Well, hey there!i just want to share about my friendship that is very long and strong. I have a friendship that is 10 years now. We started to be friends when we were just in 1st grade..We live in the same street so we would always go to school together. WE also study in the same school. When we were in 4th grade, my family transferred to another place but that didn't stop us from remaining best friends. During high school, we are still classmates/bestfriends and until now that we are in college. We are still studying in the same school.We are good influence to one another. In fact during our elementary graduation, we both graduated with honors. In high school, we may not have honors but we still belong to the top section in our school. (Can you imagine, we have 50 sections with an estimated 40 students per section and we both belong in section 1??)And in college, we both received a scholarship grant in the same school!WE try to help each other until now, especially when we have problems in school and outside school..Our friendship for me, is one of the best!!

Are long-term friends great? I have one best friend that I have known for 43 years. I don't even remember meeting her. According to her mom, we met in preschool. We lived a couple of blocks away from each other the entire time we were growing up, and still live 15 minutes away from each other. We talk on the phone frequently and get together as often as our schedules allow. My other best friend I've known for almost 20 years. We met doing historical reenactment. She lives in my neighborhood, one of the reasons I moved to this neighborhood. I also talk to her almost every day and see her frequently. Her husband is also a best friend and I consider him kind of a "crazy uncle". These are the people I've been through hell and back with and we've supported each other along the way. They are the main reason I would be reluctant to move to a different state. Friends of that depth are very hard to find.

Yup i think long term friends are great because you can share everything to them. I would like to congratulate you because you have so many best friends around you. I think you are very friendly!In your opinion, is it good to have more than one bestfriend?

Oh, absolutely you can have more than one best friend. It helps if they get along, though. Fortunately mine do. We all hang out together on occasion.

Hi that is great that you have a strong friendship with someone! Well my childhood best friend started in kindergarden, we went to ccd together. we did everything together and celerbrated each of our milestones growing up together. when we went to college we drifted apart abit but now that we are 37 and still close friends. The best friend i have now is like a sister to me, we have supported each other when we needed a shoulder to lean on. A close friend is important to have in your life and it is something to be charished.

I have always tended to make friendships with people older than I am. My best friend, not including my sister, is 12 years older than I am, but we have been great friends for about 12 years now. We work together, so we share many things, including personal triumphs and challenges.
