"COULD ANY ONE HELP ME FIND MY 5TH GRADE FREIND? Her name is Aoi Nagamine and we had a forming friendship but SHE MOVED BACK TO JAPAN and i never got her number or got her address so i could write her letters. If any one knows her social medias please send it to me."
@thejftt said:
"Must be nice. I found my childhood bestie after 15 years. I messaged him and he said he doesnt want to have any contact with people from his childhood, then blocked me."
@killerrkelly appealed:
"Umm if anyone can find twins named Britney and Ashley from Escondido, CA, I would greatly appreciate it they were my absolute best friends back in elementary school before I moved away, but I can’t remember their last name."
