Align container with 3 divs horizontally

问题:

I have tried making a container with 3 divs to make three boxes line up horizontally. The center box doesn't align at the top and bottom with the left box and the third box is far below the first two. I researched a bit about this but the changes I tried to make didn't change this.

Thank you so much!

Our histories are unique. The places that we root ourselves, the communities that we are part of, and the ways those relationships change over time are both personal and shared experiences.

What place/s are meaningful to you? Why? <br>

Have you left any places or communities behind, what's that like?

Does this help? You can use flex to align three columns like you're trying to do. Flex does not work in IE (http://caniuse.com/#feat=flexbox)

.container {
  /* Important for columns */
  display: -webkit-flex;
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap:wrap; /*EDIT: will wrap into 1 column if screen small */
}

.item {
  /* Important for columns */
  flex: 1 1 0;
  border: 3px solid #808080;
  height: 52px;
  padding: 10px;
}


/* Remove duplicate borders */

.item-2 {
  border-left: none;
  border-right: none;
}

<div class="container">

  <div class="item item-1">
  Image or text here - 1
  </div>
  
  <div class="item item-2">
  Image or text here - 2 
  </div>
  
  <div class="item item-3">
  Image or text here - 3
  </div>
  
</div>

There isn't a float: center unfortunately.

Consult this Stack Overflow question as it might give you a better idea of what to do. Also the above works if you can use flex!
