Hey! It sounds like you're in a tough stage in life. Most people feel like they have no where to go once they graduate, but it must be harder for you with fiends like that.
If someone can't make time for you, ignores you, or thinks they're better than you, they are not worth it. They might think so highly of themselves, but for someone to treat a friend like that, they're a loser in my eyes.
I know you guys have been friends for years, and it's sad to say goodbye, but people can change.
I had almost the same experience, and in the end I decided I didn't want to be treated like dirt, so I stopped trying to communicate with my old friends and moved on. Now I've got two best friends who are amazing, and who I'd never trade for my old group of friends. It hurt so much to have my old friends ignore me, and it hurt to move on, but I'm happy I did.
Maybe this is what you need to do. Evaluate your friendships with these guys; how important are they to you? How important are YOU to them? Friendships are not a one-way street, both people have to put effort into them. Do you think they are worth it, or can you do better?

I also have to ask, have you been putting effort into staying in touch? Have you spoken over Facebook, texted, called or anything? Was your friend aware that you wanted to catch up with him, did he realize he ignored you?

I can't tell if it is a lack of communication that is the problem, or your friends have unfortunately changed and drifted away.

Sorry if this advice isn't what you were looking for. I sincerely hope you can find friends who care about you, or your old friends start caring about you too.
Best of luck.

Thank you. Looking at it that way, I guess you're right. We had texted and talked over Facebook several times about it, and the most I ever got was, "If I'm not too busy."

Honestly, now it just sounds like a way to get me to shut up. His family has considered me a member of their family since I was four years old, especially his father, who grew up with my dad and respects no one in the world more than him.

If he's "too busy" to be a friend, he's not worth it. I'll still do my best to keep in touch with his dad though. He's a great man, and might as well be a second father to me.

Again, thank you so much. This has helped put things into perspective.
