1Whether we like it or not,we are all likely to be connected to our teenage years in some way.High school friends bring that connection and they'll always remain lifelong friends.Here are the reasons.

2To begin with,you grew up together.You all went to the same movies,walked down the same hallways,listened to the same kind of music,and got used to each other as you grew up in the strong social environment high school presented to you.

3Besides,they were there for you through your earliest heartbreaks.You promised each other that you would stick with each other through future memorable events,like your wedding or your baby showers.When you are lost in a new environment,they are the ones who still remain unforgettable in your heart.

4What's more,they offer the best reunions.When you reconnect with a high school friend,it is like nothing has ever changed.It could be the“group” you belonged to or the sports you played.

5Additionally,they understand you just by your body expressions.They don't require you to say it all before they get the message.You can communicate very well with just facial expressions.They could also relate to the fact that there were times when you were depressed.

6Equally importantly,they can share all of the inside jokes with you.The inside jokes you shared amid your friend circle still remain funny no matter the passage of time.It is like a code(密码)of honor between you and your high school friends.

7Last but not least,you kept some of each other's stuff.You didn't just grow apart with time;you also took something from each other and kept it with you.It may be your friend's clothes,some books,a mix CD or even a note.
