5. Mary Ann for me too

Ginger was out of my preteen league and snooty to boot. I wanted Mary Ann to be the girl next door. Suffice to say, my best friend’s name was TV. I had lots of real friends too, but I seldom considered someone besties for more than a couple of months. Upon reflection, none of my elementary school age friends remained what I’d consider ‘close’ into high school - we were amiable, but they weren’t who I hung out with.

9. Depended on where I lived and went to school

In California, it was Janet. Then we moved to Nebraska for a year, and it was Karen. Then It was Badger Village, WI, for about a year and I didn't really have a best friend. When we moved to Madison, my best friend in grade school was Heidi, but after grade school, even though we went to the same huge jr. high and high school, we never had another class together and moved in different circles. In jr. high, I mostly hung out with Julie and Christine, two very different girls. Then in the summer between my sophomore and junior years I met Sue, and we were besties from then on.

20. Paige

She was my best friend until her parents moved to a nearby state.
Her mother was also my mother's best friend.

I remember one time, I saw a car coming down the road, and wishing Paige was in the car.

And, it was Paige!
(She was with her father)

21. Careful, that's a common phishing question.

It's one of the first options on a list of security questions. Obviously, your intent is innocent, but those with evil intent can read these posts.

We were tomboys and had a lot of fun. There were woods nearby and we'd play cowboys and Indians.

[debm55]

28. Sandy

His given name was Basil so he was happy have the nickname. He was also the 5th person in his family to have that name. We often called him B5 and said he's the only person on earth named after a vitamin.

30. My first best friend was Seeta.

I was broken-hearted when her family moved back to the Netherlands. We were best friends from the age of 3 until 6 when she left. I still remember feeling devastated.

[debm55]

32. I am so sorry pandr32.

34. The same to you, Debbie!

[electric_blue68]

36. Either Bethy, or Susie. I remember both...

Had several more friends, and was devastated when we moved only 10 blocks away, but to a 7 yr old child (during the summer deliberately between school years) - it was like miles & miles away! Never saw them again. Devastated!
Later, my dad found Bethy's family when I was a young teen, and we corresponded for a while.

Made new friends especially one who was thought to be quite cool by many, but I was her friend bc we were both quite smart, and liked each other's company as well.
And speakng of the time of year she and I wanted to do tmThe Times Sq Ball drop on NYE when we were adults 😄, but we lost touch.

But I was sort of often ostracized by what I considered the coolest group some were artistic like me, almost all were fashion fans as was I.

Once in JHS, and definitely HS had a whole group of new friends, and left those troubles behind.
