Do You Still Keep In Touch With Childhood Friends?

I do keep in touch with a few of my classmates..Weve known each other since kindergarten...I also have a good friend I met in college and we still keep in touch and I see her every few years..... I did move away when I was 19...but my sisters still live in the town we grew up in and they know the people I know from school..It was a small town and everyone knew everyone type thing...so when I talk to my sisters, they fill me in on what certain ones are doing...

I still live in my hometown so I run into people from grade school, high school and college from time to time. The one friend I am most in touch with from school is my best friend from freshman year of high school on. We even do a little bit of work together, MANY years later. I wouldn't mind being in closer touch with some others but at this point it isn't happening. It's hard sometimes to keep up. But I am open to renewing old friendship, fostering currents and developing new friendships.

I had a lot of problems as a kid so I didn't really make real friends so I am not in contact with anyone from my childhood except my brother and parents which is not what you meant LOL I do still have contact with people that I met when I was in my 20's at church though so we've known each other for 20 years now so, that's almost the same thing isn't it? :-) I have wondered about a few of the kids from elementary school and how they turned out but...

I have 3 friends that I know for 32 years and we keep in contact. I don't get to see two of them as much as I would like but we are always in touch. I can believe how fast time flies by.

I have moved around a lot so I have lost track of my high school friends. I was never close with any of them in school anyway. As I got older I made new friends and just went about my business. I have had no curisoty about any of the friends who I went to school with. Or even am not curious about where they live. I don't even go to the high school reunions. That kind of activity I just am not interested in.

I just recently started getting in contact with a childhood friend whom I have not seen in over 30 years. We have been writing back and forth and there might even be a possibility that we will be getting together within the next year. We don't live close to each other, but hopefully we will get it planned that we will be able to see one another again. We grew up together and graduated together so have been friends for a very long time. People have a tendency to move on with their lives and not make it a point to stay in contact with those that we were close to for so many years. Its nice when you can make that happen!

We are about 7 in our group. We've known each other since elementary. I still keep in touch with about 4 - 5 of them but I regularly see 2 of them. It's really nice because we have grown and have our own families now. Yet, when we see each other, it's like we just left the HS classroom yesterday. We all act and talk the same. Only difference now is that somebody calls us "honey" and "mommy". Whenever I see my elementary/HS friends, I remember all our days in school and sometimes, I miss it. When life was still simple. And that the only problem we had to deal with was to study our lessons, get a passing grade and have a promising "lovelife". LOL!

I have a couple of friends whom i happen to phone call once in a while.. and even meet them. As you said we studied all along right from kinder garden.. and most of my friends are always in touch.. and it gives me immense satisfaction when i happen to meet one such friend in an unexpected manner. Take care KrauseHome.

I really don't keep in touch with many of my childhood friends. I, too, lost track of them some time ago, and have no way of looking for most of the females, because chances are good that they no longer use the name I knew them by. Even with my male friends, some of them have common enough names that they are hard to track down. The person I've known the longest and stayed in touch with is someone I met about 13 years ago or so. I actually lost track of him for a while, but managed to track him down again. Aside from my family, he's the person I've known the longest that I still talk to.

Well my best friend an i meet 35 years ago I moved from mas to florida when I was 10 an we bbecame penpals an now 35 years later she is my daughters godmother an still in mass an I live in sc an we are still the best of friends 35 years strong

We were a group back in our elementary years and our friendship was rock solid. It all changed when we moved to another place. Ever since we havent gotten back together. I just wish that even through text messages we could get in touch hopefully. I would really love to.

It's hard to for me to meet up with my childhood friends. I don't know where are they as I have lost contact with them for ages. As what you said,as we have grown up,slowly everyone will have their own life with families and busy with careers. It's really difficult to keep in touch and meet up to chat over the time. Maybe that's the price of growing up.

Yes I have contact with my childhood friends. Its good to keep in contact. We meet very often and share our thoughts. But still I miss some of them who shifted their places. I m unable to contact them. I miss them so much.

I still have contact with a lot of my childhood friends via facebook and email, but I only have one childhood friend with who I am still very good friends with. We shared everything since birth and I cannot imagine things being any different. Facebook is a great way to get in contact with old school friends.

Yes , I do beleive that school frnds understand the person better than the later frnds. There should be contact with them. I have kept contact with 5 of them which is pretty less but still I have the contact with them.

Yes i always try to be in contact with lots of my friends but there are some of my classmate whom address and contact number i don't have but i always remember them very much.

I keep in touch with a few childhood friends. A lot of us still live in the same area so I see them once in a while. The ones that made the biggest impact on my life are still my good friends and I keep in touch with them all the time. Time has taken its toll and we used to not be as close, but we are definitely working on bridging the gap.

I have one best friend that I am in contact with and probably will be for life. We were born at the same time. We have been friends since way back. There are many people that I would love to find that were best friends in college; but I am sure they have moved on and may very well be very different from what they were back then. It seems that is how it is.

I have one friend from elementary school that I've kept in touch with over the years, and for the last eight years or so, she's been living out of state. We started with email and calling, then went to IM and chat, and now we're doing a mix of all of them. Every summer we try to visit each other, even if it's only for a long weekend. I have one or two good friends from middle school, with the same situation and circumstances going on. They moved away, but we kept in touch, and still do to this day. There are a couple of people that I wish I'd kept better in touch with, but in the end I kind of think it's best that we didn't. Things changed too much, or we got too different, or we shouldn't even have been friends in the first place... you know, that sort of thing.

ya why not?
