How people change

i dunno if any of you have ever experianced this but i just came to realize that a lot of my friends have changed into people i would never picture them as.

first, my best friend who i've known since grade one. he was at one point a die hard skater and listened to punk religiously. now, he looks more like eminem than the skater i had always known. he's still my best friend but it's really screwed up.

second, a friend i had grown up skiing with. throughout racing we were always kinda close but lost touch after her parents split. the last time i saw her she was still the same person i'd remembered. now i hear from one of my friend's parents that she's pregnant and dropped out of school. i had always pictured her to be someone that would go all the way in school and land some killer job. now she's gonna be stuck with this kid for the rest of her life.

third, another buddy of mine who i'd also grown up skiing with. this kid used to be hardcore straight edge and wouldn't even be in the same room of you if you were drinking. now he parites more than a lot of people i know.


i really don't understand this. i understand that people change sometimes for the worst but these are all people that i've known for most of my life. i've seen friends throw their lives away without even thinking of the consequences of their actions. i know i can't expect someone to remain the same for their entire lives but this is really fucked up!

yea, especially in these last couple months...even this whole last year of high school I have realized how I kind of idealized all my friends. I've learned who is really my friend and who are just turkeys. It's so weird tho, I totally agree. Some of who used to be my closest friends I thought would go so far, or I thought they were just totally different people than they have turned out to be...at least now. It's sad, scary...confusing.

yea, man, people change so much, especially when your in a small town with nothing to do, people just get sick of it and flip out. like my one friend, last summer every day we used to play hacky sack at his house and play guitar and whatever the hell else there was to do, and now hes some hardcore metal maniac who does a shitload of drugs and hates everyhting... it sucks dude, cuz friends arent easily replaced

This kid i know, he used to dress really preppy and care about his appearance. Now he hasn't cut his hair in a year, he doesn't wash himself at all, he smells like a butt. He wants to be a hippie and i don't understand it. He comes from a good home and his parents try and take care of him. All he does is smoke pot and he spends all his money on it. He is like 5'10'', and he weighs 235 pounds. i don't understand how people want to be like that, i just don't get it.

I've gone back and forth through friends. Like, you don't really notice it that much, but you change alot too over time.. like I went from 'dresses every day' to jeans and sweaters then to 'punk' then now I'm really random. It's skirts one day, jeans the next, sweatpants another and so on and I went from outgoing to shy, to moderately outgoing.

But ya, it can be really messed up about how people change so much. I've lost so many friends because they've gone in so many different directions. I guess you just have to live life how it is and hope it goes well for you.

u ahve no idea rob how close this thread hits home...

People change and thats life. u gotta accept it. even if it hurts at the moment. But in my case. im stuck between the pain that the 'change' has caused and missing the person, and that just talking would be nice.
but on another note.. my friend britt and i. foud pics of u back in the day. and its cool looking at how young we looked when we thought we really loked so old!..

haha no, I'm just saying that my styles have changed. There was actually never a time when I tried to get anything that everybody else was wearing or the opposite of that, except my taste in things have changed alot. That's all I was trying to make a point of.

this is fucked up. it's like as soon as i moved away from home for school that i noticed that everything has changed in my life. just seeing my friends throw their lives away for stupid shit drives me crazy. sometimes change is good but it seems that most of the time for me it's the worst thing in the world!

The more things change the more they stay the same.

Change is great, I love meeting new people and losing touch with old friends too.

This whole past school year has been one giant roller coaster. I've lost a lot of my good friends and have become best friends with people that I never would have expected to ever become that close with. When I look back I focus on the good times that I had with those people and how they have helped make me who I am today and draw on the good adn the positive not the bad decisions that they have made.
One of my friends who I was SO close to growing up made some different decisions that I would have and our relationship hasnt been the same since. Its a fact of life, you change and people change... its one of the shittier sides of growing up. You change and people change around you. Your personal ideas and standards change and your goals and that in its self effects your relationships and who you choose to have relations with. Losing friends sucks but in the end it only helps make you a better person.
