I remember when I was small, I had a friend. His name was Matt, we always used to go outside and play soccer together. We played with each other every single day we could, but then I moved away from him. I had his number, but when I called him, I found out that he also movie. Have you ever had a best friend in your childhood? Did you move away from your friend or are you still close?

Dear friend, Yes I do have not one may more than two. I have few best friends from my schools days onwards. Even now I do have few good best friends. They are really an asset in my life. Their roles in my life is really valuable and they are a big strength for me.

Me & my best friend are far from each other but we always find time to communicate with each other in texting, chat, or even emails but when we have time we always have a lunch date & try to make up the time we've lost. Its a pity that we both are busy with different life we have but we always take time for each other.

I have a bestfriend from high school. We were so close and we did almost everything together. We were always together even at school or out of school and we just agree about everything. Right now we are living in different cities and we only see each other like 3 or 4 times a year but we do still have contacts the internet and through texting in cellphones.

I used to have quite a few best friends in my childhood. But when I reached high school, we started to hang out with different people, so we weren't that close anymore. I haven't seen of many of my friends in years.

I had a very close friend when i was young, but we leave each other because we went to the different high shcool. Many years later, we found each other again from internet, but i felt we cant go back to before, we all grow up and hold many different ideas. I have another best briend after her, and we are still close and share secrets.hah..I think we will be the best friend for the whole life.

I still have my friend with me. Am aged 23 right now, and my friend, I know him since i was 8 years old. We used play cricket, watch movie in VCR(way back there was no cds), study together. We both have a kind of bonding, which many have envied on, and still envy upon. I always believe in him, and so does he. We still spend atleast 10 hours a week together, talking bout us, and things around us, playing cards, watching movie. I am really fortunate in having a childhood friend who is still with me, over 15 years now. Even If I were to go out of station, we talk over the phone, we update each others status every now and then, and try to be in touch always, atleast once in a day. Thanks for reminding me that this guy is still with me, am going to call him now, and let him know it has been 15 years already!

wow, that's crazy. A best firend for 15 years! Where do you live? I live in Cnada, I have already moved 5 times in my lifetime. I know, it seems like a lot, but the old houses didn't suit me. Me and my friend also played cricket with each other! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I used to have a best friend ever since I was in school, but now my best friend lives over thousands of miles away. Her name was Wendy and we would dress alike in high school, and now she is married and have children. I find myself feeling uncomfortable around people who are acting strange towards me. I spend most of my time staying in my apartment alone individually and jobless. I wish I could move to the state where she lives now.

Like you, I had a best friend and then we moved across the country. We got together about five years later but things weren't the same. We'd each grown in different directions. My Aunt had a friend who remained her best friend for 80 years. They met when they were 9 years old and they passed away within 6 months of each other

You're pretty lucky that you actually get to keep in touch with your childhood friend. I never got the chance. I'm happy that you've made new friends!

I had one back when I was in my preschool years. It was a boy but cannot remember his name anymore. He moved to another place so I never saw him ever and since we we're so young we did not get the chance to get our phone number. But I remember him to be such a sweetheart. I then had another one but she became my enemy when we got to our high school years due to her naive personality. She had this perception that I was getting all the boys. Funny moments right there but she overcome that and we are now still friends. Currently I have one who went overseas because her father is Italian and he goes to different countries. We are still in contact and she is my ever dearest whom I love. The only thing is we have not seen eachother for almost 8 years. But a good thing is we kept in touch.

I remember when I used to have a best friend when I was in school. Sadly he too had to move away because his parents found better paying job in a different city. But I tried to ask for his number but he said he didn't know it. So we didn't stay in contact.

When I was in school I had a friend who used to sit beside me in every class. But unfortunately we are not in touch, as soon as I left from that place I couldn't get a chance to meet her again. I guess she might got married now. As of now in my life my best friend is my fiancee. He is my friend and later we fell in love. He is my guide, friend, advisor everything to me. I love him.

Hi. I think I never had a bestfriend when I was young. I've met my bestfriend in the workplace. We've known each other for six years now. His name is Jef but I call him Best. I could not have survived the sleepless nights during our busy seasons if not because of him. He resigned from the firm a year ahead of me but our communication lines remained open. We meet at least once a month.

yes i had a best friend when i was on high school her name is cris, but her family had to move on las vegas for good. then we promise that we will keep our communication and our friendship ring. after she left we always sending letter and communicating through cellphone but one year later she didn't respond and our communication was lost. until 6 years i meet our old classmate her neighbor before she said that cris went back here and finding our house but she didn't find because we moved already. now I'm searching her name in the internet still hoping to find her.
