*What is true friendship? Do you think that having friends is important? Why or why not?
*Describe a time in your life when friendship was important or describe a time when you thought friendship wasn’t as important as some people made it out to be. Explain using SPECIFIC examples J
Friendship is many things. Friendship is having friends you could trust and that will always be there for you no matter the decisions you make in your life. Friendship is very important in everyone’s life. i think friendship is an important aspect in every single person’s life. I think that is so important because with out friendship people would not talk to anyone. people with hard lives at home with their family, having a friendship could make them feel better and get their minds off things going on in their own personal life at home. Friendship is also important because in a friendship your friend or peer will always have your back. If you get in a fight your friend/ friends will be there just in case you are getting whooped and they’ll step in and brake it up. Another example is you have someone to defend you if some random kid that does not even know you is making fun of you, they will always be there to defend you and have your back. A true friendship is when you have a person that you can trust with anything. Your friend would never lie to you. In my opinion every one should have a true friendship in there life it helps with everything from getting in fights to just wanting someone to hang out with. If you have a true friendship you are a lucky person because some people don’t have friends and have to go through life alone while you are going through life with all your friends right by your side. Everyone should have a true friendship it helps a lot while you are growing up into an adult.
ReplyDeletehey Collin, I just got done reading your blog entry for this week. I totally agree with your point of view on friendship. I liked when you said when friends always have each others back no matter what the scenario. I also liked how you said a true friendship is someone you can trust with anything. Last, I agree with when you said you feel like everyone should have a friend. People need other people. Great blog this week :)
DeleteColin
DeleteYour blog this week was awesome! When you said a true friend is always there when you need them whether it's in a fight or just family problems I thought that was a great example to use! I also agree with you that everyone should have a good friend. Again, great job this week :)
Colin, I really liked your blog this week. I loved the examples that you used. For example, when you get into fights or just want someone to hang out with. I really liked how you explained what a true friendship is. Great job this week! :)
DeleteA friend is someone who knows all of your best stories, and has lived them with you. To me a true friendship is someone who has been there since the beginning and will be until the end. To me friendship is someone who is here for you, who doesn't judge you, and who loves you. Some qualities I think are required in a friendship, is definitely kindness, truthfulness, being able to relate to each other, and definitely communication! This weeks blog Is really hard for me, because I have a really hard time making friends. I'm kind of antisocial because I went through a lot. Some friends I have now are Charlize Diou, Kayla Leary, Patrick Scahfer, and Katelyn Svenson. They are the only close friends I have to be honest. Even though its not many, I trust these people with my life. They all mean so much to me, and I've been through so much with all of them, especially Kayla. Last year I went to a concert to see one of my favorite bands for the first time with Kayla Leary. We went to see Of Mice and Men, and Bring Me The Horizon. I have already seen "BMTH" twice but it was my first time seeing "OMAM" Of Mice and Men is one of my favorite bands of all time. Kayla and I waited in the blistering cold for what seemed like forever, but soon we were inside. After Bring me the Horizon performed we waited for "OMAM" to take the stage. When I saw them walk on stage the crowd roared and I started crying. They performed a song called "Public Service Announcement." this song was about bullying, and other people bringing other people down.. it meant so much to me, because of my past. Bullying was really bad when I was younger, and Kayla new that. I cried as everyone else in the crowd screamed.. I just looked at them. It's crazy how a few guys on stage could have such and impact on my life. As tears rolled down my face, Kayla held my hand until the song was over. Kayla new how much I went through and how much they meant to me and she really is a amazing person.. I love her and I'm so thankful to have her in my life, because I don't know where I would be without her. Friendship to me is really important, because everyone gets lonely once in awhile. I also think friendship is important because everyone goes through things that are easier to get through with support from others. Last, friendship is important because to me people need other people. My dad always tells me that if you can count all of your friends on one hand, consider yourself lucky. He means that not everyone in life is going to like you, and you're not going to like everyone. However, their is going to be a slim few people that will stay with you through my entire life. Friends come and go, but best friends are the ones that would help you hide a body if need be! I love the few friends I have like Charlize, Kayla, Kate and Pat and I hope they are my friends until I take my last breath. <3
ReplyDeleteYour blog this week was outstanding!!!! It's awesome you have true friends to help you in your rough times :) I also agree with your ideas on what true friendship is and that you explained yourself in detail very well. Every week I read your blogs and I learn from all the things you do like punctuation, description, and explaining. You excel on every blog you write! Keep up the hard work because is paying off :)
DeleteI don't know how you do it, but your blogs just seem to be getting better and better! You always excel at your explaining every week. Great job! I also love how every time you do a blog you always tell a story from your past, I think that when people in read your blogs, all of them can learn something from them. I know I definitely have learned many things from your blog. I think it's great that you have an amazing friend like that. Keep up the outstanding work!
DeleteWhat is true friendship? A true friendship is a person that will always have your back, no matter what your decisions are. Also a true friendship can mean the person your not afraid to be yourself around because you know they will always except who you are, and what you will become someday. I think having a true friendship is definently important to everyone because let's face it, we all need that one person to talk to when times get rough, or make us laugh when we are down. Also, having a true friendship can mean making unforgettable memories with a person, that you can't wait to tell in school, or even when your older! Having a true friendship can also bring out the kindness in you. For example,telling your friend all the good things about them, and they can say all the good things about you too!
ReplyDeleteA time in my life when friendship was important was toward the end of the summer when my aunt passed away. I happened to be sleeping over my friends house when I got the news. There were so many people there because it was also a party, so I just ran upstairs into her room and sat on her bed. She followed me upstairs and said I could cry if I wanted. Well I did cry, and she was their for me to put my head on her shoulder. That's true friendship because she didn't care that I was getting her shirt wet and looked like a fool :) she just was worried about making me feel better. I couldn't be happier that I had a true friend like her to sit their and console me, which is an irreplaceable friendship. I may only have 4 true friends, but in my opinion, I think having 4 true friends is better then having 50 fake friends.
I completely agree with your blog this week! A true friendship is absolutely somebody who will always have your back, despite your decisions. You're completely right about the memories, I didn't even think to mention that! Your blog this week is really great and I really love what you think of friendship. You're definitely right that having 4 true friends is much better than a whole group of fake friends. I love your blog this week, good job!
DeleteI agree with your blog this week 100%. the part I agree with most is a true friend will always have your back no matter what decisions you make. I also agree that a true friend you should be able to be yourself around. I like what your opinion of true friendship. good job
DeleteI believe that a true friendship is when you could count on someone. To have a friendship with somebody, that have to treat you the way you would like to be treated, and you have to treat them that way, back. If you cannot rely on somebody, trust them and to love you no matter what; I don't believe they're your friends. Friendship is being able to be yourself around somebody with no exceptions whatsoever, they're able to keep you happy. I don't think having a bunch of friends is important, in life all you need is one really good friend. Having one extremely good friend who would do anything for you, no matter what is better than having a bunch of friends who would not. If you have a whole group of friends in high school, chances are by the time you get out of high school you will not have all of them. Maybe two or three at most. Nothing compares to one best friend. A best friend could make you laugh and smile on all of your worst days, and you could talk to them about absolutely anything / everything. They're somebody who knows all of your secrets and still treats you just as great as when they did not. A true friend is like family, and they know you inside and out. A friend is not just somebody to hangout with, or somebody you walk to class with. Friendship does not mean an acquaintance. In my opinion friendship is so much more than that, and it takes a really great person to realize that. It may take a while, but I do believe that everybody in this world will find their true friends, and lose the fake ones because they're not good for them at all. Again, nothing compares to a true friend, a best friend. Having friends is not important, but finding the right people to be in your life; is.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your blog 100%. you understood how good a friend is. You don't need so many in life just the real one. Everyone at some point will fine a best friend. I like when you said when we graduate high school we wont be friends with all of them Because they even happened when we came into the high school. Everyone changes so its good to that your bestfriend by your side. you did a good job explaining this weeks blog
DeleteThank you Mia for commenting on my blog. It was so sweet and I loved it. I agree with your blog 100 percent too and you did an amazing job!
DeleteA true friendship is where you can tell everything to without them judging. You know they will always be there for you no matter what. I think having friends is very important because you have that person to talk to when you can’t tell your parents. No everyone feels comfortable telling their parents something they did. That’s why your friends are there to listen. Not only are friends there to listen they are always there to make memories with and give advice and just hang out. It doesn’t matter how many friends you have. You can have 3 and another person can have 100. Either way you got the people you need in your life. Now at days kids think people are losers if they only have 5 friends. But the way I look at it is that it’s better to have 5 real friends that won’t judge you and keep your secrets than 5 fake friends that make your life horrible. For me I have a few friends that I talk to out of school but in school I talk everyone. I don’t need a lot of people in my life I only want the true friendships that will be there for me until the end. One time friendship was important was when my aunt almost died. Almost 2 years ago my aunt had a stroke and now she can’t talk and barely walk. My best friend Kayla that I knew for 12 years was there for me and helped me get that this will be her life for a while. I’m thankful for her still being here and if it wasn’t for Kayla I would be so upset that I wouldn’t be able to have a full conversation with her anymore. I’m just so happy with the true friends I have and they will be there until the day we die.
ReplyDeleteAlyssa, good job on your blog this week! It was great! I agree with you completely with the definition on what true friendship is, you can tell them anything with out them judging you. I think its completely right because so many people In the world today, don't want to be friends with someone because the way they talk or the way they dress and its so wrong. Anyway good job.
DeleteA true friendship could be many things depending on the person that you ask. To me, true friendship is when there is someone, (it could be only one person or more than one person), that you can tell absolutely anything to and they will not judge you, no matter what it may be. Also, it is when you can trust that person with anything that you tell them,whether it is a secret, or not. You should be able to trust your friends with anything. Last, true friendship is when that person, or people, are always there for you. A true friendship is when you have someone that has been with you since the beginning and will not leave you, even if times were to get hard.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, having friends are very important. Everyone should have at least one true friend. Everyone should have someone that they can talk to, and be able to have fun with, and tell secrets too, and just be able to bond with. Teachers, guidance counselors, and even parents say that you can talk to them about anything, but it still is not the same as having a friend that you can be able to talk to. I am lucky because I have friends that I know that I can talk to about anything with and that I can trust. Some people may not be that lucky though, which is why everyone should always be polite to people. You do not know if that person is going through something and needs someone to talk to. You could even be that person.
My dad always told me that if I grow up and only have one true friend, I am lucky because only one real friend is all anyone needs to be happy. I completely believe that. One time when I was younger, I had a best friend. We have been friends since kindergarten and did everything together! One day we got into a big fight and I got really upset because I thought I was losing my friend. That was the time I realized who my true friends were They helped me forget about this and they were with me through everything. I realized that I had more than only one friend that will always be there for me, and that is all I need.
In my opinion, i believe that true friendship is where friends will go out of their way to do anything for their friend. Also, true friendship is when u can talk about anything with one or more friends. As a very wise gentleman once said, anyone will stay with you when your driving around in a Farrari, although, it takes a true friend to stick with you when ur sleeping under a bus stop bench.
ReplyDeleteI believe that having friends is important. This is so, because being social, and having friends will keep you healthy, and will make you live longer according to recent studies, However, choosing the right friends is also very important. You shouldn’t want to hang around with people that are going nowhere in life,and people that will just get you in trouble and get you a bad reputation further down the road. You should want to hang out with people that have a bright future ahead of them, and people that will help you succeed in life.
Having friends can be important in certain times more than others. For instance, having a friend to go and vent to when you are having a bad day, or when something tragic has recently occurred in your life. In contrast to when you have a very important era in your life. For example, if your grades are slipping, and you need to pull it up. Thats not a very good time to be Mr. Social. Some people think that having “1,000,000” friends is critical. However that is not always the case. As long as you have one or two friends that you know will always be there for you, you don’t need a whole bunch of friends that will only be there for you while you’re at your peak in life.
Friendship is very important and it is also many things. True friendship to me, is a friendship that always tells each other anything and they rely on one another. When you have a friendship with someone, you should treat them the way you would want to be treated. Also, when you have true friendship with someone, you are yourself; you don’t act a different way. Just be you. Never be “Fake” and you’ll know what true friendship is because your friend or friends will accept you for who you are. In my opinion I think having a friend is very important. I think you need a friend because if you are going through a hard time and you need someone to comfort you, you have your friends. Another reason why it is good to have friends because you can joke around with them and have a good time, or you can tell them things and they will help you with whatever you need. For example, something happened one time in my life and my really good friend was there to help me get through it. She stayed by me the entire time and never left my side. See, that’s why I think we should all have friends because you might not know when you’re really going to need one. A time in my life when friendship was important was, when I was younger and my parents went away on vacation and I missed them. My really, really good friend Lisa was there to help me, the stayed beside me, she comforted me. She made me feel happy and I was okay because she stayed with me. That made me realize who my true friends are. Someone that can understand you even if it’s the stupidest things. They’re always beside me.
ReplyDeleteI think friendship is 2 or more friends care about each other. If you are in need of support or you just want to bring a friend along on a trip or something,they are good for that. A friend is someone who doesn't judge you and can make you feel better. A friend is someone who you can always be honest to and can joke around with and they wont get mad at you because you are friends. In school I talk to a lot of people but outside of school I only associate with a few of them. Nobody wants fake friends. I would rather have a few real friends then a lot of people I really don't talk to. I think it is better to have 4 quarters than 100 pennies. True friends always have your back. They back you up in tough situations and are always there for you to lean on.One of my first real friendships was when I was really young. His name was Jarad. He lived he fairly local years ago and I always used to go over to his house. Then one day he moved to Pennsylvania and I didn't see him for many years. A few years he moved back local and he hung out all the time. His mother actually worked for my Grandpa for a few years. she eventually quit and moved away withe her son with out letting anyone know that they were moving. I haven't seen him or heard from him since I was 12 years old. I always thought that Jarad was a real friend ,but in the end I really don't know if he was or not.
ReplyDeleteWhat I think true friendship is when you have someone that will always be there for you. True friends won't judge you for who you are. They will always be there for you when you need them the most. Also, you can have a true friendship with anyone. I think the one person I trust the most is my older brother. He's probably the only one that has always been there for me. Me and my brother do everything together because as we grew up, we always relied on each other. Everyone always says that they are so close to there siblings and they always say how much they love them but they have moments when they get mad at the or that they hate them. I can really never say that to my brother because he has always been there for me. He is my friend and my brother. I know he will be there for me if I'm in any trouble or if im upset. Also, you have to realize who your true friends are and who aren't your friends. The majority of people now a days like to be fake to you. They will act like your friend but they really aren't. Most people always make it seem like a friendship is important but I don't think so. In reality you'll always lose friends and get more in the future. The kids in our generation always worry about losing friends and how to get them back when they could think about all the new friends they could make. People will like you for who you are and if they don't it's not worth your time trying to be friends with them. You don't have to go chase someone. You should just do your thing and the right people will come into your life. This is what my opinion on friend ship and what I think it is.
ReplyDeleteFriendship is the feeling similar to the warmth you feel when you drink warm hot chocolate on a ice cold day. Friendship is like the feeling of jumping in a cold pool on a hot day, or finding the greatest deal in your favorite store, and being able to buy it. To make it simpler, friendship is one of the greatest feeling, but it could be the worst. Friends show you how to live, how to act, how to smile, how to laugh and how to be you, unless they aren't your friend. True friendship is all the great feelings you could imagine. It's like laughing till your stomach hurts, and then you keep laughing because you cant get the joke out of your head. True friendship is important. It's good to have someone there for you, someone you love like no other, someone you cant replace. Someone like family. The importance of having a true friend is similar to the importance of breathing and eating. Having friends is important because you cant take on the world on your own, things aren't as simple when your alone. My best friend is the person I see myself being friends with forever. They make me feel good about myself, and they show me how to be happy, and how to enjoy living in a horrible society. Friendship has always been important to me, especially growing up as an only child. Friendship takes away all the bad in the world, making things easier to look past. Friendship seems to be more important than anything in high school, and I'm glad to have my group of best friends. Thankfully, the importance is similar to them, and that's why we'll be there for each other for as long as possible.
ReplyDeleteDevyn, I love the way you compared friendship to drinking hot cocoa, and jumping into a pool. I agree that friendship is one of the greatest feelings. I'm an only child too so I can relate to how you feel about friendship, having no one to depend on at home if you don't want to talk to your parents. I agree completely about your blog this week and you did a great job!
DeleteA true friendship is when your best friend is always there for you, whether you are having a great day and you want someone to share your excitement, or you’re having a really awful day and all you want is a shoulder to cry on. A true friendship means that you are going to always be there for each other no matter what. I think having friends is important, but you don’t need a ton of friends to be happy. If you have those few two or three friends that support you all the time, you would be alright. Let’s face it, you can’t please everybody, so it would be pretty hard to have a ton of friends.
ReplyDeleteFriendship has always been important to me but there was one time in my life when the definition of friendship became something even more important. I was in fourth grade and my family decided to move. I had to switch schools and when I had moved I didn’t have many friends, so this was almost like a fresh start for me. On my first day of school I made a friend and her name was Dakota. That was probably one of the greatest days of my life. I had finally made a true friend and for the first time I realized what a real friendship was. From that day on, Dakota was like a sister to me and we are still friends today. Our friendship means everything to me.
Whenever I am having a rough day, I can always count on my true friends to help me and keep my spirit high. If you have a great friend that is really positive, you will always be happy. Their positivity can rub off on you easily, especially if you hang out with them a lot. As you can see, true friendship can mean a lot of things, and it means so much, to me.
What is true friendship? Not everyone has the same interpretation. To some people it can be just a bond between two people an to others it can be much more. I think that there is no real definition of friendship, theres no words to describe it if you're true friends with someone.
ReplyDeleteFriendship is definately important. Real friends are always there for each other. If someone needs someone to talk to then they can always count on their friends to listen. Being someones friend isn't just having somebody to talk to when there's no one else, its trusting someone and always being there for that person when they're sad or alone. Everyone needs friends.
A couple weeks ago, my friend and I got into an argument. It was over something stupid that we shouldn't have even been arguing about, but it was really bad and we were super mad at each other. We said awful things that we didn't mean, but eventually, we resolved the argument. It took a few days but I was really sad and other people that usually didn't even talk to me were asking me if I was okay. The point is that I had more friends then I even thought I had. Friendship is a really special thing and and it means a lot to have friends.
I like the way you did your blog. I also think it doesn't have a definition. But I disagree on that everyone needs friends. Other than that great job.
DeleteA friend is someone who knows all of your stories and is in them too. To me a true friendship is someone who has been there since the beginning and will be until the end. To me friendship is someone who is there for you and who loves you. Friend ship to me is when you can trust some on enough that you can tell them anything. You could tell them that the world is going to end and they won’t tell any one. Friend ship should be based a round one simple thing called trust. In my life there are many different times that a friend was important. The one time that I had a really good friend he had just moved here. He had no friends so I was being nice and be friended him were best friend and he had always wanted to hang out. He had finally come to one of my party’s and he met with one of my other friends. The boy began to betray me and started to hang out with him more and more until he stopped hanging out with me. People thought that this person was every thing to me.
ReplyDeleteBut this person was just a bump in the road. He ditched me for one of the friend’s that I had introduced to him and I thought that this kid was just a glitch until he wanted to be friends with me again be cause he finally realized what he was missing people should realize that you should be happy for what you have and do not throw away the best thing that you have.
