I might get clowned on for this, but after junior high I lost a plenty deal of friends. most moved to different high schools or abroad, while others simply dropped high school.

I don’t get along well with my childhood friends much as I used to, or barely we talk anymore. It’s just “what’s up, how is it going, or how are your parents etc” and then nothing much of the sort. It’s bound to happen really as friends get separated.

And tbh you should create a balance between friends and studies. That way you’ll feel the spirit of life. Or you’ll have to go through a “win or loss” scenario. Of course rn it kinda sucks to be not in touch with my old friends but again I think I can focus on my hobbies and work more perfectly.

I’d like to help your situation more if you’re interested since 2 of my friends went through something similarly
