Do you still remember the names of childhood school friends?

Question

I'm 25 and I can only recall a few. Is this normal?

Answer 1

I can recall quite a few of my childhood school friends, I think it helps when you have photographs of them to jog your memory.

Answer 2

I went to the same school from age 9 to 14 and I can remember the names of all the ones at that school - I've caught up with alot of them on facebook. before that it's all a bit hazy though! I'm 27.

Answer 3

I can remember about ten names from around the age of 10...more from when I was older...it's funny though...I only have one friend left from school. All my real friends were made at University and at work afterwards.

Answer 4

I only remember the names of the people I was really close to. Its normal to forget the rest but chances are you havent forgotten their face.

Answer 5

I remember lots of them. I have just spent a lovely weekend in Mayo Ireland with my best friend from school, we meet in 1968

Answer 6

yes it is normal as children generally grow up with a couple of close friends. the rest are just friends. i expect if you was to talk to a friend from school you would remember alot more than you realise.

Answer 7

I'm somewhat older than you & I can think of at least 20 from primary school....but, by the time I walk to the kitchen, I may have forgotten why I was going there!

Answer 8

Yes I remember them as though it was yesterday, and it is a long long time ago.Teachers from my junior school remember so well also.

Answer 9

Answer 10

some of them not all, and I'm only 24 don't know if i will remember in another 24 years time though
