Ever Had To Go Seperate Ways?

    It's the beginning of summer. The beginning of holidays for many people still in school.

    But it could also mean some sad goodbyes to friends you may never see again. Especially if you just finished a senior year at Junior or High School.


    I'm not sure if it works this way everywhere, but where I am, we have more than one high school. And most of my friends practically split between the two.

    So in the end, I said goodbye to all of them because I chose a smaller high school since choosing one of the bigger ones was too hard.

    It wasn't actually a goodbye though. I never even told them.

    I decided it was best if they never knew, and than maybe we'd all forget about each other, since I know i'll probably never see most of them again anyways.

    So did you ever have to make a choice like this?
     
    I'm only going from Junior to Senior year so no, I'm not saying goodbye to anyone >.o
     
    As it's the middle of the school year for me, I don't have to face this problem. Unfortunately, I did face it when moving from primary to intermediate, and then again from intermediate to high school. It's sad at the time, of course, but new friends do come along. I only wish that I'd stayed in touch with more of them.
     
    I had a friend in 4th year/grade.. he was awesome, but during year 6...we weren't friends anymore. He's at my high school now, but unfortunately, we we're not able to recreate the friendship.
     
    I was never close to anyone in school, so it wasn't a big deal for me. Leaving primary school and leaving high school (we don't have middle schools here), I never had the worry in mind of leaving friends behind. It just was not a big deal at all. Leaving high school there was this one person I didn't want to leave behind (the only real true friend I had there), but I had no worries about that because we had the means to stay in touch and remained best friends to this day and onwards, years after leaving high school.
     
    Not much of a problem with me, since I can still see my classmates after a few months. We are just living in different cities.
     
    I had a friend when I was younger, who stayed near me with his auntie and we were really close. Then after a few years he had to go live with his family in China so he moved back there. Now It's been over a decade since I last seen him, I remember crying my eyes out when he left. I think that was actually one of the last times I ever cried.
     
    During my 8th grade year I said good bye to a lot of my good friends that I had known since pre k. But, I'm in High School so I'm not really saying good bye to anyone :D
     
    Last year I left college for Uni. Even thought it was only two years that I was there, my Politics and Philsophy classes were close and it wasn't nice seeing lots of my good mates leave London for Uni
     
    Aah, I have had to experience this many times. I have moved many times. From Long Island to Florida, then to New York. I met cool people down in Florida, and saying good bye was not easy.
     
    Once you're done with a phase of your life, a new one starts, usually more interesting. School->University->Job. In the last one you're being paid. You just have to see the brightside.
     
    I've had to cut people out of my life before because of things they did to me, but I've never actually had to part ways because of school reasons yet. But, the people I had to cut out of my life hurt, 'cause I cared about those people...I guess things happen though. I'm over it for the most part, it was a while ago.
     
    In everybody's life there are circumstances where he/she has to take a firm decision of leaving a thing for ever.
    I have never faced it, it's my last year of schooling & at the end of the year, I too will be drawn away from my friends, but, this is what is called LIFE.
     
    Well, I never faced that kind of a situation. Besides, I'd always maintain contact with my friends no matter what.
     
    I'm only parting ways to a few pepole, as the secondary school i'm going to is very popular, which makes a change from what happend last time, when i was the only one moving, as i moved hometown.
     
    I'm in my fifth school (I should only be in my second by now), so I've had to say goodbye a fair few times, and my current school is international, so there's people coming and going all the time. I've got to a stage where saying goodbye doesn't upset me as much as it used to - I can keep in contact with Facebook, Skype, MSN etc. And if we're still close, I'll be able to visit them soon enough, my parents would let me visit friends if I had the money.
    It's only really the friends I had as a child that I lost contact with, I had one best friend who I spent every day with for years then we lost contact, recently we found each other again but we've both changed a lot and rebuilding the relationship isn't working :/
    I know that I'll always have good friends though, so saying goodbye doesn't bother me so much :3
    Two of my best friends are leaving my school this year, one to go the the US and one to go to England, but I know I'll still talk to both of them a lot and see them again some time <3
     
    I am going into my senior year this year, so far this hasn't happened to me. I know though when I graduate, this will be a very hard thing for me to do.
     
    Lovers become friends, brothers become distant and best friends become strangers. Saying your goodbyes and going different ways is just another part of life, and distancing augments more and more with each unsaid word. People cry during their senior years, but it makes me emotional every year. With new classes and so many kids, there's not a good chance you'll end up with your same group of friends. You forgot to talk to certain people in the rush of each day, and before long you see your old friend and can't even talk anymore due to the awkward realization that you no longer know that person. But then, you have new friends.

    It's an interesting cycle, but it's also chance and time playing with our schedules. You can't avoid going separate ways. The best you can do is admire the friends you have now and keep yourself close to them. When you've separated and become strangers with a friend, you can watch him from afar and silently rejoice in his triumphs and mourn with him when he's lost. Some relationships cannot be rekindled.
     
    Well, a really close friend of mine is moving away to Cornwall in the Summer Holidays, just as we're starting our GCSE's, so Ii'm understandably extremley saddened at the prospect, I'm hoping to stay in contact though.. So yeah.
     
    I'm going into my first year of university in a few months, and I'll be leaving quite a few friends from high school. But with facebook and everything, I doubt this is goodbye.
