I am still in contact with my best friend from year 4, we are 29 years old today. We have lost touch throughout the years however found each other again through myspace. I am also still in contact with a good friend of mine from highschool, we have not lost contact since school. Are you still in contact with friends from school? Has your frienship changed? Or is it still as close as what is used to be in school?

Hi littleowl, I am good thanks. How about you? 39 years is a long time to keep in touch with someone, that would be such a good feeling being friends with someone for that long. I have been friends with my best friend for 10 years now and it feels really good to know someone so well. I could not imagine what a friendship woul feel like after 39 years. You obviously are a great friend to have, little owl. Thanks for your response.

Well, I have contact with my close friend in high school. Because she's busy with her family and work. So our communication stop by itself. I'm glad that I found a contact with my college classmate through friendster. It's nice to ask her present life and what she is doing for all this years(10 years).

My high school friends are still the friends I hang out with. Although I have other friends, friends from work etc., they are still the closest friends I have even if I am already 32. :)

That is really good that you have kept in contact with all your friends from highschool, atleast you know you will always have something in common. Thanks for your story.

I still keep in touch with friends from school through myspace. Its different now because I live in another state. But still have lots in common with most of them. Only one I still call and text back and forth with. I think we are closer now than way back in the day.

I still keep in contact with some friends from college. But it is mainly very casual. I have one friend from college who is my best friend and we still keep in touch, talk many times a week and see each other. Although we live in the city, we are about 45 min - 1 hr apart sp we don't see each other as much as we like. She usually ends up driving over here because of my kids and their activities.

I am still very good friends with only one person from school. I've known her for 16 years. There were times in the past that we lost touch, but even if it had been 9 months since we last spoke, we would pick up like it was yesterday. I currently talk to her about once or twice a week. There are a few others from school that I run into or talk to on myspace, but not very often.

Hi PrincessJamie, it is such a good feeling when you know that you can lose contact with someone for a while and then get back into contact with them and nothing has changed. You know then you will always be friends for life. I have a couple of close friends like that too, it is very comforting to know that they will always be there. Thanks for your reply.

i still maintain good communications with some, though it's very often that we get to contact each other. Some have been working outside the country, others are too busy. But there are occasions were we'd set-up a time to gather together, that I know now is not the time. I also found some on other social networking sites, we just chat along during weekends. I think the friendship changed because we already have our own personal responsibilities, but that's the way things should be. Maybe there will come a time where we'd all get to cherish the moments we all had in the past, a class reunion or something like that would be fair reason.

Yes, i do. Though most of my friends and i are still in the campus. Since we graduated from high school, we are in different places, i'm so far from my friends. My school is located in a small city at the foot of a mountain. It's gonna take me a couple of hours to go to the capital city of our province. I also do have some friends are working at factories, because we hardly share anything in common, i think i'll soon lose contact with them. It's something that i can't anything to change. I really do hope that my friends will have a happy life. And Kiran, have a nice day!

well, I had ever lost contact with them. but later I found them one by one on friendsters. :P mostly we exchanged our mobile phone numbers and we sometimes contacted each other by sending short message via the phone. it's hard to keep on touch because each person has their own jobs and being busy everyday.
