Wanted to share something good that happened to me. I was surfing my myspace page and I got a message. It was from two girls that I went to junior high and high school with. We were best friends in school. They said that they have been looking for me. So my question is did you keep intouch with classmates from childhood or lose touch??? Would you wanna ever reconnect with them if you had the chance??

I do keep in touch with most of my friends and classmates from way, way back. There was this classmate of mine in elementary which I've been trying to find in friendster and myspace for ages now. He used to make the clothes for my barbie dolls.

I still have contact with some of my closest friends because of new technology - internet and cell phone. We still talk, chat and email but sometimes there isn't much to talk about other than the memories we had in the past. I still have lots of friends I haven't seen or heard from in a while and looking for them through the internet seems futile because some people are not very keen on it.

Hi,Mz Tiffany06! Thanks to the Internet so I can communicate with my friends from childhood.It is really happy when we talk about something of our childhood. One of my best friends,the friendship between us have lasted for more than 13 years.I knew her when we were both primary school students and from then on,our friendship began.Even now,we always visit to each other.I think the relationship between us is more than friendship,she is my family memebers to me.And so do I.

I still have contact with some of my best friends. Thanx for the technology. We still keep contact via cellphone and internet. I found some of them at friendster. But I lost contact with some of my friends from my childhood. I wish I could find them.

I have lost touch with all of my primary friends. When I was in secondary, some of them try to connect with me but after leaving the school, I lost contact with them either. I would have lost contact with secondary too if there didnt exist the Internet. No normal person want to foget their friends for sure.

i would say partly yes and partly no, because still i have some touch with some of my school friends and some of them with whom i dont. But to conitnue any relationship is a very good sign of caring for that and friendship always stands tall of all the relationships.

i have been pretty lucky that i am in contact with a few close friends from my childhood. i come from a very big family and didn't have many friends because there were just so many of us to hang out with. yet the few friends that i have made are still true friends to this day

Getting in touch with old friends is normally a difficult thing because when you depart from each other, some go far away while some stay close. At times you don't know where they live. I loose touch with most of my old friends, but whenever I come in contact with some of them, it normally become a big surprise. Thanks and have a nice day.

I had lost touch of several friends. But because of the internet, I have soon got in touch with them. But still, there are those who are not really internet savvy or those who don't really go online all the time. These people I have no more contact with. Yes there are mobile phones but due to people's attitude of keeping on changing their numbers, I have lost their contact. But still there are those who I have contact with until now. These are my friends way way back in primary school. *LOL* =) I keep in touch with friends through friendster, yahoo messenger, emails, mobile, phones, and we meet once in a while too. =)

Some I lost touch with, and some I'm still in touch with. The ones who married and moved away from the area in which we grew up, tend to make new friends and move on, but those who stay locally, I often bump into in the street, whilst shopping, or in pubs when I go to play darts. It's a small world and I think great to keep in touch with childhood pals. Brightest Blessings.

I have lost touch with all of friends and classmates from childhood. We are now working in different places and it is not very easy to connect each other. If possible, I would like to re-connect them.

i've lost touch with most of them.attending different schools,moving to other places,getting new phone numbers,all lead to a break of our relationship.but one thing is, the ones who mean something in my heart have never lost touch with me.we hold care for each other,and have contacts from time to time.i think,if there is no accident, the ones who remain are the friends worthy of keeping in touch with.
