So far I've still keep in touch with few of my childhood friend.
It's great when we talk about our childhood and how we became right now
My remaining childhood friends are not as much as my colleague, college and high school friends. But it's still great, to be able to keep in touch with them after a long years. (about 20 years )
How about you ?

Almost not. I find it's always easy to lose touch with my childhood friend. I lived in the countryside when I was a little girl, but I left my home town when I graduated from the university. Most of friends of mine went to different places and different universities. We can't keep touch with each other. It's hard to memorize his or her names and their address since there're no phones or internets in those days. It's really a pity for me that I can't find my those old friends.

I don't really keep in touch with any of mine.
I moved around a few times, and after that, we kind of all lost contact.
I recently found some of them from myspace, but it's so awkward trying to figure out what to even talk about, since it's been so many years.
I think all of us are so different, and living totally new lives.
It is awesome for you, that you can still talk to them, though.

I do. In fact, I am still friends with almost all of them. We still get to see each other. We hang out on a regular basis. Most them have been my friends for almost 3 decades now and we're still counting years and years of beautiful friendships.

I don't. Most of my childhood friends have long since moved away and we've lost contact with each other. Some of my friends from highschool are still around, and I talk to a few of them, but we don't have much in common anymore -- I've changed a lot since I was a high school student.

I know what you mean. But I liked to keep that changes in a humorous way.
When we gather, we often mock each other on how changed we are from our childhood.
We might like what we've become now, but there's nothing wrong to see backward one or another times.
Thanks for responding Gabe

We moved around a lot when I was a kid. A few years ago, I ran into someone I knew before high school, and the gap was just too bad to cross. So my longest surviving friendship actually started in high school. We have been friends now for twenty-seven years.
Ironically, I am closer now to some of the people that I went to high school with, then I was back when. After not having contact with them for twenty years, once they rediscovered where I was, we discovered that we had more in common now with each other. It is amazing how things like running your own business can make you good friends with people you never really knew in high school, but are also now running their own business.

hi lucirafa,
Childhood is a very carefree time and the friends you make during those time if keep in touch then becomes friends for life. Yes i am still in touch with couple of male and one female childhood friend as they are the friends from the time when we were too young to understand hey if i be friends with him what use he can come to me.. I do keep in touch with them and sometimes we do get meet once in couple of months and couple of other friends too come but now they are not very close.

I only contact one of my chindhood friend. she is also my best friend. we called each other daily to talk the happy and unhappy things during the day. sometimes we give advices for each other for the problems we met. it is great to share everything with the friend you trust and grow up together.

My friends and I have stopped communicating after our high school graduation. Now that we have our own families and have jobs to get busy with, it is impossible for us to take time to look for each other's numbers just to talk about thinks we no longer share.
In fact, once I met one of my childhood friend at the mall. We both felt so awkward and we seem to have nothing to talk about. We simply asked each other about our jobs (where we worked, what kind of work), our families (how many kids, whom we married_ which obviously can not connect) and our places (where we lived). Basically the meeting is a simple hi and hello only. :-(

It's a sad topic for me because I have not any one childhood friend keep in touch.Well,I was used to try my best to keep that intimate relation,but it seems difficult to maintain.All of us changed a lot,and experienced quite diffrent these years.It seems the friendship between girls never last longer.When I saw a childhood friend who grown up together with me from junior school to high school and I treated so important send the most treasure to another friend in front of me,I was really heartbreak.She never kept touch with me after high school but always contact with my boyfriend.This experience makes me lose confidence about friendship and I can't walk out of this shadow so long a time.I still hate she because I still care about she.

hi lusi,
I only remain in touch with a few close childhood friends at present. One of them is still among my most close friends.She is three years younger then me and we often hang out together when we are both free. Recently she is busy with her study because she is on the threshold of Colleage Entrance Examination and we havent seen each other for several months. However, we plan to go on a trip together in this coming summer vacation in celebration of her graduation from senior high school,, anywys i am in touch with few of my class mates but we all live nearby still so it is easy

Sadly, not anymore. Am not sure but I think it's pretty rare nowadays that childhood friends are still in touch. I know some people who are still in touch and in fact are still close to their childhood friends...but, they're actually HS friends.

well, for me, i still keep in touch with my childhood friends. but the relationship has changed a lot. it never as before, becouse the enviroment that each person has grown up was different. we have changed so much that we didn't have many common conversation topic that we can share with each other. i still keep in touch with them, but not very often, about two times one year.

Well,as for me,i am keeping in touch with few childhood friends now.I don't even keep in touch with my high school friends,cuz i am so busy with my work,i have so many things to do that i don't have much time to contact those lovely friends.In addition,they all have their own work to do ,they have their own famlily,and they have thier own circles,if there are not much same interests between us,i don't think i should contact them and keep in touch.People changed,let it be.
Have a nice day.

Actually, I also have childhood friend but just visit each other once a year. We will always talk about what is our future plan, and also discuss some others thing like what kind of business you are doing and also share about our happiness and sadness and also it is good to release our tension with childhood friends.
