Do you still have friends from childhood?

Almost all of my friends have been friends from childhood... from elementary and middle school. I find it hard to keep in contact with friends that I've made in college and the like. I know who my girls are and who I can always count on :)

No, I do not have any of my childhood friends anymore. I don't even know what they are doing now to tell you the truth. That is really sad.

I am still best friends with my BFF that I met in 3rd grade. I am 44 yrs old now. I still talk to another friend who I have been friends with for almost as long. I have lost contact with some people that I used to work with, but they weren't really friends.

I keep in contact with my childhood friends. Actually, she and I in the same company. Though, we do not live nearby ever. I lose contact with most of my friends in college. But I have a close contact with one girl in my college.

I have lost many friends since Childhood, because it's so difficult to keep in touch when I go to another school or city. And I also find many new friends after I go to a New place. Loosing and Finding, what a funny circle. But it's a real life.

I still have a friend in high school, but to earlier phase, no. Every one has their own career. You can not imagine two guys from different works can talk a lot in common, but if you and your friend could have something in common. In that way, it is still possible to maintain a good relationship.

What do you mean childhood. I have friends that have known for over 22 years. We all live in different parts of the country now but we do stay in contact as much as we can and get together every couple of years.

I still have one friend from my childhood that I call my lifelong friend that I talk to on a regular basis. We live in different states, and both have busy work lives, so it isn't possible to always be there for each other. But we do usually talk and email once a month. I also have a couple of other friends from childhood that I will email or see about once or twice a year. If I go to my hometown, I will usually see at least one or two people that I grew up with. They will hear that I am in town and stop by my mom or my sister's house. It is great to sit and reminisce about all of the old times. And then we will also talk about what we are doing now. Great times! Thank you for starting this discussion, and have a great day!

i have 3 friends from my early teen years but we do not see each other much because one lives in florida and i am in nj. the other two are very busy as am i and they work full time but we do keep in touch via email most of the time and get together at least once or twice per year.

People do grow apart as they get older and move on with their lives. No. I do not really keep in touch with anyone from my childhood anymore. I have moved around so much and I am now in a different part of the United States where I have met some new people anyway. I moved south to Alabama from Pennsylvania here in America and I do miss my area where I grew up in and sometimes think about the people but like I said I just kind of think that people move on. I guess I have never really made very close friends with anyone to begin with and so there is nothing much for me to miss. I have gotten close to having a good close friend here and there up north and for some reason things wouldn't work out. I am married now with a young son and that is fine enough for me. I do like myLot and corresponding with the interesting people here. Take care saundyl.

I have lost touch with everyone at school! I didn't have that many friends anyhow, I was always the quiet one in class and so, I guess I didn't mingle that much! I don't like to refer back to my schooldays as I was quite unhappy back then. I have made lots of friends now though via the Internet and I had the courage to meet one of them a couple of years ago and it went very well. I guess if you want to find a school friend though then Facebook would be the place to seek them out! It's likely that they would have a profile page on Facebook. Andrew

Hi frnds, iam having frnds still my childhood frnds.They all are still in contact. whenever i will meet them i will be very happy and they are all helping nature,close frnds to me.I will never forget my childhood frnds forever and ever. "frndship is like an autograph keep it in your heart like an photograph forever and ever".

Of course feelin warmth of childhood pals....their is nothing more better than it.I too have lost many since,got to find them all.It brings out sweetness of life.

I only have one friend from my childhood and she is my best friend. We met when wewere 8 and now we're 29. I wish I would have kept in touch with more people but I'm thankful I still have her!

im not sure if i am allowed to respond to this because i dont have any friends still from childhood... but i though you might find this interesting... i grew up in China so i had friends from all over the world, belgum, germany, england, thialand, denmark, france, russia, and brazil..... So all these friends would stay for 2 years or so then they would always move back to their countries... I never had a chance to form any real bonds with my friends before they just moved on. It s sad to me but i appreciate the diversity i was able to experience. I learned from a young age that people are people no matter where they come from...

This is a pretty good discussion my friend and I am sure there are a lot of people out there who had friends that they made when they were a child and still have to this day,even if they are not as close as they used to be,and then I am sure there are people out there who made friends when they were a child,but for some reason or another lost contact,whether it be because the friend moved away at some point in time,or because the friend turned out to not be a friend,or the friend was in a different group or made new friends,and that is cool that you have friends from when you were a child,even though you have lost contact with some of them,but I am glad that you still have many friends that you are still in close contact with,and yeah I know what you mean it is always harder to keep in touch with work friends and I am sorry that you have lost contact with people you knew through work or school,and yeah it seems once work is gone,there is nothing left in common,I am not sure you could say I am still in contact with friends I had when I was a child,because I do not have many friends now,when I was in Kindergarden my best friend was named Mikey but he hit me with a baseball bat,and knocked me out a two story window,so my mom would not let me see him anymore,and then his family moved away so I do not know whatever happened to him,and I remember a couple other friends I had when I was in younger grades,but I am not sure what happened to them,because as I got older my friends changed,and now I have one friend I met when I was in sixth grade even though he owes me money,and he only comes around when he needs or wants something,and I have a friend I met when I was middle school or high school that is the same way,I have two friends I met my senior year one moved down from New York and me and him do not talk anymore,and the other is one of my two best friends,who we are just as close now as we were back then,and he is the only person me and my fiance really hang out with,he calls me almost everyday,and when we are on a third shift schedule,since he works third shift at Wal Mart,he will come over on his days off,and hang out with us,which is always fun,and he would do anything for me,just like I would do anything for him.

yes most of my friends now are childhood.. we studied in the same school from LKG till 12th standard and after that we were on our own way but cause all our house are located nearby we tend to meet each other quite often at times even now.

I have not stayed at one place for more than 2-3 years all my life for the past 53 years. That makes it nearly 20-25 places that I have stayed in. A virtual Nomad. I have mostly not retgurned to the towns i have left once except one odd time. I don't even remember most of my childhood friends leave alone stay in touch with them. Some friends I have gotten into touch with through Yahoo Groups. i formed a yahoo Group of all my batch mates when i ws undergoing Military Training and now we are slowly growing in strength. The group is 68 strong and it is great to renew the old association which was virtually lost for the past 35 years.

i've lost contact with mist but i still do with some...i've got contact thru friendster, friends from way back...i even had a reunion with 2 gradeschool friends in san francisco 2 years ago...i wish i can still meet up with the others...that would be nice...

I'm pretty sure that people will have friends from their childhood. Even i have a lot of friends from childhoot.I can tell one thing happened in my life.I studied in a school as LKG and grown up to 5th std and in the same school who studied as 2nd std when i was 5th std. And now she is my lover. See what happened. A childhood friend has changed as a lover. But i knew her from childhood and after i left that school we dont have any contact, so now we met and we are lovers.
