Friendship is very important no matter who you are. Friends are the kind of people you can lean on when things get bad. They are the people who you can have fun with and laugh with. They are usually the people that you can say anything to if you need help or just someone to talk to.Also you should be willing to do the same for your friends , and share the good and bad and enjoy being around them. Friends in my opinion are like family , and if you don't have friends then what? Like who will be the people other than your family ,that will be around you that are close to your age that you can hangout and have fun with? Having friends is important because they are the kind of people you can have a bond with and just spend time with and people you can trust no matter what. Many times in my life friends have been very important to me. Like when one day when I was younger ,like about ten my parents got into a very bad argument. So I left my house and walked over to the park that was about 7 blocks away and some of my friends were there and they cheered me up and I felt better afterward and I eventually went home and things got better. Overall, friends are very important no matter what.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your statement. Friends are like family. Especially when they stay by your side when the going gets rough. A true friendship is someone that you can trust with anything you tell them or at least you can tell them anything and they will listen.
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.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with this statement. Friends are always important. If i was to rate this from 1-10 i would give you a 10.
DeleteI agree with your statement one hundred percent. Friendship is exactly what you explained in your response. You have to rely on them in order for it to be true friendship.
DeleteFriendship is always very important. They always have your back no matter what. When you are in trouble who do you call. Your friends always. Who do you ask to go to a Major League game . Your friend also, your best friend. Your best friend is the friend you always rely on. Especially when you breakdown a car, need somewhere to go when your alone, or even when your going though a rough time. Friends can always be their for you.I have good friends their very important to me. They always have my back, and i always have theirs. Having Friends are like having a second family their very important to me and they should be for you as well. They have gotten me through a lot especially when my great grandmother passed they were a great help even my whole hockey team came to support me in my time of need. They are really important i couldnt imagine my life without my friends. I hear people often say that you can’t rely on anyone but yourself. I do agree that certain things are solely for the self, and being alone isn’t necessarily a negative. There are periods in our lives when being alone is needed in order for personal growth. There are times when we just have to focus on ourselves, learn to enjoy our own company and learn to love ourselves. However, if you find yourself becoming a loner, with very little friends as your support group, this is when it becomes alarming. In reality, no one wants to be alone, at least not forever. When you surround yourself with a group of individuals you can call your friends and individuals you can rely on, it’s as if you have both a team and a support system that’s in it for you for the long haul. Spending time with your friends, you will learn your likes, dislikes, how you deal with situations, etc. You will slowly better understand yourself and the people you connect with best.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with what you are saying friends are always there for you. I also like how you said they're like your second family, cause i feel the same why with my friend you both love and hate them just like your family. I also agree with how you said sometimes people want to be alone but not forever. I find that statement very true
Deletei agree with your blog about how friends are there to ack you up and be there for you and how they can connect to you like family, nice blog!
DeleteFriendship to me is one of the most important things in life. To me true friendship isn't about who has know you the longest and who knows the most about you, it's who will be there for you no matter what and won't care about how others view you. And it's also simply having fun and laugh all the time. To me having friendships are very important. Friendship let you vent out anything you want to someone and them not judging you just helping you and it helps you lift weights off your shoulder. They give you advice through tough decisions or stupid ones. Without it our world would be lonely and sad. Also, it helps you with boredom. You can meet with a friend or just pull out at phone and text them. Also friendship I feel should be valued cause now we think that our friends at this age are the friends we will have for the rest of our lives. But the truth is after high school everyone goes there separate ways and she we are older we will probably only know like five people.
ReplyDeleteAbout a year and a half ago my grandma passed away. I remember the day I found out. I was with my cousin and I can still picture me and her crying our eyes out it was really tough and I remember when I went back to school I was still depressed especially cause I felt like I didn't see her enough and I didn't get to say goodbye. I didn't want to do any of my work or talk about it, but my friends sat me down and helped e though it cause they didn't want to see me fail and be sad. I realized how important friendship was at that point and I am very great fun for the friends I have now.
I agree with your response! I agree that true friendship is about who will be there for you no matter what. I think that is a really important thing about friendship because real friends will stick up for you and will always help you through your problems. That is very true!
DeleteTrue friendship is always having someone's back. Even if they screw up you will be there to pick them back up. Hopefully they will do the same for you. It is very important to have a true friend or else you would be very sad and lonely. A true friend is there to fix that and make you happy. They make sure you always have a smile on your face even when times seem toughest. They will do their absolute best to get you out of tough situations (like when Rachel texts to remind you you have a blog and makes sure you do it so you don't get a zero). And you yourself also has to keep up your end of the deal and prove that you want to be a great friend. I think true friendship is extremely important. It will always be worth it in the end. They can help and support you through the tough times.
ReplyDeleteOne example of true friendship that has occurred in my life is when my cousin passed away about a week or so ago. My friend came over as soon as she heard the news and we talked about it because she knew he was very close to me. I did the same for her when her parents divorced and I still help her babysit her siblings. So my this person is definitely a true friend to me as I am to her.
I agree with you. I liked how you said having somebodies back. That is so true and I would've posted that in mine but I was not thinking like that. I am sad to hear that your cousin died and I am happy that your friends are there for you when times get tough.
DeleteI'll tell you what true friendship is. True friendship is when you have a person that is always there for you no matter what. They help you through the hardest of times in your life so you can move on. True friendship is when you are always on their side through thick and thin. Also, Its when you have someone that makes you laugh and keeps you company and i don't know where we would be without it. Yes i think having friends is really important. Literally we would be nothing without them. Nothing to really smile about, nothing to care for, and most importantly no life.
ReplyDeleteAn example of true friendship that happened in my life happened a year or two ago. I realized that she was the best person i could ever have as a friend. She helped me through a lot of problems that i was going through. About a year ago I had the worst day of my life thinking that everyone hated me and that i was no good. She texted me and asked what was wrong and i told her. we were up passed midnight talking and her helping with her soft and nice words making me feel better every minute. So If i had to say what a true friendship was i think that I would be as good as gold with my best friend.
I completely agree that friends are always with you thick and thin. It's completely true. And I'm glad you have a friend that helps you through tough times. And her commitment is impeccable if she is up almost all night making you feel better. I'm also glad your much better.
Deletetrue friendship to me is always being there for your friend. no matter what they might be going through. true friendship is also always having there back. I do think is friendship is important. I think it is important because its it like a brother or sister you never had. you have the best times of your life with your friends. when I first started surfing I would surf with my brother and after a couple years went by he ended up being to busy because of work and he started raising a family. once he started to not surf as much I started surfing with friend Jake.. after surfing with him and hanging out with him all the time he became my best friend. without him I'm not sure if I would surf as much as I do now. we also met a lot of friends through surfing. all my surfer friends and I all love each other because we share a common bond. without my friends I defiantly would not be who I am today. it is always cool to know if you're upset about something you can have a friend to hangout with and take your mind off what ever is bothering you. without my friends life would just be boring. I wouldn't know what I would do with myself without my friends. they always give me something to do. it is also important to know who your true friends are. you have to know who can really trust. true friendship is defiantly something that you need to earn. I have a lot of close friends but my friend jake with always be my best friend. we always rely on each other with stuff and I trust him with my life. that's what true friendship is to me.
ReplyDeleteI agree your friends should be like family to you. you should be able to trust them. they should always have your back regardless. sometimes you need some fun in your life nobody wants to be alone and bored all the time.
DeleteFriendship is a tremendous thing to have in life. The definition of friendship is the state of trust between two people. In my mind the definition of friendship is having somebody that is nice to you and you are nice to them and you talk a lot. I think this is the definition because that’s the first thing that comes to mind. A true friendship is being able to rely on the person to point you in the direction. Also having a lot of fun and laughing a lot with them. You could go on another note and tell them secrets but form me that’s not the case. I think having friendships is extremely important for many reasons. One reason being that you could have something to do and hangout with them and have a great time. But friends are not for everyone. Honestly I think they should be, because they guide you in directions that are good and they can make you feel happy if you are sad or down.
ReplyDeleteThere was a time in my life when I needed a friend. This was when I was a little bit younger maybe 4th grade. I had this friend his name was Jeff, we used to hangout all of the time. You can call us best friends. Then I found out he was going to be moving. I had just moved there so I was new and he was the only kid I knew. Then the day finally came and he moved. Then I was really sad and did nothing for like a week or so. Just watched T.V and texted him on his way out to California. Then one day a kid nicknamed Tasso moved in. We talked once or twice and he came from New York. He could not ride a bike so I was teaching him. More kids moved into the neighborhood or age and now we have a squad. Hangout with them almost everyday. The point is was I moved on and now I talk to Jeff sometimes on Xbox. Tasso came in clutch when I was really sad.
I agree with you sean. 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.
DeleteA true friend to me is a friend that is always there for you and will like you for who you are. A friend is a person who is there for you. For example, Say that a boy is upset because someone is bullying him and his friend walks past, a true friend would stop and ask what is wrong or who did this. When friends see that their friend is upset or something is affecting them, they would have their friends back and stop and take to them. If the friend pasts you and doesn’t have your back then they aren’t your true friend, or even just a regular friend. Even the little things show that you have a true fan such as , helping your friend in a fight, defend him when someone is picking on them, and them giving up their time to help you out even though they don’t need to. A true friend would like you for who you are. People that aren’t your friend would criticize or make fun of how you act. Having friends to me is very important. This is because without friends, you would have no one to talk to, play with, laugh with, or even make memories with. Friends bring people together also. Without friends everyone would hate each other.
ReplyDeleteIn my life I Have thought that friendship was important. I used to have to move to different places so I had to go to different schools. I have realized that if you don’t have friends in school or in general, it’s very lonely. It would be weird going to school every day not talking to anyone because I am not their friend. Having friends make you feel more welcome especially if you move a lot like I used to.
That is what I think true friendship is and why I think it is important to have friendships. Also that is an example from a time in my life when I thought friendship was important.
I completely agree with you Ryan! I do believe if someone is picking on your friends you should have there back. And I thought your example on moving around a lot was spot on in showing what showing true friendship really means. You really did do a great job explaining this to me thanks for your incite!
DeleteWhat is true friendship? True friendship is having someone who will always be there. A person who knows you like the back of his/her hand. A person who won’t betray you or stab you in the back. That is what true friendship is. Having friends is one hundred percent important. If something tragic happens and you and you want to be left alone, a true friend will understand that. Sure they’ll try to try something to make you feel better, but that makes them an even better friend. Also, if you need money or something, I’m sure that friend will help you pay it off if you really need it. They will most likely pay you back in the future or do something worth more to pay it off. So, having friends truly is important.
ReplyDeleteOne time, when I was in sixth grade, I had a tragic event come up in my lifetime that still leaves a scar in my mind. It was the day I found out my aunt had passed on. It was a really sad week for me and the next day I came into school, I felt miserable. I didn’t know what to do. That was when my friends came in and tried to help me out. They tried giving me confidence boosts and telling me that it will get better. They also tried telling me funny things that would get me to calm down. Then all of my classmates found out what was wrong and started to help me out too. Then the whole school got involved and about a week later, I was back to normal. That is why friendship is truly important.
Friendship is very important to have in life. True friendship is someone that you could always count on, no matter what happens. They are those who you are still close to even when they did something bad. You could talk to them about anything and trust them because that's what a true friendship is all about, trust! They are always there for you if your feeling upset and depressed. They will always help you with struggles in life and they would never want to lose you.
ReplyDeleteFriendship is important because you have people that you can hang out with and enjoy yourself with them. When your alone, you could feel lonely and bored because you dot't have anyone to hang with, but when you make friends, it makes life a lot more funner and less boring. Its also important because you have someone that could support and help you. If your feeling sad, they will try to talk to you and make you feel as comfortable as possible. They love and care about you so much that they would want to leave you. I once realized that friendship is important. A few years ago I was quiet and shy, I didn't have a lot of friends to hand out with but then I started to feel confident about myself. Then I started talking to people and they became my friend! So in all, friendship is the key to having a great and fun successful life!
Friends are probably one of the most important things in life. Friendship means more then just hanging out with someone. It means through thick and thin no matter what you have your friends back even if they don’t have yours. Friendship comes with many problems that you have to overcome to become true friends. Friendship is extremely important. It is the thing that most people hang on to when things go bad. When you’re in a fight with your family or with someone in school friendship means you have someone to help you get through it. If a person is your true friend that is. But friendship Is truly important because friends are a escape from your problems. Even for adults, friends can be the fun that these overstressed workers need. So if you don’t have a friends who really get and help you it is important to find some.
ReplyDeleteOne time a close friend of mine really helped me through rough times. Right when my parents divorced I was a bit disheveled but later on my dad started dating and his girlfriend had a daughter. This girl really helped me through all of my problems. Even though we are stuck together she really is a great friend. I never seem to get sick of her, and even though we occasionally fight she is always there for me when I need her. So yeah friendship is pretty important to me. But I wouldn’t say its always helpful. I also tend to get in a lot of fights with these friends of mine. The littlest things tend to tick me off like when I’m not invited places that everyone’s at. Now sometimes my reasons are dumb like not bringing me to the movies when there was yet no seats left. But even though there are these fights they are over turned by all the good the friends in my life do.
a true friend to me is someone you can trust someone who has you back no matter what will always be there for you through the rough times. A TRUE friend will tell you the truth no matter how bad the situation is and motivate you to do better. If your friend is a true friend they will never steer you wrong or make that mistake again they should be a positive influence to you. i think friends are important because I mean who wants to be alone? imagine going through a heartbreak or a tragedy with no one by your side to wipe the tears away and cheer you up. I know i wouldn't be able to do it. I'm not saying go get a bunch of friends you should always choose your friends wisely yeah it be all laughs until one of you guys have a situation and they leave you hanging that right there is not a true friend. I feel as if your a true friend to me you should never turn your back on me. like i said before choose your friends wisely because there's a lot of nasty people out there only want to be your friend because of the way you look,dress,or even how much money you have and that's not right.
