Friends will change.
Childhood friendships, people say, it’s supposed to last forever. But relationship tends to grow and change, and not always lasting forever. Childhood friendships are usually the ones that fall apart or end, when teens grow up. The constantly changing environment of school, home, separates you from the people you used to consider BFF. You grow up and you change, and so do your childhood buddies. You’ll find new interests, new hobbies and new things that make you passionate that you cannot possibly share with your old pals.

Childhood friendships
And that’s actually okay. The end of a friendship is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as it doesn’t come with a huge fight or quarrel. Sometimes people grow apart and this is especially true for the tumultuous teenage years. High school and college, moving to another city, starting a relationship – all of these are challenges that will most probably drive you and your old childhood friend apart.
Childhood friends
- Let it go
Maybe they would stay the quiet kid, while you find yourself attracted by parties and meeting new people.Letting go of an old friendship is never easy but it sometimes necessary. It’s certainly sad to not be able to share things with someone you considered one of your closest friends, but it happens. It won’t erase the happy memories you used to have with your childhood comrade, quite the opposite. But most friendships, especially during the teen years, come with an end date.
Change in childhood Friendships.
You’ll find yourself changing more quickly than you can possibly imagine, and you’ll find people who suit your new self more than your old chum. Don’t be afraid of letting go and don’t feel guilty for doing it – this is the natural course of things, and it is a part of life. Instead, get ready and welcome the new and relationships. “People will walk in and walk out of your life, but the one whose footstep made a long-lasting impression is the one you should never allow to walk out.” Michael Bassey Johnson definition of a true friend.
Very true! Sometimes the friendship can turn toxic and that’s unfortunate. Love yourself and them enough to walk away if that is needed.
Earl-Leigh Designs, So true friendship and friends can be so negative and toxic as you say. Thanks for your support.
Very good points. Sometimes you just grow out of relationships and their is nothing wrong with that.

I can honestly say that I have lost touch with every childhood friend that I ever had. It’s sad, but people change and grow. Now if I could make new friends, I’d be doing good… lol
Jamie true. Thanks for your support.
Thanks so much for your advice. I’m always sad when friendships end for me.
Terri, Glad you like . Yes, friendship end to bring new people and experiences to you.
It can be sad, but I agree, people change, life happens, and sometimes, you just need to move on — both of you do and it’s okay when that happens.
All of us enter into friendships that we think are going to last forever. Then out of the blue, the friendship changes, and we find ourselves the victim of a friend that has begun to undermine our confidence, whittle away at our self-esteem, and make us feel like we are inferior to them. This is called a toxic friendship.
