What true friendship mean to me is a person who sticks by your side through good or bad. Having true friendship is something that you should be appreciative about because not many people have true friendship. I think having friends is a great thing because if you trust them enough, to call them like your brother or sister, then it's like you can turn to them when your in doubt or if something happen in your life that you needed someone to turn to there already there for you. Having friends is a great thing. People have a lot of trustworthy friends, but there's this one person that you trust more than your other friends.
ReplyDeletePeople that had people in there lives who had there mom leave them, there dad leave them or someone who they love dearly who passed away can't get over that feeling that they are actually gone. Having that one friend to talk to makes you feel so much better knowing that they can do so much more and have there mom or dad look over them. Having a friend that cheers you up or gets you through tough times are good to have around. There are also times when you go through a time when you don't want your friend to talk to you. you want someone who you might think understands more because they might've been in that situation before or they have some kind of ideal that you don't have. You don't need friends for everything. Sometimes you have to do things on your own. Can you always count on your friend all the time? I guess you can, but what good does that do you if you can't figure something's on your own.
great reply Elijah, I completely agree with you when you talk about friends are people who stick by your side. I also understand when you say having one friend could help some one who had loss some one. I can also relate to that cause I had a friend there for me when some one close to me had passed away. Nice job
DeleteI agree, friends are a very important part of life. They are there for everything and anything. there will be times in life when things get hard and they will be there for you through thick and thin. true friends are those friends that help you make those problems go away. nice job fish i agree with you one hundred percent.
DeleteFriendship is the relationship between two people who really care about each other. Your friendship will keep you happy, but it is not easy. Friendship takes time and effort, and sometimes you have to step over your pride and put yourself on the place of your friend, and see what he/she feels even if you think you are correct. A friend can provide a lot of support and comfort in good times and bad. Many things are needed to make friendship a real one, support, honesty, and loyalty. In my opinion, friendship is when you and your friend know that you will never do anything bad to each other, that you can protect each other, fight but come together again and there will be always happiness around when your friend is next to you. A friend can call you at 3 a.m. and you will never be mad at them, because you know that something happened. With your friend you are being yourself. You can tell him/her all the secrets and know that they will never tell them to anyone. Sometimes even a friend can be closer to you than somebody from your family. We can choose our friends, but we can’t choose family. It is knowing there is a person who you can trust completely. It is realizing that someone else wants the best for you, and you want the same for them. It is being together without needing to pretend. It is knowing that you can call them anytime and they will be happy to hear you. It is leaving somewhere for holidays with your family, and sending a text to them everyday explaining what is going on, and missing them a lot. It is sharing your grief and you happiness with them. It is helping them solve problems, and knowing they will do the same for you. It is fighting with them because of some stupid thing and knowing that after five minutes everything would be great again. It is forgiving them if they were wrong because you know they didn’t mean it. It is sharing your dreams, hopes, and secrets together. It is coming to help them and expecting nothing in return. It is having fun through everyday life together. It is finding time for each other no matter what. It is understanding that you friend is the best and telling him that all the time. It is saying no without having to explain why. Therefore friendship is really important.
ReplyDeleteI definetely agree dylan . I couldnt have said it any better. Good job ! Wish I had that much to say ! I ran out of words. I enjoyed reading your blog though
DeleteTrue friendship to me is having someone . . .a boy or girl to be there for you when your down or whatever Is going on in your life. You would be able to count on them. No matter what time of day , month or year . ' and they will comit to helping you with any situation.. they wont lie to you, steal from you , spread rumours about you or act different . Friendship is also about defining eachothers characteristics && knowing all about eachother and having that bond / connection. Its really important. Some people just take it for granted . But its just like being married. Its all About committment and the things that go along with it... such as loyalty, honesty, trust, and respect. ' last year I had this bestfriend named amanda that i knew for 4 years and I was nothing but good to her. I loved her and was always there but she wasnt as in deep feelings as much as I was about our relationship so a couple months later she finds a new bestfriend and just forgets about me. It hurt me to the core and made me realize a little more about friendship. Everyone isnt your friend .
ReplyDeleteFriendship is one of the most important aspects in life at least in my opinion. This is because “true” friends will stick by your side through thick and thin and will never judge you for your mistakes or accomplishments you made in the past, present, or future. True friend ship in my opinion means someone who you can call your brother even if you’re unrelated to each other. Another way I can describe true friend ship is by having a family that you choose not that you are given. I think having friends is important because like I said before that friend wont judge you are shun you they would just except you. I think friends are also vital in life because unlike some family friends can connect with you and understand what you’re saying a little more because they can understand you and will always be with you no matter what. Having a friend is a feeling unusually to other feeling because it is such a special thing in life.
ReplyDeleteMany times in my life and I’m sure I yours we all had a friend to understand and comfort us on a not so good day. One of those day happened to me when someone close to me had passed and I was devastated, however someone who I now considered a true friend came up to me to make me feel better a tried to cheer me up and now is my best friend. And yes I know that doesn’t sound like a lot but just the thought of cheering me up made me feel better and it proved that that friend was there for me and would be for the rest of my life. That is just one example of how a true friend had helped me through a rough time.
Friendship is important to all people. It helps us meet new people and learn things about people we may have never imagined being friends with. Learning about things they enjoy or their past or what they want to be when in the future. Friendship lets you enjoy people's company and people enjoying your company. Whether it be playing games together, socializing with each other or going to parties and events together. True friends will stick by you no matter the situation and will stand with you.
ReplyDeleteFriends wont desert you in a time of need and wont ignore or ridicule you on certain traits or hobbies of yours. A friend will make you feel better when you're having a rough day or talk to you if you have nobody else to consult. Many people might be your friend just to use you for gain of something they want, unlike an actual friend. It's important to have friends in your life to have more excitement in your life so you can make the most of it. They hang out with you, talk to you and will not leave you in a time of need.
Friendship to me are people that don't abuse your friendship and are genuine to you and your interests in life. I have friends and they have changed my life for better or worse and for the most, it's for the better. I think friends can alter a life to make it more interesting so you can enjoy your life just a little more. Having fun with friends is important and enjoyable in my opinion. That is what I think about friendship and why I believe it's important for people to get friends in their life.
I agree with you Adam. You and I are almost on the same page here. We both understood what it means to be a friend and how important a friend is. I think you did a good job explaining why you think that have a friend or friendship in general is a great thing to have. Therefore, I completely agree with you.
DeleteTo me friendship is the act of people coming together to become close and trust each other and feel comfortable with each other to be around. Not only this but you interact well and get along and work together as a good team, You can rely on friends when things get tough in your life and they try to cheer you up to make everything better. People also have friends Having friends is important because you need them when you become sad to make you happy and plus its always good to have friends because you don't wanna be lonely and have no one to talk to, so you have friends to socialize with and to have fun with. To me friends are important because its important to me and rotc, i have to rely on my friends on my teams (color guard, drill, etc.) to do there job and complete their task on what they have to do so that when i do my part then the whole task is complete because we worked as a team. For example, I'm the american flag in color guard and i call commands for my color guard to execute and i have to rely on them to execute them correctly but then at the same time they rely on me to remember my command list and execute my commands to as a team and thats how i became friends with them by gaining trust with my fellow members and completing a task together as a team. So yes, friendship is important.
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of talk about true friendship but no one really knows for sure what that means. The most that people can come to the meaning of true friendship is people who care about you enough to stand by your side through thick and thin. No matter the situation that person will be there. I believe having friends is really important because they will help out with what ever the problem. I think this because there once was a quote that said "You know who your true friends are when they stand by you in a fight but the fakes will leave you" this basically is self explanatory because you do realize who they are because when they are your true friends they will stand up and help you.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was younger I didn't have many friends like I literally had little to none but when I grew up I started collecting friends and when I needed them most was a couple of years ago. At that time my mother had gotten breast cancer and she was devastated but now my friends and I work to help and support others so we don't have to hear the words you have cancer and my mother is a big time surviver. When I needed my friends most they were there and they helped me out with anything I needed help with. Friends are people who will always be there when you need a shoulder to cry on and also they are there so if you get in trouble they can bail you out if you know for the proven fact you weren't the one to do a thing. Friends aren't people who are there with you until you have an embarrassing moment they are the people who stay with you even though they know how embarrassing that situation was for you they will still be there and they won't leave your side.
I think that true friendship is when two or more people form a close bond that is exceedingly difficult to break. A true friend is someone who stays by your side during hard times and tribulations. Someone whom I would consider a faux friend is someone who only wants to be around you when it is convenient for them, or only wants to be around you because you have money or power.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is most definitely essential to have friends. If someone does not have friends, they will likely get very lonely, and possibly depressed. Depression has negative physiological effects, and it is not something good to have for long. Having it at all is terrible, but having it for an extended period of time is worse. The longer you have it, the more damaging it is. Friends help to keep it at bay. Additionally, it is good to have friends because of the memories you will have with them. This way, you will have something to look back on in old age. As you can see, friendship is pivotal.
