I'm deliberately not in touch with anyone I went to school with.

Those friendships ended by my mid 20s because they were all one way and therefore draining and I cut all ties.

No school friends as the school was awful and eventually got knocked down.

Had friends that I played football with but not much else, getting to 15 I realised that they had no ambition in life beyond the next benefit cheque ( same as most of the parents )

I wanted to work and get on, I started work in retail and by 17.5 I managed a supermarket

I’ve reconnected with school friends.

Middle-aged men need friends and love nostalgia.

I spent my young adulthood trying to get away from those days, but fate has put us back together.

Kept in contact and had many a night out with a few from school until my late 20s, after that we all drifted apart and went our separate ways due to better jobs further afield or got married had kids etc.

"What i would love to know is how many people over 30 still keep in contact with old school friends. I dont. But i know someone on here that does."

I play in a band with a guy I've been friends with since junior school, and my best friend has been so since we were 11... we generally at least once a week and see each other most weeks.

I am very lucky.

Nope. I didn’t have many friends at school and they weren’t even the definition of a friend. My kids and hubby are all I need right now.

Yeah there are about 7 of us from the same primary school class who still meet up every few months for a few drinks. We can go months without speaking but will always have a good laugh.
