Just wanna know if all of you here still has contacts with their childhood friends, coz me, in my case, I don't know where they are now. There's only one thing that I know about them, is that they're already professionals and others got married. One day, I saw one of them driving in a car in a very nice suit, I have no choice but to hide because I am very shy knowing that they're expecting too much from me knowing that I am the best in our class.. What should i do? search them on facebook and add them? i really am shy..

I have searched facebook and myspace both and found quite a few of my old school friends. All of us lead very different lives. But we still share a common bond of favorite memories from school. There are some friends who have done very well, some not as well. That doesn't bother me at all. I love exchanging memories with my friends. I'm not worried about how well they are doing or not doing (though I do wish them well) just that we were and are still friends. Even if we are just internet friends now.

Not that much because some of my childhood friends are already married and they move in to another place. But there are some who still remains here in the Philippines. And we still see each other though its not that too often, but we still know what happens to each of us.

Hi, I am so glad that with facebook, I am able to find back some old mates which we have lost in touch for very long time. Some of my old friends are married and have few kids and we managed to catch up with each other again..That is fun. We have lot things to chat around and we just wanna know each other better and long story to go on. I won't feel shy seeing again my old mates. And I am still trying to find more old mates using facebook.Hope I will have chance to meet them personally one day.

Thanks to facebook, I found my childhood friends again. It's such a great feeling seeing and interacting with them. No matter where they are, we are in touch. Thanks to the magic of digital technology. I think there is no reason for you to feel shy. I'm sure your friends would love to see and hear from you. You should take this opportunity positively. Who knows, they might be able to help you in terms of employment, or business, or whatever...Also, there is no reason for you to feel insecure. Success should be in your own terms, and not in comparison to others. Be inspired and be happy for whoever you are right now, and likewise, feel the same for your childhood friends.

i am happy and excited at first when i meet my childhood frinds.but to my disappointment,they just can not recognize me when i call their names out suddenly.and that will makes us very embarrassed. sometimes i think, maybe the changes on me is too much.meanwhile, we didn't keep in touch with each other all the time.and all of that make us strangers. to me,i think it is ok to meet a friend in your situation.

I would add them on facebook. I have added a few grade school friends or classmates of mine. A lot of them have families now, which is weird. I'm not as successful as I would like to be because of medical problems I've had. I was also one of the best students and was even voted most likely to succeed in high school. I'm not really embarrassed because it's not my fault. I still will graduate from one of the best schools in the country; it will just take me a little longer than normal.

hey i can understand what your talking about coz i switched schools when i was 15 and i was really reserved and shy to go back and speak to my previous school friends but now after my second year of college i making efforts to get in touch with them and its really nice to go and talk to them. I think you should do the same. All the best with that

Hello hyacinth. I don't have contacts with my childhood friends or playmates because all of us are scattered everywhere. In spite of this case, I still miss them a lot and still remember their appearance in the hope that we can meet each other some day with good luck. The major difficulty for me to see them is that I am not working in the city where I was born, but in a faraway place from my hometown and I don't have much chance to see any of them. I will try some day when I go back to my hometown once I know about any one of them. Have a good day, friend.

No.. I've lost contacts with them already. I really miss them and would like to catch up on things with them. However, I'm experiencing the same thing as you... I am too shy to add them on facebook and they might not remember the friendship that we once had. People change. So i'm not really sure if I should add them :X

If childhood friends means the friend you made before middle school, actually I don't have much contacts with them. This year, when I hang on one of my friend's home page of facebook, I saw my best childhood. I was so excited and added her to my facebook immediately at that time. When we first met on the internet, we talked a lot, about her family, her lovely son, etc. But our lives have changed a lot since we haven't seen each other for almost twenty years. Later on, we didn't talk as much as we first met. She is not as close as she was to me. But I think our friendship will not fade, even if we are not close to each other now, my best wishes always go to her. Wish her a good Christmas holiday and Happy New Year!
