Have You Been Able To Find Your Childhood Friends?

I have not joined Facebook yet. I do not really have anyone from my past that I want to connect with. I know that it is great for some people to get back in touch with each other.

Having lived in the same city all my life, and having my mother here as well, I've not lost too many people. I will say that I keep in touch with my friends better because of the internet - even tho I'm not too interested in school "friends"...

Yes, I've been able to find a lot of my old friends and classmates. I haven't actually met up with any of them, but it's nice to be able to keep in touch, even if it's only online. Happy mylotting!

I have indeed been able to reconnect with a lot of classmates on facebook. But the real cool thing is the connecting with family members. Not long ago a cousin looked us up. We had never met her and I found out she was my Uncle Bob's granddaughter... it was like Christmas!

Oh Yes, Facebook has been great in connecting me to friends I haven't seen or heard from in years. Living far away from everyone I know, I have joined so many social networking sites in the hope of getting in touch with friends from my past; usually get one or two in a site. With the popularity of Facebook, everyone seems to be using it. So I dropped the rest of social networking site and just log on to Facebook from time to time. Just the other day, a friend from my college days, whom I haven't seen or heard from for more than 11 years found me and we had a nice chat catching up, exchanged phone numbers, etc. If it was not for FB, I would never have heard from him ever again.

I never found any classmate on facebook since my high school is not mentioned in facebook directory. But i have cousin to whom i haven't met from 4 years but i am always connected with him with facebook. I love facebook!

I reconnected with a friend from grade school. She found me on facebook and last summer when I went to Arizona I met her after not seeing each other for 42 years! It was fun and it was just like time was erased....funny but I have since also connect with others I went to grade school with....I am much closer to them then the people that I graduated with!

I don't really want to find them. We were only friends and classmates because we had to be. We had very little in common then and we have even less in common now. I run into them, we have nothing to say to each other. When I do run into them, I have more to say to total strangers than I do to them.

Hi. KrauseHome. I agree. I have found many people that I went to school with. I am still searching for more of them too. I am still looking for a some female friends in particular. I may have to send messages out so that I can locate them. It is nice to know that you will be attending your high school class reunion very soon. Have the best of fun!

not me it drives me nuts. i havent been able to figure out how to navigate on there to do a lot of things. like how do you search? when i try it just gives me people from my freakin address book and i already found them

hello friend! yes friend i think so that face-book is a site where i found my all child hood friends.i feel i am so much lucky.and so much thankful to face-book.it is a great site to chat with others.yes friend same here.now a days all are depend on face-book. thanks a lot.

I am a member of Facebook and pretty much have connected with many acquaintances, family and friends but not so much from my early childhood years. I also must admit that I do not frequent it as much as before, and maybe because all the member friends I have on there are easy to contact via phone, email and or text. But I have run into childhood friends in stores and somewhere outdoors and it was not so much that it brought back childhood memories but more so like wow someone from my past and it was nice to see them again. But you are right I do know many that religiously enter facebook several times a day and enjoy it very much. I mostly go on to put photos and or perhaps to send a quick message in response to someone.

I'm still looking for my first girlfriend. She was an amazing person and a really good friend, and I miss her even though has been so many years. I wish I do someday, she needs to know that after all she done I never forgot her.

Yes, I've been able to find most of my classmates from High school, and later from the University. Last night I confirmed friendship request from an old classmate I had completely forgotten about. When I checked his profile I saw he kept in touch with classmates from 25 years ago which I wasn't able to track. This discovery made me very happy. I don't like Facebook very much because of it's low security level, but the one thing we can benefit is, like you said, it's one of the best way to find long lost friends.

Friendships end and chapters close and I'm content in letting sleeping dogs lie...

When i first join facebook i never liked it,But after a month i log in and i geta friend request.I did not recognize the name.After viewing the picture's i was oh my god. Only the facebook of the person i remember. It was my friend that we grow up together but he migrated to the states while we were in primary school.From he left Jamaica i never hear from him since. Facebook have reunited twin brothers back together and even father and son an friends together again.I am happy that my friend fine me on facebook after all those years thank you facebook am glad the day i becomes a member of that site. If it's a fun place to be and reunited with friends and family.

I did reconnect with a few childhood friends, and I realized they aren't the same people as I used to get along with so well. One is a social butterfly to the extreme, and a bit ignorant and does really stupid, overly dramatic things. I ended up deleting her from my friends shortly after adding her. Another, who I connected with and messaged back and forth for awhile, I ended up no longer talking to after that. First, she seems to have gotten mixed up with the wrong men, and is now a single mom. Then her 7 year old kid started bugging me, trying to get me to add her. I hardly know the mom anymore, I don't think it's right that I add her little kid. The little kid was sending me messages.. and I did not respond. I would not want my children communicating with practical strangers.. just because I knew the mom as a child doesn't mean I know anything about her now, she could have become a serial killer or something.. so I would not want my children communicating with them. So I chose not to communicate with her child. I messaged the mom and told her about the friend requests and messages and she did not seem bothered that her child did this. Like I said, she doesn't know me anymore so how does she know that she can trust me being a facebook friend to her little kid? I just don't understand why her child has so much freedom on Facebook.. it can be a scary place if you communicate with the wrong people. So I have not deleted the mom yet.. but I have stopped speaking to her. Her actions on this situation have shown me she's not a very responsible person and that's not the type of person I want to be friends with anymore.

Yes, I had a very good friend, when I was 8 years old, but then he moved to another country with his parents. Some years later, when I was 13, I found him on facebook, so we stay in contact there. I have also found some other classmates, who went out of my class in the early years.

yes i have found all of them because of facebook. i think that's why this social networking rocks because everybody is using it that's why it is really easy enough now to track someone using the site. every one i longingly search for was there and am glad to have found them at last. but of course, facebook is just there for entertainment, i will always be loyal here. i'm having fun and earning at the same time. incomparable

Actually i really like facebook because it has helped me find many of my childhood friends. Some are even from kindergarten =) it's so nice to be in contact with them and see how time went by and to see how they have changed and who they have turned out to be. For this i really love facebook..
