Old school mates have forgotten about me?

Hi !

I'm 17 years old and am current studying at a college.

Before that at secondary school, I had quite a lot of mates / people I liked - who all spoke to me and enjoyed having a laugh and that.

The end of secondary school was coming, and the bestest of my mates all applied to different colleges. The colleges they went to were either too far to travel by bus (I don't have a car!), or it'd have cost too much on the bus. So I thought I'd try something new, go to a completely different college and not stay at school since my mates wouldn't be there, and I didn't particularly like it there.

So the time came when college started. I enjoyed it, in the first two weeks, I made a few new mates. But, my mates then told me that they hated their colleges and they wanted to move back to the secondary school. They did, but I didn't want to because I'd already settled in, and I liked the relaxed feel of college as it was different.

I never moved back to the secondary school, but about 4 months after, they all stopped contact with me. Whether on facebook, texting/emailing me, or asking me to go out anywhere.

It's a shame really because I did like them all. My mates at college all live about 20 miles away and with the long bus services, it could take around 1 and a half hours to meet up with them which isn't as good as a 10-30 minute walk, or 5-10 minute car journey which it used to be.

So now I don't go out anywhere, and I'm always bored.

What do you think I should do? I did contact one of them but they seemed as if they didn't want to speak to me!

Thanks !

Hang out with your new friends. Make new friends that you can be around a lot.

Most probably they found new freinds and maybe you should too. Talk to your new freinds in your college an maybe get a car too. Haha. No but seriously maybe your freinds have moved on and really most of you freinds in high school are all going their seprate ways and need some space.

Ring some of the others, man! Just because one of them's being a bit of a knob doesn't mean the rest have forgotten about you. If you give them a ring-round I'm sure you'll find someone who's all "Hey, Scott!"

Hope all works out. :)

I know how you feel, I'm at uni and i find it hard to keep track and talk to all my other friends from back home. The good thing is that i guess you find out who your real friends are, my advice is everyone get together for a soemthing, just like the cinema or summat (cuz you can't drink yet :P, although if you can go to a pub together) sometimes you just need a kind of little reunion with everyone.
Friends are people you talk to everyday, best friends are people who can go weeks before talking to but they don't mind, cuz they're always happy to talk

My big sister works in a pub and says that some people come in every day or so for an hour and coz they all come so often they all end up good friends so I guess u could try some thing like that coz friends aren't only in school and college there's people every where!!
