*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
What I think true friend is a friend whose there no matter what they go through. To me a true friends are like brothers or sisters to them. Having a true friend isn't to me knowing them for a long time, to me its being able to connect with them like you would with your family. Having a true friend is also like a friend that even if you guys fight and hate each other you guys make up and forgive. I think its important to have friends because having friends is how you create even more memories. Having friends can help kids talk to them if they trust them. I have a friend who I consider a sister to me. She was upset because of what happen to her. I talk to her and she wouldn't tell me what was bothering her. Once I figured it out why she was upset i talked to her. She felt terrible. I'm her friend. If people in the world never had friends they might not talk to there parents cause they don't feel comfortable as they would with their friends. I think friendship is important no matter what. That's just who i am.
ReplyDeleteI agree with ish cause a real friend will stick by your side. They wont act all cool and ditch you for someone else .Me and ish are friends we never split up or put one another down and we tell jokes to each other. that's why I agree with ish.
DeleteI agree with Ish because real friends stay real, they will always be on your side no matter the circumstance. Friends won't act different in front of other people because if they do then they are two-faced and you really don't need them in your life. A real friend would defend you in an argument too instead of standing around spectating and being a bystander. In other words, a real friend will be stuck to your side like glue, will be as loyal as a puppy and as defendant as a guard dog. That is why I agree with Ish.
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 agree with Alvin. I agree with him because Alvin is right, a true friend would stop and see if you are okay. And he is right when he says that true friends are there for you. Also he is right when he says that if you don't have friends its very lonely. Without friends your left alone and sad. everyone should have at least someone to be there for them.
DeleteTrue friendship is when someone accepts you for who you are and doesn't judge you and who's there for you through thick and thin. Having friends is an important part of life, you can't just go through life without anyone. If you had no one you'd feel lonely all the time. As if you were isolated from everyone. Having friends is more than just being able to talk to them. It's about having a good time with them, having them to help you through the rough time, or just being able to talk about stuff that you need to get off your chest. Having friends makes you happy because then it's like you're not alone in the world. You get to make memories with them, whether its the best time of your life with them or making it through the worst while they are next to you the whole way. A true friend is always there for you even when the going gets rough. Everyone at some point realizes who their true and fake friends are, even me. Everyone goes around saying how friendship is so important to them, I am one of them. Some of my friends get picked on and I stand up for them. If I get picked on they stand up for me also. That's what friends are for, to be there for each other. Without them I'd be a puddle of nothing. I was depressed and I couldn't lift myself out on my own. They helped me when others couldn't, when I couldn't. Whenever I need someone to talk to I know they're there for me. Friendship is the most important thing to me in the world, without them I have no clue where I would be standing today.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sam the whole way. Friends are important and could help you more than you can ever imagine. Same with me if I didn't have friends I don't know were I would be today. Having friends is probably the best thing to get through things. I agree with Sam and believe what she is saying is very true.
DeleteI have an experienced a true friendship with a lot of people. I think a true friend friendship is when someone stands by your side even if they think that it is a bad idea or they disagree. That’s what makes a person a true friend because they want to support you for what you want even if it is not what they think they would do. Also I think that a true friendship is when you can joke with someone and just go with and you guys don’t get mad at each other it’s the best. The more people that you meet like this and you can connect with the happier of a person you will be.
ReplyDeleteI never had a time in my life were I thought a friendship was important because they were always important to me because my friends are always there for m e when I need them. I couldn’t tell you how many times friends have made my day because sometimes friends are the best way to deal with the world. They are people would don’t care how poor or rich you are or what you wear they like you for what makes you and they will be there until the end. Not all people are like that though but as you get older you’ll see people who are true friends because they will be the most helpful people in the hardest time. For example my friend Sam I’ve known Sam since the start of 7th grade, it feels like that I’ve known her forever, she has always been there for me and there’s been times when we would argue but we would get over it because we wouldn’t let some little disagreement destroy what we had as a friendship.
Your right, friendship is an important thing. They're always there for you and of course your gonna fight its human but we all get over it at some point and stick together. True friends dont care about your appearance only what's on the inside. Your absolutely right about that. Thats also a very good example, I wonder who that could be, she sounds like an amazing person
DeleteWhat I think true friendship is that you always have there back and they always has yours in times of help. For a example, if your grandmother pasted away a true friend would comfort and help there friend get over. But a non-true friend would just ignore them and could care less about their own friends feelings. I have a few true friends because they are hard to “find”. Not all your friends are true friends. If they ask you for a lot and you ask them for one thing and they say no but you help them out on so many things then they’re are defiantly not true friend. I think it is very important to have friends. The reason why it is so important is because you cant do everything and get over things by yourself. And your parents wont be with you forever. You need friends for also having fun with life and not being bored. There are many things that is also important like to having friend for a example you always need someone to have a shoulder to cry on and someone to give you advice. I can say about 10% of my friends are true friends and wont snitch on me or be a jerk to me. If you have a friend that you think that’s a true friend make sure they never flake on you to hang out with someone else unless family or already planned. I can hopefully say that 95% of people who are reading this has at least 1 true friend even if its your old childhood friend or someone you just met. If there helpful and trustworthy you could call them a true friend. So that’s what a true friend is.
ReplyDeleteI think that a true friend is someone that is always there for you, in good or bad times. I have a few good friends that are always there for me and they feel like close siblings. I think that having a friend is really important because if you get made fun of or need help, your friends will be there to help you out. For example, many of my true friends I just met like Keon and Jess. We all enjoy the same things and we all care for each other. One example of a time when I thought friendship was important was when my cat Smokey passed away. I was really depressed and my friends helped me out. They knew what I was going through and they helped me get over it. If they weren’t my true friend they would probably ignore me or not help me. Another example is when my one friend was really sad over something, I didn’t care what I was doing before because the main thing I wanted to do was to make her feel better. If she didn’t feel better than I would feel really bad because I couldn’t make her feel better. I think that everyone needs a true friend. A true friend will always be there and never lie or tell someone fake rumors about you. You also stick up for each other and through all the things that happen in your life, a true friend will always be right there besides you. This is what I think a true friend is.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about this question. A true friend would some one that stays with you through good and bad times. If you had none you would probably have bin insane by now because you had no one go with you through bad times.
DeleteWhat is true friendship? True friendship is when you can trust a person and you're comfortable talking to that friend about anything. Also when you know that that person would never hurt you in any way and you'll both always be there for eachother. Both the people wheather it is a guy and a girl, a guy and a guy, or a girl and a girl they should alway be able to stick up for eachother and always be friends. When you're in a true friend ship even if you guys get into a fight you should always still be friends.
ReplyDeleteYes i think that having friends is important. It is important because without friends you would be bored all the time and you wouldnt know what to do. They help you through things that you think you wont get over and they are there when they need you. Also when you're older you'll be able to meet more people from your friends. If you have no friends lfe would just be boring a dull. I think that at least everyone has friends and if they dont i think its messed up that somebody wont go and talk to that person. 191 When you have friends it makes you more happy 200 and it makes you feel like you actually mean something to somebody. Im not saying you dont mean anything to your family but your family isnt there with you at school to help you. When you're at school there are other students who help eachother because they're friends. You dont have to be friends with everybody but even if you're not friends with somebody that isnt a excuse to be mean to somebody. Lots of peopele who dont have friends get bullied because they are a "loser".
I agree with you Megan. I have a few true friends of my own that I can tell anything too. And having friends means you will be out hanging with them a lot.
DeleteI agree with Megan and Alexis because it's really important to be able to have a friend that you can always hang out with and be with. It's also important to have someone that you can always tell everything to.
DeleteI agree with the statement you made about true friendship. I also like how you describe what true friends do for each other. And I also like the sayings you wrote about how true friendship is, like how you said '' you can trust a person and you're comfortable talking to that friend about anything. Also when you know that that person would never hurt you in any way and you'll both always be there for each other.'' Anyway I agree and like your comment about true friendship.

DeleteI think true friendship is being real. If you are real and they don’t like you it’s not friendship. Some people like me, some don’t, but the people who do know I’m real and I will always be honest no matter what. The people who don’t like me, I don’t really care. I think having friends is very important. Having friends is super cool because it gives you somebody to lean on. Also having friends is like always knowing the ground is under you. They are always there when you fall it could be cement but it could be grass when they are there for you.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because having friends are cool. That's how you know that no matter what you guys go through it will be okay. Also having friends is cool because it is like having a ground under you because wherever you go they'll be there physical and mentally.
DeleteThis quote " the language of friendship is not words but meanings" by Henry David Thoreau" has a good meaning. I think this quote means that a friendship has to have more than just words, like you need to have a meaning for everything, you can't just have a word one say for the person you need a meaning why you're their friend. I think it's very important to have a true friendship for many reasons. One reason is that you always need that one person for when you're sad. You need that one person when you're upset and you have no one to talk to. It's important to have a friendship with someone that will always make you laugh and keep a smile on your face all the time. A time in my life when friendship was important was when my great grandma died I was very upset so I needed someone by my sad to keep my laughing and happy. If someone can keep you laughing through a dark time it's a true friendship. Once she was by my side she kept me laughing and I stopped thinking about my great grandma and I was getting better. Its very important to have a true friendship with someone who always makes you happy. Or the other way around, when my best friends Grandma died she was very upset so I was always there for her, I always tried to make her happy and make her laugh. We always have the best times when we are together and I'm glad I have a true friendship with someone who will always be there for me. So overall I think it is very important to have a true friendship with someone.
ReplyDeleteTrue friendship is having someone that helps you with everything. I think true friendship is having someone that tells you, you look bad and not even scared to tell you. Also true friendship is being so close to someone that when you don't hang out with them as much you're still super close with them. Having friends i think is very important. Having friends is important because friends help you when you need them. If its problems your other friends they have your back, if its problems with your parents they will help cheer you up. Also having friends is important because having friends is one of the biggest things of life. Friends help you through everything.
ReplyDeleteAn example of why having friends is important is one day i wasn't having a good day. I was all sad i didn't really want to talk to anyone, and nothing was making me feel better. The day was just horrible. But then i went to lunch and my friend molly could tell i wasnt doing too good. She kept asking me what was wrong over and over again but i just didn't talk. But molly doesnt like when i dont tell her reasons of somethings. So to make me happy she tried getting me to dance. In the middle of the lunch room. She made me smile for the first time that day. She was so embarrassing i couldn't help but laugh, and then my day wasnt that bad. My friendship with molly made my day better. Friends make you laugh and smile in your worst times.Thats why having friendship is super important to your life and the others around you.
I agree with carly. because i think real friendship is being honest. i also agree because i think true friends are the people who you are close with and are honest and real with them.
DeleteWhat is true friendship? Well to me true friendship is when you have a friend or friends that are there for you in the good and bad times. Also I think true friendship is when you have a friend where you can be yourself around and they will accept you for who you are no matter what. And true friendship is also when you have people around you that will make you happy and you wouldn’t have to act like another person as well. For example I have friends that will accept me for who I am and they will also make me laugh with the jokes they make, which makes me happy.Therefore I do think having friends is important. I think having friends is very important because when you have friends you have like a helping hand. And what I mean by a helping hand, I mean that they are there for you when you are feeling blue, make you laugh, give you advice on things you may not know, always supportive on the things you do and will always be there for you too.I also think having friends is important because the times you have with your closest friends are the most happiest times you could have in your life and happy memories you will always remember and never forget.And lastly having friends is also important when it comes to chosen with what people you want in your life and this is when your friends will some what come in and help you out because they know who you are and know what's best for you too. Therefore in a time in my life when friendship was important to me will be when deciding who was really my friend and who wasn’t. What I mean by this is I had this friend were I will talk to her , but she would only talk to me when she didn’t had her usual friends around, and she will always tell me she belonged in the bigger crowd, so she was obviously saying she will rather be friends with the “ cool kids” then be hanging around with me, but then I was thinking to myself “ maybe I shouldn't be friends with her because I was like her little assitant, were only she would talk to me when she needed something. Anyway, luckily enough I have 3 friends who will accept me for who I am and wouldn’t be embarrassed to be around with me. Therefore this is what I think true friendship means, how important it is and how it was important in my life.
ReplyDeleteWhat i think friendship is having someone who is there for you no matter what. A friend can be a guy or girl , can be any age as long as they have a positive influence on your life. To me , a friend is more like a brother or sister from an other mother. A true friend should love you occasionally, they should be "real". What i mean by that is that they don't go around telling your secrets and they don't act two-faced around other people. Also, they don't talk trash about you. True friendship isn't one-sided. What i mean by that is one friend isn't doing everything. Like if I buy Ish pizza, the next time he should. But if I'm continuously buying everything that friendship is one sided. What should happen is I buy one time and Ish buys the next and vise versa. True friends will argue. This may sound weird but i don't think you can call somebody your true friend unless you guys have had a fight. Friends fight, it's bound to happen. But if you don't make up either you guys weren't close enough friends or the fight was big enough. One time that friendship was important was when my house had an oil leak. The oil leak caused my family and i to move out of our house on January 28,2014. For 2 months we were at my neighbors house because our house was inhabitable. Then we bought a house in Freehold and I was going to switch to Freehold but then we sold that house and moved to Toms River. Times were hard but my friends were there to make things seem okay. For example, every weekend i was at a different friends house. They tried to make me get out of the house and have a good time so I wouldn't think about what was going on . In fact it worked and made me feel better. We would do things like playing basketball, going to the movies and just going to different places. They say only 4 things are vital to live -Food, Water, Shelter and Air- but after encountering what i'm going through friends are also vital to have a good healthy life
ReplyDeleteWhat I think true friendship means is that you have a friend of your who has your back and makes you feel that you could trust them. One thing that is important in a friendship is you need to make sure that you can trust them. Another thing a good friend would have is your back whenever you need help with something and there for you. Lots of the time in school you think you might be good friends with someone but if you cant trust them or even feel like they are nice to you. If I had to mention one of my friends that I could trust and is a good friend it would be Nick Carlson. I have known Nick for 2 years now and I first met him when I was in middle school. He is a great friend that anyone could ask for and he would always have your back. There are many times in the past where Nick has had my back and I have had his. If there was homework that he forgot, he would ask me and I would have it...sometimes. True Friendship is when someone thinks of you as a good person to be around and to stick around with. Friends have to like for who you are on the inside and not on the outside or what kind of good friend would you be. For Nick, I can trust him because I know what his personality is and the way of how he acts. Although he might be smarter than I am, he is still a good friend to have. True Friendship is liking for what they look like and what they have, but it is the personality that they have and the way of how you treat them and how they treat you.

I completyly agree tooo what you said . what you said was was exactly how I feel
DeleteA true friend is someone that never ever leaves your side. someone that always has you back . someone you can tell anything tooo do . I think its important have friends cause it shows you that you need too grow up a little. It hgelps you notice who is good . plus its always good too know you have someone that cares. no matter what they wouldn't judge you. Like when my grtandma past away I needed a friend too be there for me . and she was and she helped me. she mad me notice that everythiong will be okay . I didn't feel alone at all cause I had her by my side threw it all . that's why I was so happy too have my friends . so yes having a friend is extremely important . maybe not too some people but me yes it is

ReplyDelete1. True friendship is when someone has your back. For example, my friend Jeremy has my back if anything goes wrong. I do the same for him. I think having friends is important because they are there for you if you have a problem. There are there to help you whenever you need help. A true friendship is made of respect for each other. To respect another is like respecting yourself. It is easy to uphold or destroy respect. You need to respect yourself and the other person, and that is what friendship is all about. Friends are important because they are with you through thick and thin. They protect and help when something goes wrong. For example, a friend’s family home was getting foreclosed on, so we helped the move into their new rental house. Another time, I helped load pellets for a pellets stove in the snow with ice all around. My friend Jeremy, who I am proud to call my friend, was getting bullied in his school and having a really tough time. So I kept talking to him and now he is a lot better. He is being home schooled which is a lot better for his self-esteem. I am a friend by keeping in touch with texting, calling, and gaming. In this way, he is not as isolated. A friend can also be a family member. Jeremy’s sister was a lot of help in his problem and she was there for him. True friends are also important when things are going right. It is always more fun to go on vacations, play sports, or play video games with friends. For example, my family used to go to cabins in upstate New York to celebrate 4th of July weekend with a large group of friends.

ReplyDeleteFriendship 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 agree with burr. True friendship is when you can tell anybody anything. You should treat them the same way you want to be treated. They will always help you when you need them.
DeleteFriendship 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.
ReplyDeleteA 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.
