Do you still hang out with your childhood friends?

LikeAnOcean

I'm 30 now. There's probably a group of atleast dozen of us, most I've been hanging out with since about age 9.. anywhere from a few times a year to every other week.

Funny how bonds you make when you're young never seem to break. My parents don't seem to have this going.. guess I'm lucky to have such good friends.

Yep Im still best mates with my best mate from age 8 (now over 30).
Mum and dads closest friends has two daughters our age and Im still very close to both of them - like sisters really.
My brother best mate thru school is now very close to me also.
I only keep in contact (or close contact) with 3 guys from school

I'm not really close with anyone I grew up with, but I did hang out with my first boyfriend the last time I was back home (almost four years ago now!). It was cool to catch up with someone who used to be the center of my universe, haha.

i have two friends that i met when i was 11. im 36 now. the rest are just people ive known for a long time. a few of my best friends, ive known since the age of 21 or so.

i moved when i was 10 or 11. so ..........there really was no chance of me keeping in touch with my early childhood friends.

Brisk.

Unless you live next door to them i just dont get how you can keep in touch. You go through primary school then everyone goes their own way to secondary school, then they meet new people there then they go their own way again to college/uni/gap year etc.I say a random hello to a few on msn.

my childhood friends were mostly relatives of mine...we seldom see each other now since we no longer live next door...but there's this one cousin of mine that even if we seldom see each other, the connection is still there...i really miss our old neighborhood...

CHANGEinWAVES

had a few neighborhood friends...but never really was best of friends with them.

my closest friends during childhood were my 3 cousins. They lived with us for a while and it was like having siblings:) I loved it and them! Unfortunately their parents went thru an ugly divorce and a custody battle, ultimately they went to live with their mom (their dad is my uncle) and I haven't seen them since I was 13:( I think about them and miss them very often.
Sadly we don't speak to my Uncle anymore either, mostly for how he handled that situation. (yeah we're one of "those" families)


*though I was able to have a short conversation on myspace with the one...but when I mentioned meeting he never responded.

I have one really good friend who I've known since I was 12. Even though she lives on the other side of the country now we still keep in touch.
Most of the other people I went to school with I wouldn't care to know now.

Sian-of-the-dead

Nope.

I did meet up with one not so long ago though (known each other since we were 8 and found each other through Facebook). It was a lot of fun (8 hours in a pub ) and i'm sure we'd be good friends again if she lived closer... ah well...

Yeah I'm still friends with a good few of my school mates. Three of them I see most weeks, and others I see every few months or so.

Yup.....just got back from Vegas with two of my friends from 7th grade!!! Three of our friends from High School were also with us! What a blast!

I moved around too much as a kid to still have many childhood friends, except one, but the friends I made in my late teens are much more important to me. The friends I've known over the last 4 years, I hope to be friends with for life. I'm 20 now and there are a handful I will do everything in my power to stay in touch with til the day I die.

Nope. Moved a long way away from them right before high school. Haven't really kept up with them since.

eMMI

I do. one whom I've known since I was 6. we sort of fell out for a few years when we were 13-15 (different schools and all that) but have found each other again. she's such a hoot, my life would suck without her.

one girl I've been friends with since we were about 5. lived across the street from each other.

then a few I've known since I was 6 but only started to hang around with when we were 7.

I couldn't imagine not being friends with these people. all the moving to other cities and being in different situations in life (in school/working..) doesn't matter.

harmless_little_f***

Nope, unfortunately.. Not even my Best Man.

iamica

I'm still good friends with someone I've known since we were 9 years old.
Other than that, there's not too many left. I kept in touch with a few people from high school, but that's about it.

MrMerkinball

I still see my best friends once in a while.

There was a group of 7 of us from Grade 3 (1983) and we are all still best friends today.

We are all married with kids now, so it is not as often as we would like.

We have 2 annual events. Super Bowl at my house and we have been in a fantasy baseball pool together since 1991, so Draft Day is a big event.

petrocs

No. I have moved around a lot so I dont really have many childhood friends. I have friends from places I worked at when I was 16-17 still today but no friends from childhood

rival.

i have known my three closest friends that i hang out with regularly since i was 5 and i am 26 now.

we were actually talking about this the other night. we couldn't believe that it's been 20+ years. hard thing to find these days.
