To me friendship is everything. I think you would want to have a friend near your side. You would want someone to talk to and just be there for you. I do have friends at this school. I have acquaintances, friends, and best friends. I do have friends I don't talk to that live around my way and sometimes I do wish that I talk to them more often. Friends to me are loyal and trustworthy. They are a helping hand. They are kind intelligent and bright in their own ways. I don't think your friend has to be exactly like you, I think that's what makes them special. My friends are nothing like me. I don't want my friends to like everything I like or do everything I do. I want them to be them. They don't have to show off in front of me ....... they can just be themselves. I do like having friends. I'm the kind of person whose sort of a social butterfly. I LOVE to talk and I like hanging out with my friends. I think everyone needs a friend. You don't need thousands of them ..... just a few. You just can't go around and be alone your whole life. You would want someone to just talk to and be yourself around. I have a lot of friends. I have some friends who I've none since I was in the kindergarten. They been there through thick and thin and I think they could say the same about me.
