most of my closest friends are friends ive had from HS and well, MS. i moved at the beginning of my 7th grade back to japan and honestly while i hard a hard time fitting in and back then, doubted if the relationships would last after HS, they have and im proud of my long lasting relationships i have. like the facebook group says "third culture kid... you wouldnt understand." having gone to an international school where most of the kids are military brats, embassy kids, diplomat kids, kids of missionaries, expat kids, there were always people coming and going and i guess the inconsistancy in our lives and not having one place to call "home" bonded us in a weird way. add to the fact that most of us were in a "foreign" country helped. :P even now, when i meet ppl whove gone to international schools or have traveled alot, theres a sense of comfort and acceptance. and even now w/ everyone all over the world, i guess many of us have a hard time finding our niche in "normal" surroundings so we always go back to the "international" circle. i know that sounds extremely pompous but its prolly the best way i can describe it.
of course i have those friends that ive know from elementary school and the obvious; work, i doubt id find new friends thatd completely understand me like those friends from HS.
