I met my good friend in college, and the rest I met while teaching! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-meet-your-closest-friends-2#post-2580204 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 11:36:33 +0000 PeaceLily 2580204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My closest friends are from preschool, elementary school and middle school. We stayed friends throughout high school and college. I was 4 years old when I met my one friend in preschool and I'm now 28 and we are still close! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-meet-your-closest-friends-2#post-2577693 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 12:05:51 +0000 nana87 2577693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My closest friend and I met at summer camp in 8th grade :) my other close friends kind of vary-- my circle moves a lot and I'm not great at keeping in touch consistently, it's more like if we're in the same place we pick up where we left off. Those friends are mostly from grad school or from in between grad school and undergrad. I'm not close to anyone else but my bff from home, and not as close to college friends anymore either as I used to be </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-meet-your-closest-friends-2#post-2577684 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 11:45:29 +0000 hellobeeboston 2577684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mostly college, and high school </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-meet-your-closest-friends-2#post-2577682 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 11:44:57 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2577682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All from elementary school. I made some good friends from college, but since I moved abroad, it's all but fizzled out. Without having family ties (which my elementary school friends and I have a.k.a. we all know each other's families or godparents for each other's kids) it's just really difficult to stay in touch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-meet-your-closest-friends-2#post-2577646 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 11:16:28 +0000 FancyGem 2577646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At church.

I read somewhere a study showing that your odds of making close friends decline substantially after your early 20s. It's a bit depressing actually, especially since none of my college friends live in the same town anymore...That said, I remember my grandparents making new close friends in their 70s, so I guess it's not hopeless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-meet-your-closest-friends-2#post-2577535 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 09:26:53 +0000 csross217 2577535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I met my two closest friends through DH!

It's cool that we've been able to remain in touch from getting our drivers licenses to having kiddos. I think it's so cool that some of you still are close with friends from early childhood!</p> <p>ETA: ohhh and through work! Some of my besties are from my old job. It's how I met DH too :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-meet-your-closest-friends-2#post-2577349 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 01:49:03 +0000 lamariniere 2577349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>High school and college.

Elementary, middle school, high school, 2 colleges, one on Pinterest, one sold me shoes at Nordstrom, I've met a few other photographers over the years. Mostly I've become closer with people I have been friends with in the past since I got pregnant- so reconnecting with other Moms. I am on the older side in my area to have my first child. I have 2 'best' friends and about 10 close friends that I see 1-2 times a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-meet-your-closest-friends-2#post-2577280 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 21:24:42 +0000 ChitownRo 2577280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>College! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-meet-your-closest-friends-2#post-2577262 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 20:39:10 +0000 MrsKoala 2577262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>High school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-meet-your-closest-friends-2#post-2577245 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 20:12:16 +0000 californiadreams 2577245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>elementary and high school. and college. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-meet-your-closest-friends-2#post-2577243 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 20:08:03 +0000 winter_wonder 2577243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>College and work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-meet-your-closest-friends-2#post-2577239 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 20:04:39 +0000 Charm54 2577239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sisters are my best friends .
