How long have you been friends with your bestfriend? Or can you still remember when did you first meet? Most of my friends when i was little are no longer here so i don't see them often anymore and i think we have grown apart from each other. But i have i few good friends when i was in highschool which continues to keep in touch and we still hang out together whenever we have the time... How about you?

My best friend and I have known each other for almost 6 years. I don't really have many friends. But, one special friend whom I can share everything with. And, after 6 years we've been thru a lot together. I think she knows me better then I know myself.

It'll be 16 years in like, August We're both 17 now and we've been friends since age 1! She used to live around the corner from me and our parents were friends for a bit. We've never had a fight and I consider her family. She's my other half and I don't know where I'd be without her sometimes. The funny thing is, we only went to school together till our like, 3rd grade, and then she moved away. We'll be in our 12th year in September.We even went 4 years without talking and then suddenly she called me and we got together, oh it was nice!

it's so great that my highschool bestfriends and i still get together whenever we have the time. we've remained the best of friends until now. even if we don't hang out all that often. we've never stopped communicating coz we always called each other, texted, emailed so it's really great. some friendships really last

I'm 36 and I have a circle of friends that I have known since I was about 5. I have moved 450 miles away from home and so have a couple of them (or farther), but we still see and talk to each other whenever we get a chance. We may not be as close as we were we when were in the 6th grade and first got our freedom, but we are still all the same although we are different.

I have only 1 best friend left and I still remember how we met. It was during my SSC Exam where we met. She was sitting in front of me. Then once the exams were over we could not talk or meet each other. But, when I saw in the college we were so happy that we both met. Its been 15 years now and we are still good friends by the grace of God. She is far from me but I am in touch with her. she is in India. I am in UAE. But, whenever I visit India, I meet her without fail. I love this saying 'False friends are scattered everywhere like leaves... but real friends are like pearls .. for that we have to dive below...

I have several people I consider my good friends - i don't remember how we met because our parents r friends, and we have baby pictures together. Now we're both 25. My other friend I met before I was in 1st grade, and we still keep in touch until now.

I met my very best friend of all time on sept. 3, 1968. We both moved and started school a day late together and ended up in all the same classes. We were in middle school. We made a pact to always be friends no matter what. There have been huge gaps in our friendship over the years but we always have managed to hold it together. Now 39 years later we are still the very best of friends. I am working on a scrapbook of our friendship which holds so many memories good and bad but all of them very precious. men & women could learn alot from these long term friendships!!

I've got alot of friends during my college years. I have 4 best of friends which stay longer. We always talk and hang out together. We share alot of things about the things happening in our lives. I am very proud of them coz they are one of the best friends i have and i am very afraid of loosing them that is why i do the best i could not to let them go.

My best friend and I have been best friends since the summer before 3rd grade. WE are now 43. I had a different best friend that was invited to this girls birthday party. My friend didn't want to go, so she asked the girl if she could bring me. I ended up attending this sleepover party for someone I didn't even know. We ended up having so much fun together and it turned out that we lived on the same street. Since then we have been best friends. We don't see each other as much as we would like due to our family lives, but we are always there for each other. Once a month we try to get the families together for a game night.

I have very few friends that I would consider very close. I have one that I have been friends with since high school. We are still pretty close even though we don't get to talk to each other much. Other than that, my husband is my best friend. I share everything with him good and bad. We have known each other since I was 19 and I am 35 now. We have been through everything together, we have broken up, moved on to different relationships, hated each other, loved each other, confided in each other, and fell in love again and now we are married. I trust him above all others as he does me.

I have had the same friends, well, most of them, since third grade. I am 24 now. My best friend is Kevin and we have been best friends for six years. Since the day we met we have been inseperable. I couldn't live without him, and he couldn't live without me. I have had boyfriends and he has had girlfrinds, but through it all we have remained best friends. I guess your friends really do know you best.
