Most other kids seriously thought I could not talk. I got picked on sometimes but mostly nobody noticed me. I liked to just blend into the background and be left alone.

Oddly enough I've never been bullied or made fun of or whatever for being "The Wrestling Guy" in my year group. Normally I'm the person who everyone seeks out if they are trying to remember who Undertaker fought in a buried alive match or whatever. I never really openly told that many people about how I love wrestling, most found out by seeing that I follow about 200 wrestlers on Twitter or I'm checking out a PWG preview video in registration but they're all cool with it and ask me what I thought about WrestleMania or whatever PPV has just taken place.
In terms of friends, I'm sort of an all around guy. My best friends are mostly gamer nerds, but I'm cool with the popular guys and girls because they were my friends in Primary (Elementary) school. I play a lot of basketball so I tend to get on pretty well with the jocks etc. The only people I don't get on well with are the band/choir people because the majority of them are pretentious idiots and look down on the rest of the school because they can play the triangle or whatever.

I was definetly the good grade girl type in High School. Never got a detention, was never late, always went the extra mile for stuff (and no, I wasn't the "What's the homework for the weekend" person, I didn't take it that far, LOL) Sometimes I look back and think what it would've been like to get in trouble, or spend a day after school in detention? I was not the party go person; always kept to myself, which made me a bit of a loner a majority of the time.

I was one of those cool a-holes that you either loved or hated. I was more of the latter than the former. I didn't really care at all. My high school was a ten floor "prison" with metal detectors. The one thing I loved about high school was I had Times Square, Grand Central Terminal, Penn Station/Madison Square Garden all within walking distance. The pros outweighed the cons for me. Most of the people I graduated with became a full of ****. So, the joke is on them.

I'm glad the building that houses it was shown on WWE TV several times. As was in several movies as well.

I'd say I am pretty well known, but not in the egotistical "everybody look at me" way. The way I speak is borderline posh (No, I don't have the strange, nasal-y accet of posh people. I'm not even posh, it's just how I speak.) so sometimes people will comment on that. I have 2 very close friends, but I get along with a lot of others. My love for wrestling is known throughout the school, so I will occasionally get the odd insult or two but nothing major. (Sidenote: I sometimes judge people on their knowledge of wrestling, so if somebody walks past me and patronisingly shouts "Randy Orton coming off the top rope", I will think to myself, "He doesn't go to the top rope much")
History nut, so I can be quite boring at times. Often hanging around with the "emo" group (Who I am constantly defending as not being emo's. Because they aren't) But I would like to get away from them, as I have pretty much drained any conversation possibilities. Most people just call me "odd", and a nerd at times, because I am the only one in my class who completes homework, on time and consistently. I hate most sports, and would much rather draw something than go and loiter around in the street.
So basically, I'm insecure and weird. Woo.

I only really hung out with my closest friends at school. When I wasn't with them, I was just a very shy and quiet person but in my last couple years of school I started to grow in confidence and just got on with most people I was with in classes.

I was in the "normal guy" group that was friends with every stupid "clique" around. I never had any major fights or rivalries in high school but I wasn't unpopular. Just one of the guys, something I've always been grateful for.
