Please do not respond to this blog until Monday. As I am at Communication Camp connecting with people it begs me to think about connections in high school. Oddly, I only keep in touch with about 3 or 4 people I was friends with in high school. Honestly, the summer before college I went away to work at a camp, made new friends and many of them went to MSU which is where I was going. I truly wanted a break from most of the people I went to high school with for a variety of reasons. I look back and wonder if that cheapens my high school experience.
With that said, what is your views of friendship in high school? Where do you see you and your group of friends in 3 years? What is the importance of communication in maintaining friendships past high school? Do you think technology makes communication easier for you than it was for me and my friends?

you know, i think everything is relative, meaning friendship is what you and your peers make of it. my core group of friends and i have been good friends since i can remember living here. since i moved here, i have kept my friends from even elementary school. i see no need for me to loose contact with them for whatever reason. theres two friends i have, that are twins, that ive been pretty much living at their house since 3rd grade. if people dont communicate, there is basically no need for them to know eachother. friendships give you esteem, joy, and purpose to your life. technology is a great thing and i love it. i dont go a day withoug my phone, ipod or computer. i feel completely isolated without them. so yeah, technology is a huge asset. everything is relative.
My views of friendship in high-school is that I do not have many friends. I view the few friends that I do have as people that I will never see again in a few years. It is defnitely going to be sad come graduation day. I see myself at a good college making all brain new friends. I think that it is important to keep your friends after high-school so that you can still have someone to rely on when you get really sad at college and you need someone who knows you lots to comfort you. I do not think that communication has made it easier for myself. I have a cell-phone but I only use it at my house and never text people. I hate using email!
I think that in 3 years from now me and my friends will probably still talk and be friends. We all live very close to eachother so it will make it easy to still see eachother. Also, all my friends are going to colleges around here or are going to the same college as me so talking with eachother will be easy. I think communication is much easier now a days then it was back then, because not many people had cell phones or email. These are the biggest ways of communication and almost everyone has it now. Texting is also very big. I dont even talk on my phone i mostly text all my friends and i think its a lot easier. These make keeping intouch with people more simple and easier instead of trying to find the person house number if they moved or looking them up.
I think friendship is very inportant in highschool. I think your true friends, not the ones that you just hang out with one the weekends, but true friends, will last a lifetime. Although that are pending situations that circumvent consistant communications as you grow, true friends will always find a way to be in your heart. There is no tangible possesions that can compare to the unconditional love that true friends share openly. In 3 years i firmly believe that i will maintain a close relationship with my friends, and through the use of technology, i will be able to remain dedicated friends.
I believe I have the kind of friendships in school that are ideal for me. I wouldn't change the type of friends I have for the world. In 3 years, I plan on being off to college. I assume a lot of my friends will take the same path. Of course, some of them will choose not to and probably just get jobs instead. I definitely think that today's technology makes communicating with friends much easier. I really couldn't picture a world without texting, the internet, etc.
My friends mean the world to me, and the relationships I have with each of them are so important to me. I honestly do not know where I would be or who I would be to this day without these people in my life, they are my family. I know that when I graduate, we are all going to go our seperate ways and do different things with out lives, but my closest friends right now in high school, I cannot imagine life without them. I see myself staying friends with these people way past high school. We are all going to make new friends, and be with new people, but my friends today are always going to be with me in my heart and I will always be close to them. I have a best friend who lives in Oregon, who I have been friends with since we were four, and I think that if we have kept our relationship going and staying so close for this long, theres nothing that can get in the way. I talk to her and my friends back in Oregon all at least 3 times a week. Communication is key to a friendship. Not just communication over the phone, but knowing how to communicate well and build on your friendship with communcating well with eachother. I think without technology staying close to people that you rarely see would be close to impossible. With techonology just advancing more and more every day, it's almost as though these people are right next to you. Friendship is what makes teens all over this world, in high school, or even not get up in the morning and have something to look forward to because they know there are those people out there that will always be there for them no matter what happens in their lives that we call our friends!
Friendship in highschool makes everything a little bit better. It passes time. In a few years I feel that I will probally be still good friends with my friends now. I will probally make some new buds at the college I attend. I will probally be close to them no matter what or at least I think so. I think that maintaining your friends past high school will make your life better. You will get out more and be happy. It was deffinitly harder to communicate back when it was for you. You had no computers, cell phones ect.
Friends in high school is one of the most important thing to a kid in school. Without friends school would be more boring than it already is now. In 3 years I am not really sure wear my group of friend will be. It is important to maintain friendships because friends help you get throught the day and it is important to keep in touch with your friends. Technology makes it alot easier to communicate by you can text your friends send an email and or even call them. You can do all of that were ever you are and it takes as little as two minutes or less. Without friends many people would be miserable.

This is all about how strong a friendship is. Cell phones don't keep Friendships together. Friendships in high school can be strong if you want them to, there delicate though and require full attention. I don't do really have a solid group as of now, it's kinda sad haha but true. I don't really see my current friends going to far. If you have strong friendships though in high school, i encourage for people to keep them up and try your hardest to stay by that person WORDS TO LIVE BY : FRIENDSHIP IS GOLDEN. Technology should make all but 0% difference, if its true, it will stick.
My views of friends in high school are that I only have a few friends that I might keep in touch with. You may have a whole lot of friends but only two or three you might keep in touch with. I see my best friend and me will probably share an apt. We all ready made a promise and started to save up money. The importance in communication in high school is to learn how to make friends in the real world. To not be so shy when you get a new job and start to talk to people. Technology makes communication easier because you not talking to the person face to face. I like talking to the person face to face better than technology because you get to see their emotion.

i think friendships in high school are mostly just that. throughout your years in high school ou make friends that you become close to and spend alot of time around. but after you will all go your own sweperate ways. one of the things thats great about the group of people you hang out with is that they are all different people. because of this you all have different views and wants in life. in order to follow through with them you will have to go it on your own until you have a chance to make new friends. it is highly ignorant and senile to think that you are going to be friends with the same people forever. sure you can try all you want but in the end it comes down to a couple of basic things. 1) you and your friends are not all goign to go to collage togather so that right there creates a barrier by its self and those that do the chances of you seeing each other much are vvery slim. second is time. in order to stay in touch with these people you will need to make time for them in your new collage schedule and because of their distance this makes things difficult. i think any one that truly believes that their whole group of friends is going to stay in touch and be friends and all that nonsence forever needs to get their head out of their ass and wake up because it is never going to happen.

friends in high school dont last forever. But then again you may meet you best friend in hight school and have them in you life for a every long time. My mother met her best friend in high school. I hope to hold on to at last one of my good friends. Yeah i know we have are fights and are little drama. But what i need them most the ones i know who are my true friends are always there for me. I dont think that ill see them as much as i do after high school. will move away from one another. Go to different schools and start are lives. But maybe theres a little hope that will keep in tough.
Friendship in high school in my book is a very important thing and helps you grow up and realize common interests. Rather you are friends with a girl or what friendships in high school are great to have. In three years I would sure hope that all of my friends are still together but sadly I really dont see that because I see how all 3 of my sisters have not really kept onto there friends. They have kept onto there good friends but most of there other friends have been lost due to lack of communication. Technology really helps people communicate much better today. Myspace and facebook help people really communicate today you can see what people are up to and how they are feeling and it a good place to meet new people. Also the latest development of texting has allowed for you to get ahold of people without even calling them. This worlds technology is always growing and you never know where they will take communication standards next.

I think having friends in high school is an important thing because they get your through your day. It can be stessful with all of your work, and tests and other stuff, but you always have your friends to talk to. I see me and my group of friends 3 years from now still being friends. It might not be the same as it is right now, but things will always change. It is important to stay in touch with your friends after high school but not that important. I probably wont stay in touch with all my friends, probably just my better friends. It is easier to stay in touch now because of cell phones than it was back in the day.
i believe that in 3 years my friends and i will still be in touch. we all hangout almost every weekend. normally at the same persons house every week. we have a ton of fun because we all get along great. comunication thru technology has helped alot. i think if i didn't have texting there would be no contact other than school at when we hang out. i think this because i don't really like to talk on the phone i like to text more. i think once snowboarding season starts we will hangout more too. i think i will make new friends and loss some old. the ones that im close to i will talk to forever.
Freindship in high school is very important to me. My friends have always been their for me and in return i try to be their for them. Friends help me to get through the days at school. Whenever i need to talk i know they will be their. In three years i still see my group of friends together. We are a very close group and i think it could happen. I beilive it is important to maintain friendships past high school, because these are the people who you grew up with. They have been with you for Four years and pretty much 5 days a week. I also believe that technology does make communictaion eaiser. It is alot easier to talk to someone now.
Marc, I hope you're having a lot of fun at Communications Camp. Those three days were honestly the greatest of my life. I wish I would've been selected to go this year, as I've gone through much more death, loss, and the like over the past year. But, oh well. What are you gonna do?
Anyway.
My view of high school friendships is remarkable different from that of most others that will be posting tonight in that I view friendships as temporary. Get real: how many of your current friends do you think you'll be friends with after high school has been finished for a few years. We say that we'll keep in touch and visit each other, but rarely do we actually act upon those words. In three years I see myself and my group of friends almost non-existent. Call me a pessimist, but I just do not seeing myself maintaining my group of friends that I have now even as much as I'd love to. Every best friend I've ever had is no longer my best friend, even the two that I kept for fifteen years of my life. Communicating with your friends past high school is essential in maintaining a relationship with them. Think about it, would you have talked to those friends in the first place without communicating with them? Technological advances make such post high school communication much, much more attainable than it was during the time in which you graduated, Marc. Texting is much more convenient than calling, instant messaging is simply second to none as compared to mailing, and even e-mailing. I wish to maintain my high school friendships for as long as possible, and I truly do hope that they last forever. My friends are my love.
Friendships in high school are very important. Your friends will always be there for you no matter what. They make things in school a little bit easier because you have friends there. Where do i see me and my friends in 3 years. I see us staying close because must my friends live by me. The importance of communicationis important because if you and your friends dont talk then why are you friends. Yes i think technology makes communication easier because there are so many things like texting email and just calling some one it makes it easier to stay close to your friends.
I think that friendship in highschool is very important. It makes people feel that they belong and all humans need this feeling. While we stress over who likes us, and who thinks were cool now most of us do not realize that in a few years most of those people will be distant memories. Past highschool i think i will lose some friends, but my closer friends i hope to keep. I also think that communication is very important in maintaining a friendship, it is like its backbone or binding. Yes i do think that technology makes communication easier. There is so many ways for us to communicate now, so we should take advantage of this and keep some of those good friends.

Where do i see me and my friends from highschool in the next three years? hmm... no where to be honest with you. i have talked to so many people about highschool friendships and how its silly to get into drama situations and possibly having your grades slip due to your friends because they wont be in your life three years from now... im not saying you wont be close to your friends but what im saying is dont throw things about that are important in highschool away due to little things like boyfriends or your so called "bestfriend"
i have learned this from passed experience, trust me :)

My friends are extremely important to me because I personaly feel like you are who your company is. My best friends are amazing people and I love them just as much or more to some points just as much as my family. Without them, I have no idea who or where I would be and I am so grateful for them. High School friends in general is important because so many activities would not be even close to as fun as they are without friends. In three years I see me and my very best friends of course still talking even though we will all be going into seperate ways. My friends are amazing people, all with different and unique aspirations, this goes without saying it will be very difficult to stay in touch. But since we all look at eachother like family, I know they are friends til the end and I cant honestly say that and mean it. Communicaton is so important after High School because we were not going to be in the little White Lake bubble anymore so it's vitual if we all want to maintain best friends, we are going to have to go out of our way and make more of an effort then before. I am confident that we are all more then willing to make this sacrifice. Of course technology makes communication easier for me then it was for you to keep in touch because I have so many more resources. We both have telephones, but I have texting, email, and facebook.
