Do High School Friendships Last Forever?

Growing up and going through high school, the more and more wise adults I come across the more and more of them tell me how my high school friendships won't last forever and that college friends are your friends for life. Now when I was in middle school all of these same adults told me the same advice about my friendships not lasting. Then before that when I was in grammar school they told me that too! Since I was in 5th grade I've had the same core of about 5 friends and seem to be continuing to prove all that advice wrong till this day. In my opinion, the length that a friendship lasts depends on the different group of people involved. Although, of course it is evident that in college almost everyone will form a new group of friends, I believe that i'll probably never find another group quite like this one. Proving this theory wrong is my father for a perfect example. My dad is 53 and he has been best friends with his best friend since he was 3 years old! They even work together today! Sometimes you need to experience things for yourself and not just believe all the advice that people tell you.
