Do you remember having a bestfriend when you were a kid?

Are you still able to keep in touch with them? I remember having a bestfriend in 3rd grade. However after 3 years, her family had to move to the US. Eventually, the communication just naturally died. I remember her for being a sweet girl who laughs a lot. How about you? Do you still see them around, are they your bestfriend until now?

I met my first best friend in grade school. We had a lot in common, of course we were little kids. We hung out a lot. I haven't seen her since then.:(

My best friend and I grew up right across the street from each other and when we were kids we were more like sisters, we did everything together. After I got married we lost touch a bit, then she married and I was in her wedding, but once again we didn't get to spend as much time together. However, quite a few years later we started hanging out and bowling together and it was like we'd never spent a moment apart. Friends are very precious indeed! Annie

I remember I had a bestfriend while I was in grade 5 and 6, her name was Jean. We both loved math, and we saw to it that we finished all our math assignments before leaving the school. We would share lunch and snacks. I had the best of my elementary years with her because Jean was so down to earth, and because we’re kind of geeky. We competed once in a Math contest in our school and both of us were in the top 3. We supported each other back then. ;)

Yes i always remember having bestfriend when i was little, how could i forget it, she's my cousin and we've been together since we're babies, we grow up together, go in the same school(high school) but when we go college we went seperate ways but that never stop us from seeing each other despite busy sched with school. When i got married, she's my maid of honour and even though im in the other side of the world from her we still keep in touch through letters and phone calls just a bit of a girlie chat and that keeps us going. Distance maybe keeps us apart from our bestfriends but the memories always there.

Growing up in Scotland I had a best friend that lived on the same street as me. We went to school together and were pretty much inseperable. It has been 40 years, I have moved to Canada and then the US and we are still in touch and still best friends...always will be.

I had a bestfriend when I was in high school. We became very close, and when I had my first child, she became the godmother of my child. When we were young, we spent a lot of time together. Then she went to the US and got married. It's been quite a while since we last communicated, though. I still consider her my friend, but at this point in time, my bestfriend is my significant other.

I do not usually hold on to friends for long periods of time. I do not know why, I have just never been that way. I move around a lot, so once I move, I usually let go of the friendships that I made in that particular place. Sometimes friends will keep in touch after I move and that is okay. I guess to me, moving means goodbye. I remember all my best friends from all the way back in pre-school. That is because my mom always took pictures.

To be honest, whom I thought they were good, close friends, proved themselves to be just "come and go" friends. And we have been good friends for a few years. I remember a girlfriend I knew since the 5-th grade, years have gone by, only me and her stayed in touch of all the other classmates. All of a sudden, she became very nervous and got mad on me for everything. When she got married she invited me only to the civilian marriage, but not at the wedding party. When I realized she became too busy to even talk to me, I gave up calling her.

When I was younger I had 3 really close best friends, 2 moved off and we occasionally email or call, but don't keep in touch like we used to. The other one, we've been the best of friends since 1st grade...well up until here recently. She moved in with me about a year ago, and things just kind of went down hill from there, and we split ways just this last November.

I had a couple best friends and we stayed best friends until I moved away for university, It was okay until i had a child...Then all my friends still wanted to party and I didn't, I wanted to raise my children and be with my family so we all drifted apart and now i hardly every talk to them. I have my best friends now but they are not the same as your childhood friends, the ones that you got in troble with and stoood up for you or you stood up for them. The fights and the tears...growing up was a blast but now i'm having a different type of blast.
