*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
"Walking in the dark with a friends is better thank walking in the light alone," These are the word of friendship said by Hellen Keller. Friendship is one of the main components in life. After all we go through life meeting people it's only natural for us to make friends. Then sometimes when we got rhough life we get confused and someitmes make the wrong friends and find fake friends or get betrayed. In this haze of confusion how are we suppose to know what true friendship is? Personally, I believe friendship is based off of many different things.Such as being able to be yourself around on another and understanding one another.Another thing that makes up true friendship is being there for one another weather it's making each other laugh or just being there when your friend is a mess. That's what I believe true friendship is. Even the search for true friendship is long and complicated firends are important.This is because if you don't have friends you are missing out on memories and good times. You won't have anyone to catch you when you fall. You dont have someone to laugh with and cry with you are missing out on a amazing connection.Once I was extremely depressed. I couldn't count on my family because they simpliy didn't understand and I couldn't go home. I was crying and just going though a lot and I didn't know what to do.The first thing I did was go for my phone and text my friend. He met up with me and hugged me and I just cried and let it all out.Then he helped me by simply talking to me and then he let me sleepover when I had no where else to go and i thank him for that and would happily do the same for him. That night he calmed me down and we fell asleep watching stupid cartoons and eating way to much junk food.This is why I chearish my friends and never want to lose them for the world.
ReplyDeleteGreat job i totally agree you are a good friend and a good person.
DeleteNice post. I completely agree with what you said about friendship, and that was a cool quote in the beginning! and I also agree with Jacob that you're a good friend.
DeleteI think friendship is very important. A true friend is someone who you can trust with anything. Also they will have your back no matter what happens. You caous be in trouble or just be sad but they will always be there for you. Also I think having friends is very important because without them u will always be doing nothing and just be sitting inside. They can also help you through tought times. For example if u get heart or you lose someone they will be there for you. I have this one friend who will have my back no matter what. If someone is messing with me he help me out and take care of them if I need him to. Also I can tell him anything and he won't tell anyone unless I say he can. Next he pushes me to do my best. When I want to give up he says no and helps me do what I want to do. This is what friendship is to me.
ReplyDeleteJason, I agree with your quote 100 percent and I feel the same way. No matter what happens true friends are always there through thick and thin. I think friends are the reason most of us are who we are because our friends taught us and pushed us to do our best.
Deletea true frendship to me is those people that you can act yoursel around and not be shy or wierd around. A true friend is someone who is there for you no matter what the conditions. wiether its two am or two pm no matter then time always there to talk. A friendshipis very important well i think so. its always a nice feeling to know that sopmeone is there for you all the time. Some people dont really care for friends they like to focus on what important. not saying friends arent important but school and family come first. everyone should have friends but not all friends are good. sad to say that alot of people are fake and go behind your back thats not a true friend. Everyone should always have someone to lean on. everyone deserves a true real friend and have a nice friend ship with them.
ReplyDeleteWhat is true friendship? True friendship is having friends that you can always lean on. Someone that will always be there for you, no matter what! It's also, something when you can talk to someone about anything, and they don't judge you. They try to help you in anyway they can.Do you think that having friends is important? I think having friends is important, because when you have friends you have someone that can help you through things. That you might not even be able to talk to your mom or sister about. Friends are important things but I don't think they're as important as family!
ReplyDeleteA time in my life when I realized friends weren't as important was this year going into highschool. A lot of my friends kinda changed. That's when you realize and when I realized the most that friends aren't as important as people make them. This year I stopped doing cheer and all my "friends" stopped talking to me because I stopped cheering. All of then barley talk to me anymore. But just because my friends don't talk to me anymore, doesn't mean I'm gonna be unhappy doing cheer.
Very nice, Breonna! You made some very good points. I completely agree with the line that says "Friends are important, but I don't think they're as important as family."
DeleteI think friendship is important because it makes you feel wanted. True friends are there for you when times are tough and when you need someone the most. A real friend can be that shoulder you can lean on and be the person you can tell secreats to. Friends are one of the most important things to have in life because they help make your troubles go away. My best friend in the whole world is Tyler Langan he was always there for me and is the best person to hangout with. Me and Tyler go way back to 2nd grade we used to always play with are stuffed animals in class. We loved to trade pokemon and watching cartoons and cheeckout the girls but we still do that. ME and Tyler always play videogames together and hangout out side like throwing the football and playing bball. But me and Tyler love to go kyaking down ceeder creek and trying to catch the catfish and the eels. Friends help you figure out who you really are and what you were put on this earth to do.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Jacob! I also think true friends are there for you when times are tough.I also agree a friend is someone you can put a shoulder on and a person you can share some secretes with and that they make your problems go away when your around them. Even though i wouldn't go as far as saying having a friend is what you were put on earth to do I would definitely say they help you figure out who you are.
Deletei agree, friends are very important In life, and also friend ship helps figure out the real you and when life gets tough they'll always be there for you and you can trust them with everything!
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.
DeleteI think a true friendship is a friendship where you have a friend you can count on and trust. I also think a true friendship is when you go out and do a lot of things together like Sports movies Video games etc. A true friendship can also be just talking to someone everyday in lunch or anytime of the school day or meeting up with someone at the park every couple of days it is also a friend you can fight with but will make up with the next day. I think a friendship is important. If you didn't have any friends you would be lonely and probably pretty depressed. It would also make you very anti social and probably not very sociable or friendly. A time in my life when friendship was important was when I flipped on my bike when i was in the 3rd grade and I badly cut up my leg and I couldn't walk well so my friend helped me walk all the way back to my house and it was at least a good mile or a mile and a half away. So that is why I think friendship is a very important thing to have and without it the world would be a not fun place.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your statements on the meaning of friendship. Friends that you can count on to be there for you are important. If you have family problems or need support to win a game a friend is always there. I like the statement you made that s true friend likes most of the same things you do. I also agree that a true friend is someone that you make up after a fight. Your example of the friend that helped you after you were hurt was also very good. Like you said friendship is very important in life because it gives us a sense of belonging and fun.
DeleteNice! I agree with your explanation of what true friendship is. True friends will always be there for you no matter what happens. Any situation anytime no matter the consequences. A true friend backs you up no matter what.
DeleteLots of cheesy things are written about friendship, but I think many of them are true. Friends are people you can truly be yourself around and they accept you for exactly who you are. In fact friends can even make you better through example or encouragement. It is great to share laughs with someone who understands what it is like to be young right now and maybe just as confused as you are. Friends also support you and have your back. I think friends make life so much more fun and bright. I remember changing schools in fourth grade and not really knowing anyone. Eventually I found some great friends who made the new school feel like home. They helped during a tough time and I am good friends with them to this day.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this because a true friend accepts you for who yoyu are. Thats what afriendship is they are stong and built with trust. Also its really good to share laughs
DeleteBeing a student in high school, friendship is a major part in my life. Throughout my life I’ve experienced many different people, but some of those people stand out in my life, and those are my friends. Friendship happens daily and it is very important to a living human being. To explain, I believe friendship is important for many reasons. First of all, friendship provides you with something to do with your life, having friends is fun because they can invite you to places, have you over, you can have them over and you can have someone to play sports with, games with or even home work with ;). Also, having friends are also important because you have someone to trust. Most of the time, you cannot tell anyone anything these days, but if you have friends most likely you trust them and you have known them for a long time. You can talk to them about anything and they will give you advice which could make your life easier. Lastly, having friendship with people is a very good advantage in life. If you make enemies all the time things will be harder and complicated, if your friends with everyone you would get invited to more places, go out more and communicate and learn new things from new people. If you are alone all the time you will become depressed and not like your life so go out and communicate and meet new people. To conclude, friendship was important in my life when I get bored. I always have something to do and places to go, if your friends with more people, chances are you will meet there friends and so on.
ReplyDeleteI again that in high school friendship is a big part in your life. Also I agree friendship is very important to a person's life. I also agree friends give you something to do when your bored or want to do something. I also agree you can tell your friends everything.
DeleteWhat is true friendship? True friendship is having a friend whose for ur back and you got there back. Also it's being able to tell your friends anything and they can tell you anything. Also it's them never leaving you out or ignoring you or being a jerk to you a true friend is not any of those things. I think having friends is important because if you didn't have any you would be very lonely and that would probley mean you would get made fun of and that's just not right but when tilt do have friends they help you stock up for you and be there for you so that's a couple reasons why I think that friends are really important to have and if you don't have any make some. An example of when friendship can into my life when was some kids were saying stuff to me and my friends stepped In and they stopped it from happening and made the kids say sorry and it was really nice of them to do that for me. Another example was when miss were fighting and other people that were friends with the kids jumped in and started fighting to to backup there fiends. It was really fun to watch. Thank you all for the appretiation and this one mentioned a lot to me. Thanks people of miss bochinos class
ReplyDeleteyou are welcome, cool stuff you wrote I agree buddy :)
DeleteI totally agree with you! we had very similar comments and we both mentioned that friends should be there to stick up for you and also how a true friend can be honest with you. Another thing that we both mentioned is how friends should never leave someone out or ignore you.
Deletei 100% agree with you. You brought up a lot of very valid points. It is a good response to the question.
DeleteFriendship is very important. They are important because they can assist you in many things in life and school. You can either make bad friendships or good ones, what i mean by bad ones is people that are not good influences and that are bad people. Friends help you make choices in life which can either be good or bad. Friends can also help you with schoolwork and problems that you come across. Friends can also help you get better at things that you struggle in like sports, school, ect...
ReplyDeleteFriends are also people who always got your back no matter what situation you are in. True friends also dont ignore you or turn your back on you. That is a common occurence in friendships that happens to many people. Another things that friends do is hang out with you. You go over eachothers houses or meet up places and do things that you are both interested in or you can try new things too.
Friends also can help you get through tough times like losing a relative, a break up or if you just arent feeling well they will find a way to put a smile on your face. They can do that by telling jokes or funny memories or moments that you shared together.
Another things that friends do is backup eachother in arguments and fights with other people and they can also be honest with you and tell you that you are wrong (in a nice way)
In conclusion true friendship is an accompilation of a lot fo things that you and friends do together to make eachother happy. A friend will always be there for you!
I think Friendship is very important. Especially in the high school. With out friends you have no one to socialize with. And at times you do need them because you may have a bad day. And maybe your friends are the only thing you need. They can help you with stuff or even homework for school. And just to even hang out have a good time. A true friendship is like them being family. The ones that you can count on. Or the ones that are there for you when you need them too. And the ones that can make you smile or laugh when you are upset. And a true friend is when they can talk to you and hear you out no matter what time it is. Or if you're friend is doing something and he stops to listen and give you advice on what you are going through. And when someone in school is messing with you and you're friend backs you up or when you need help with something they help you. And then they don't ask for it in return. One time where in my life's un friendship was important was when I fell in in the 3rd grade. I cut up my knee pretty bad and it hurt to walk. And one of my friends tried to help me but my knee hurt. And other kids saw me but they kept playing. And my friend told me to get up. So. I did but it hurt but I walked it off. And he helped me tell the teacher and he helped me to get to the nurses office. That's what I think was a friendship that was important
ReplyDeleteWhat I think true friendship is that when you have a strong bond and trust with another person. Also what I think true friendship is that when your friend looks out for you and respects decisions that you make. For example, sometimes if someone is being mean to you your friend would tell them to stop acting mean and ask them to stop bothering you. Also another thing that friends do for you is that they would ask you to go on trips together like Six Flags, the Mall, Disney or hanging out at their house. (or babysiting and getting paid. ��) So yes, I do think having friends is important, and that it is a good thing to have friends in your life.��
ReplyDeleteI think having friends is important because they can help you build up your self esteem. Also it is important because that you can make lots of memories together with your buddies. One time in my life where I think friendship was important was when I was sick and I could not go to school but I had a friend who would always cheer me up and want to hang out and would make me feel better.
Another time in my life where friendship was important was when I was in fourth grade and I began to go to the skate park. I had friends there that would help me learn new tricks. They were really nice and it was a really good time when we were hanging out. And another time was when I went to Woodward Camp in Pennsylvania. where i had some of the best times of my life at camp and i met some of the sicksest and nicest people ever! ��
Frienship is very important. Some people dont think that it is important. What i think friendship is, is that you respect one and other. Also that you are nice to each other and not mean and dont make fun of each other. But i do and it is important that you have friends. You can do many thins with your friends that you cant do by yourself. You cant play games by yourself, you need friends to do that with. Like playing sports or any other activity.
ReplyDeleteA time in my life where friendship was important was when i was playing baseball and i wasnt that good and everyone on the team helped me to become better. It helped me become the way i am now. And i am glad that it happened.
I agree Ryan. Frend ship is very important. And nice example using respecting on another. And in mmg opinion I think you are right about it.keep trying on baseball you will become better then you are with practice
DeleteI think friendship is very important. You cant get through life with out true friends, even though its hard to find true fiends. Friends are important because you need people in your life to depend on and have a fun time with. And a shoulder to cry on. And most importantly someone you can be yourself around. That's what friends are for.Someone you can trust and love. A time when i needed my friends was just recently. Recently my dog died. I was very sad and didnt wanna get out of bed. But my friends hung out with me and took me to places wich made me feel so much better. Thats why you need friends and how they are important because when you go through hard things in life they are there to cheer you up

ReplyDeleteWhat is true friendship? True friendship is being there for someone when they need you. When you boil it down that's all friends, family and relationships are for. Being there when one needs another. The need can be little or big, like making you feel important about little things like your day and how you feel. Humans crave communication and being social so we feel important. we want is to feel important like we mean something. We want friends and good friendship so we can feel important and needed. We want to feel this way because we want our existent to mean something, so we're not forgotten when we pass. we all want a great legacy and friends to pass on our stories so we are remembered. Most people feel that they can pass on some knowledge to others on their way out, last words teach the best life lessons.
ReplyDeleteI think friends are important because without them we would be able to choose who remembers us. Friends connect on an emotional level because they get along well, you choose your friends because you like them, their personality and all their traits. It's important to make memories with friends so that many individuals connect on a mental and emotional level because of an experience. I think that with out social conduct with other human make us loss our full potential. I believe that to feel comfortable you must first feel uneasy or nervous that they might like you. I remember multiple times that I have comforted a friend though a hard time, at sometimes I didn't know why they were crying on my shoulder or why they were hugging me but i helped them when they seemed like they needed it.
What is a true friendship? Friendship means so many different things. Friendship means that you aren’t being judged and you are accepted for just the way you are, regardless of your faults. A true friend accepts everything about you. Friends can also forgive each other in times of disagreement and strife. True friends are always there for each other. Understanding of each other. Friends can be of the same gender, or like the same kinds of food, movies and other stuff. It’s always better when you can enjoy things in life when you can enjoy them with someone else too. Friendship can also seem a little overwhelming at times. This could be because friends are afraid to let each other down or disappoint them. It’s OK for friends to like different things and participate in activities without the other person. A true friendship means that each person can stand on their own and be independent of each other. This helps keep the friendship more enjoyable. It’s important for teenagers and adults to have a friendship because everyone needs others from time to time. Having friends is similar to having family. They are people that you can count on in your greatest time of need. They can help you in times of trouble, and be there to enjoy and share in the great parts of your life too. Most people only have 2-3 true friends their entire lives. True friends should never be confused with acquaintances, which are people you are friendly with on almost a daily basis. See if your friend listens to you. If your friend is a true friend, then she/he should take the time to listen to what you have to say. In a true friendship, both people should be sharing their thoughts and getting feedback. If you find that your friend is always talking about his/her problems, but is bored or distracted as soon as it's time for you to share yours, then you may have a false friend on your hands. How your friend reacts when you try to share something. If they nod, maintain eye contact, and support you, then they are a good friend. Communication is key in any relationship, especially a friendship. If you and your friend are on the same page, then you should be open about your thoughts and feelings and maintain a level of honest and open dialogue flake is not a friend. If your friend never seems to do what they say they'll do, leaves you stranded, or forgets about plans you've made, then you have a fake on your hands. Though it's okay to waver occasionally, if your friend never seems to do what they says they'll do, then they don't value your time or company. I think having a true friend could be important because not everyone you meet on the first day of school can be loyal throughout the whole entire school year. I think its very important who people claim.
ReplyDeleteWhat is true friendship? True friendship is something very important for everyone to have. True friendship is always knowing that you have someone to talk to no matter what and having someone that will never judge you no matter how much you may have messed up. True friendship is always having a shoulder to cry on and someone to make a life times worth of memories with. Having a friend is one of the most treasured connectins you can have with someone. For example, since March of 2000, I've been friends with my best friend, Hailey. Hailey and I have had an inseparable bond since we were just babies. Our parents were best friends in school which atomatically made us best friends since birth. For 15 years now, Hailey and I have stuck by each other's side and I've loved every second of it. She's always been there for me when I was at my lowest. When we were very young, we would watch "The Wiard of Oz" over and over and over until the actors didn't even have to finsih their sentences because we would finish ther lines for them. In the fall of last year, Hailey and I rode our bikes to Manhatten Bagel a few miles away from my house. Then, we went to goodwill and shopped around for a while. Although we didn't do anything extravagant that day, we had the most amazing time together and I will never foget it. The days I spend with Hailey are days I'm never going to forget. True friendship is having someone to alwasy count on to be by your side through every step of the way. That's what Hailey is to me.
