It is possible but difficult. Everybody is so busy and have to move on. We are friends still but not like before because we don't hangout anymore.

Yes, as you and your childhood bestfriend prove it. I have a very close childhood friend though we don't consider each other as bestfriends really but I know what we have is a more profound relatonship as friends. Maybe I got a bestfriend in her. Same with yours, our treatment or our bond hasn't change a bit eventhough we are in our 20's now.

Nope-- unfortunately my best friend and I grew apart after high school- all through school we were inseperable- joined at the hip-- we went different ways in life- Me to college and her to the Marines- She now lives in Texas and I live in NY-- I have kept many good friends from school- We have contact weekly and go out often! But not my best friend!

i had a bestfriend when i was a kid, now that we're grownups we're still friends but not as close as we were before. time brought us apart and i guess its ok coz she's having fun with her life and im having a blast with my life and i have a new bestfriend :)

I still talk to a few people I knew from childhood when I see them but other then that its not like Im close to anybody I ever really knew because I moved away about 3 years. Although I dont think its impossible to keep friends from childhood I just think in order to do that you have to keep in touch with them constantly or really theres no hope and you guys eventually drift off like I did with all my friends.

I have had the same best friend since 2nd grade, almost 26 years! We are total opposites, but I am closer to her than my own sister. I don't know how I would live without her!
