How long has your longest friendship lasted? My best friend and I have been friends for 13 years!! I can't believe how long I have known her and I am so glad we've shared so many memories. Meanwhile, my dad is still friends with (and even works alongside)a friend he has had since he was 6 years old!!! Considering my dad is 47 now, that means they have been friends more than four decades...crazy..

I have friends I have been friends with for 15 years, since kindergarten. But my BEST friend and I have been best friends for 9 years. We no longer live close to each other and haven't for about 5 years but we are still just as close as ever!!

20 years! It makes me feel old, actually. My best friend and I can talk about anything anytime. It is a forever frienship that cannot be broken by anyone. My husband didn't like her, but too bad. She is MY friend, he has his. Only one person has ever come close to coming between us but we survived it and our friendship is even stronger somehow because of it. Actually, it was because I did not approve of someone she had made a new friend of, because I knew she would betray and use her. She didn't believe me and thought I was only jealous. I was proven right over time and that is what brought us back together. She is even stronger in the belief now that I will always be looking out for her best interests because I was right.

I have childhood friends but I rarely see them. But I have best friends since High School so we have been friends for like 13 years as well. 4 years in high school, 4 years in college then 5 years after college and still going! Whoaa! I am very lucky to have them in my life. We always see to it that we give time to one another. We set dates for us like lunch or dinner dates. We even schedule our outing every year. I can’t wait for next year. We are planning to be out of town for several days! Can’t wait! Happy Mylotting! Cheers!

My bestfriend and i were childhood friends. From my old pictures, she's always there during my birthdays with me blowing my cake We've been friends for 27 years now. We went to the same grade school and high school. Until now we're keeping in touch eventhough she's busy with her family and career. I'm the godmother of her first child. What we have gone through cannot be replaced with anything in this world as good and best of friends.

I was friends with a guy for over 20 yrs. We knew each other since we were 6 also. We only parted ways when both of us had to marry someone and had to live so far from each other...different countries actually. No more communication since then but I know from my heart that we cross each other's minds every now and then. It was a good friendship. We have not seen each other for 15 yrs and I don't think we ever will again.

my longest friendship is with a girl i've known for 13 yrs. as well, since the 8th grade back in '95, we played softball together and it's funny cause we weren't close during softball, but we became close after softball.

My longest friendship is 15 years. I met my best friend while in 7th grade. We were so inseperable. We were like sisters & she even stayed with my for quite a while when we were in high school. She met a guy & dropped out of school but we still kept in touch. now we still email each other but don't get to see each other as much as we like. When we do get to see each other though it's like always. we pick right up where we left off.

My friend that I met in 1st grade would probably be my longest friendship. Our friendship has grown a bit apart over the last few years do to us doing different sports, and him being more social/popular than myself. We do still manage to hang out sometimes though. Also I am still pretty good friends with my neighbor. He annoys me sometimes but who doesn't nowadays :P
