In school, how come some people are just your friends when you are classmates?

And after the school year ends, some of those whom you became friends act as if you weren't even close. Why?

probably because the tie that binds you guys (being in the same section) has been severed. thus the communication has been lost with its severance. it is really sad to drift away after sharing a entire academic year with them, but this is the reality of life. if you dont maintain the communication, then the friendship will certainly turn from a fire to mere embers.

Aww that really is sad. The only communication that will perhaps be left are the simple Hi's and Hello's which could mean nothing at all. Or maybe no Greetings at all.

Maybe because in school, you guys have more to talk about like school stuff, your prof. etc. and when your outside, you really don't know each other that much to continue the friendship.

Yeah I think you have a point. But don't people have other things to talk outside of school?

It's like cuz they just wanna appear more popular. When the school year ends, it means they're gonna go to another type of community, therefore, another type of friends. That's why they don't need you anymore. There are a lot of people like that.

I did this when I was in college; especially when we were just classmates for a semester. Yeah. we would be pretty close then. We would laugh hard and tell jokes. But, when the semester ends and another semester opens, evrything changes between us. We would just exchange his and hellos like we were just acquaintances.I also don't know why I acted and still acting this way. Maybe because of the short period we're together or maybe we don't regularly hangout. There would be instances that are inevitable. It just happens.

I think other don't care because we all have different life's to face. They have no time to remember that you are classmate. They have their own problem to solve. Maybe because of the pride or they think of rejection on how successful on your chosen career.

hahaha,the same doubt is revolving in my mind always. But i tell you something about this subject. We go to school for education only, there we met many friends. But when we start our career, it is fully serious and mostly related to money. and we are busy in our career developing so the walls are broaden between friends........ AND I EXPECT THE ANSWER FROM YOU ALSO FOR THE SAME QUESTION...
