I am ashamed to admit that Im only in touch with one of my old school friends, and that is through my sister. We pass messages to each other via my sister, I know she is married, has two lovely children and almost owns her own home. She knows that Im getting divorced, have three kids, a mad house full of pets, etc. She really was my all time best friend as a kid, but as I grew and left the area I lived in, we drifted apart..
So how about you? Have you stuck to the promise to always be friends or has life dragged you away from childhood friends??

well, i'm still in touch with one of my best friends, we met when we were 5 and we are still friends at 26. I also keep in touch with a few others that I met in highschool. Its hard sometimes when everyone goes in different direction. my one friend and i keep in touch but we don't do stuff together much because our lives are at different stages. i'm married with 3 kids, shes single and dating.

Hi,killmousky!
I have a best friend,I have known her for more than 13years,we still keep in touch with each other.I knew her in my primary school and found that we lived in the same buildings.So we began friends and the relationship lasts.
Next year,she will go abroad for her study and we will apart for several years.But that's okay cos we have emails and messages.We are close friends,no matter how far away she is.

I remember my childhood friend that lived across the street from us when I was little, then we moved across the state (Texas) and I made a new best friend in Junior High, we stayed in touch off and on for a few years after Highschool graduation, but I divorced, remarried and moved again to another part of the state. I did contact her when I went back the last time, and we had a good visit and caught up. Then I divorced again, moved yet again and lost touch. Then I moved from Texas to PA a little over 2 years ago, so no twists and turns of lifes road as lead me far away from childhood friends, and that's okay, I think that's pretty much how it goes.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) I don't have any childhood relationships. I think our roads led us elsewhere and our lives changed so much, so anyway I don't think we could ever stay in touch. Some of us moved away, some others went abroad, some others got married and got away from everything and everyone..you know. So we all made new friends based on the character we developed now.

I have one friend who had been my perennial classmate. We were classmate since kindergarten to college. There were 2 school years in high school that we were not classmates because sometimes we get reshuffled. However, we also went to the same college and took the same course. She's really one of my closest friends and she is like a sister to me. We are both working now, but we still have time to hang out together.

no one really from my childhood. I was keeping in touch with a girl I knew since 4th grade but we are no longer friends. I still talk to some people I went to highschool with. After having a baby I grew apart from a lot of my friends. I really dont talk to anyone which is really sad.

I met my friend, Jody when we were still in diapers. We attended the same church as children. We attended the same school, also.I moved in 6th grade and didn't see her for years. When I was in 8th grade we moved back that part of the state, but a different town and school. Guess who was in my class??? We are not the closest of friends now, but we are still in touch after knowing each other for over 40 years!

none actually - and i'm only nineteen. i've lost touch with pretty much every friend that i made before my freshman year of high school. the only one i know a decent amount about is my friend kayla who i met in elementary school. she moved away freshman year though so it's been even harder to keep in contact .. but thanks to myspace it's been possible. but i know she's with a guy and pregnant. other than that i don't know about any of the others.

To be said,,,i am lucky,because i am in touch with mostly around 25-30 friends.....we should be in touch with our childhoood friends....as school friends are the starting step in our life.....From their friendship we will know about true friendship and we will be in a position to choose good friends in our later life......

My best friends now, all 4 of us are 24, have known each other since 6.I think that says much about our bonds and connections. We were together in almost all school classes, and though now we are somewhat older and busy with life, we still find time to meet 3 times a week and go out discuss things etc. Though i am young, its many years we know each other, so i can bet that we will stay friends forever.What for surely would help in that is that we live very close and meeting them is always a matter of 5 minutes walk.

You are doing well. I am sorry to say that in the 20+ years since I left school I have lost contact with all of my childhood friends. The last one only recently.

One of my friends from elementary school eventually became part of my high school gang, and we're still good friends today. That's about it. I'm out of touch with the rest of my childhood friends. That's because as we grew older, our differences became bigger and bigger and that's why we drifted apart.

Honestly i have only 2 childhood friends with whom i still have communication until now. I grew up in the province where i've met all my childhood friends and we were all classmates from primary to secondary education. But my family transferred to the city when i was about to enter college. that time then cellphone much more the internet were still never heard of so we just lost touch of each other. Last i heard was that almost all of them have been married and with kids already. These two friends that i'm talking about are currently working here in the city and we make it a point to call each other every so often and meet to lunch out at least once a month. We three are all eldest in the family and still single until now so i guess that are the common grounds that keep us bonded because we are of the boat.
