hello jaiho... its just sad for me that i lose contact to my childhood friends already...and i don't have much close friends back then except for those that i meet in school. i have this friend that i meet from grade 2, she's actually our neighbor and my classmate from 2nd grade till 3rd year college! haha all those years we are always together but we are not really best of friends...just close friends... right now, i just have a chance of talking to her online...and yes i also miss those days with her and our other 2 friends...as they say 'there's no better looking-glass than an old friend'! with my new friends now, i also enjoy their company and i feel like they are my friends already for a long long time...both my old and new friends are people that i like and i love them... my friends now, know who i am now and my old friends know who i am before...hehe

precisely dear ckyera,new friends can be better than the old ones too. the only good thing with old friends is,they are always there...unlike with new friends,when we commit mistakes even if it is unintentional,they tend to fade away instead of understanding us or giving us chance to explain our side. unlike with good old old friends,...no mistakes or shortcomings will ever cut off the friendship that was built proven in time.

Hello amiga dear, Ohhh,that's really sad. Same with me,i lost contacts with my highschool friend back in Cebu,but i was able to see one of them thru Friendster...and wishing we could relive the happy moments during our highschool days(hehehe) With my childhood friends...until now,i had a very close friend back at my grandfathers hometown and until now we are still having communications and the feelings never fade.We are like true sisters...we missed each other always. That's good to know that you have found some good friends too...new ones can be true real good friends like the old ones.

My childhood friends do not really comprise my good friends now. After all the happy times we've had during childhood, we just separated ways and although we still smile at each other when we meet by chance, there is no real closeness anymore. Maybe we were then still young and our goal is just to make fun so the personal relationship is missing. It is just the play that we were really enjoying and not each other perhaps or maybe its because we never really had the chance to be together again after our childhood days because we went to different schools and we did not see each other as often as before. Unlike now that the friend I have have been really close to me because the friendship was developed during our mature stage and we now can go out or spend good moments talking and having fun. We now can really communicate and exchange views about life, rejoice together in times joy and victory and also can be a crying shoulder to each other and can help and support each other in times of problems and trials. My childhood playmates are not really my friends in the truest sense of the word that is why I don't really miss them. Maybe I miss just the fun we had. Unlike my friends now that I consider almost like my own sisters and brothers.

Hello friend, That's true,maybe during those times (childhood)it is more of fun and playing time,not the real closeness of having dreams and caring for each other. But,there are people who has childhood friends that they have grown together till they reach maturity and even when they get married,successfully maintained the friendship. Good that you have met some true friends and enjoys their company now. Thanks for your response and have a good day always

Hi , I do hang out with my old friends only. I tend to make new friends but it takes a lot of effort to know and understand them, so I just love to be in the company of my old goldies. How about you?

until now when I get home parent, I was able to meet with friends of my childhood, but if met, we just smile and say-nonsense, no more no less. Weird? yes because we have been separated by a long enough time so that sense of familiarity as friends began to decrease
