Ok so I have a Facebook account like more than a billion trillion other people in the world, but recently I have been request to be friends with classmates from Highschool that I did not like then and would not like to deal with now. What is the proper way other than just deny them when I know that they will talk with other friends on Facebook who I do correspond with from Highschool.

I would add them, but also add them to a special private group that limits what they can see on my facebook profile. It's what I've done for most of my family members; while they can see my profile and games, they cannot see my status updates and where I am tagged, because I don't allow them to see that.

You can just simply add them. Adding them does not mean that you really need to interact w/ them. If you do not want to deny their request, that's the best way to deal w/ it. So no guilty feeling. Add them, be in the loop and do not put any comment to their posts etc.

What naokokensaku is pretty good idea. However, in my experience, if I didn't like someone/couldn't tolerate them in high school or whatever it was before, chances are I wouldn't grow to like them just because we are Facebook friends. I have no problem denying requests...I have every right to. If people wanna complain about it other people, well, that's on them. It's just Facebook after all.
