Yes, I'm 61 and keep in touch with many childhood/high school friends. Our reunions are always well attended, probably 150-200 people. We have a class Facebook group. Back in 94-95 we set up an email group for our class that reconnected many of us.
I have a group of 15-20 girlfriends that meet a few times a year (the locals) and we have gone on short trips a few times. It's just like we have never been apart, we're very lucky.
And my mom is 81. Her high school class has reunion weekends every year and about 30-35 attend still.
More no than yes. I have a few as Facebook friends, but we've got little in common now, and don't really talk. I don't really like them or hate them, they're just out there. Random connections that don't mean much. Even if a few were boyfriends, or FWB types back then. Our connection faded away to no real significance a long time ago. And I moved again and again, and landed quite far away from any of them. I've never been to a high school reunion, and I don't even know which school's reunion I'd attend if I were so inclined since I went to 4 different high schools growing up. I graduated in 1997.
It's like...the ones whose full names I could recall, I developed a smidge of curiosity to see how they were doing in life, so many years later, and maybe I found them online and did a little surface level social media snooping in the spirit of curiosity, but it really didn't go any further than that. Seems like we've all evolved in very different directions.
A classmate of mine got busy on facebook contacting everybody from our class and getting us all to "friend" each other. She also did this with students in other graduating class from our school and each class has their own page. I've messaged some good classmates I hadn't heard from in years. It was good to hear from them.
I graduated a LONG time ago, and still have a couple of H.S. "friends" (very, very casual "relationships" - more like acquaintances now). I have a bunch of H.S. FB friends - I enjoy those relationships.
Unfortunately, some of the people I was friends with were not very good "friends." "Popular" kids - at the 10th reunion, my best friend in H.S. sat on my husband's lap.
I JUST (like days ago) recalled a trauma that happened to me in H.S., that explains a lot about my psychology since then - but the nature of the trauma is so scandalous, that I cannot interact with any friends because I would want to tell them and it wouldn't be appropriate. So I have to basically hide that part of my life.
Yes, I have My Litterstar school Friend to High school and High school to College, as we have continued the study from childhood to Teenage. We can't live without each other and do you know who is this Friend its a girl, so Childhood to Teen Age and Teenage to Marriage. Yes, we have fallen in love at Teenage and now we are married.
I'm only in touch with two people who fit that description - Dawn and Tracy are sisters, and their parents were friends with mine, so my siblings and I have pretty much grown up with them. We aren't able to get together as often as I would like to, but still keep in touch through Facebook.
