There is, in my opinion, nothing special about high school. It's just a bit more obvious by comparison (once you leave). >I've watched a number of good friends break up over the years and never >felt compelled to take sides. I remain on good terms with most of them. This is really tricky to do, if it doesn't come naturally. A relationship in a circle of my friends broke up rather badly three years or so ago, and to my knowledge, the male is on speaking terms with about 3 out of the 15 of us, while the female worked hard at being on good terms with everyone. Generally, easy-going types stay on good terms regardless of maturity, while high-strung types do not. Naturally, immaturity is a cause, but I don't think it's the only one. >The Polymath (aka: Jerry Hollombe) (UCLA and I can't decide when to have lunch.
