Do you still have a childhood friend?

I have a childhood friend who is in my village. I work in town so when I go home for hoildays, I would bring him to my house and we would spend hours talking of our young days. Since he failed school and stayed in the village, I give him presents I bought from twown. I enjoy see smiles on his face.

My best friend & I have been friends since grade 2 back in 1984 which is 26 years ago...we do lose contact every so often like in the past 3 years but we jut pick up where we left off when we catch up again.

I do have friends from childhood. When u live in the same town as i have most of my life it just happens. There is nothing like old friends u have had all your life.

A fifty five year old friendship, that’s great! It is a real gift to have such an old and dear friend. I no longer see anyone from school. I went to school in Italy for the first five years and we moved to Australia when I was ten. I did keep in touch with my Italian school friends until I was sixteen and I went back to visit them all. It was nice to catch up and amazed at how we all changed in six years! I caught up with them again at twenty five when I travelled to Italy again but that was the last time. I have been back since but could not get in touch with anybody. As far as friends from school in Australia I only have one on Facebook from sixth and seventh grade and that is about it. Shame, I would have liked a good old friend like you have…

Hi There, I have to appreciate the fact that int this world friends are like family to us and they form a big part of our lives as when we get to a place where we are not known and don't know anyone we make friends to act as family to us and be a big part of our lives where we seek comfort and a sense of belonging. I do have a friend whom we began school with when we were like 7 years old. they are two of them and now we are 23 years each. the two are now in the U.S as they won greencards last year December. i just wish Australia did have greencards too as thats my country off choice. Technology has helped me find long lost friends on the internet like facebook and now even we are on Mylot. i am happy that we keep in touch and that life has to go on since we all have different interests and we share a lot of the past when life was so simple full of playful games and no worries. Now life makes us have little time with our friends due to the fast modern life but what i believe is that we should not let our friends go but keep in touch always.! Cheers Mate..!

I cannot but envy such relationship, I have not been, should i say, commited enough to keep that long a friendship. I am a little sceptical about friendship probably because of some experiences of the past so I tend to keep people at arms length. I think its safer that way but your kind of experience makes me wonder if Im right. I would really like to know hoe it feels to be friends for such a long time...

sad to say i as of now i still have no communication with my childhood friend im trying to find contact of her but until now im not successful. i even asked our old friend but they dont know her contact too.i hope someday we will meet again.

The one I am touch with from the farthest back is somebody I met in elementary school when I was probably 8 or 9. She found me on classmates.com and e-mailed me. We aren't in touch all that often, but we do drop each other a line once or twice a year. After that, I am still in touch with two people that I knew in Jr. High and High School and a half dozen college friends.

i still have one friend whom i met during our childhood. she is actually one of my best friends. we were classmates in our grade school too. we still meet regularly with other friends until our college days. when we starting working, we separate ways. i went across the country and she went out to seek a better future. she now works in one arab country. we still find time to get in touch through instant messages and emails, and through social networking sites like facebook. we came to meet the last time, about 3 years ago. she happened to took a month long vacation with her family. and at that time, my mom was still alive but already bed-ridden. i hugged her and kissed her when i see her. her husband and kids were shocked.

Hiya margi, I have friends who I did´nt realize were my Friends they are not best friends but they are friends that will gladly help you out when you most need it. I have been able to find many things out about other situations going on in England that would have gone totally unnoticed by me. So thanks to these kind of friends I am much wiser and happier in spite of the fact that I have had so much against me there are so many people in one area where I lived that know me better than my own so called Relatives. I went to School with them and in spite of the time that has gone by they still hold a flag for me and me for them. That´s very nice to be able to have a friendship like that I was not able to have friends like that for a few reasons out of my control. But that is a nice story.

My name is mohit and my age is 23 years.I met a person in 1991 and we were school mates that time and i was 4 at that time.He is my best friend from 19 years and we share every little things with each other as i live far from him but still i talk to him daily through phone calls or sms.I think childhood friends can understand as much as our parents.

After combing the area far and wide for classmates I managed to organise 2 get togethers some of them I have been in touch with right from our school days. We are regularly in touch over the phone and also meet occasionally.

Yes i had a couple of childhood friend when i was 5 years old and we used to be inseparable. We always used to laugh and talk and have fun with each other and we also used to play together. Now i am 19 and although they have lost contact with me for a couple of years i managed to find them and they haven't changed one bit. We were like the three musketeers. We still remember each other very well and i thank facebook for reuniting us once again.
