Friendship As A Small Group Of Friends

During my high school career I was able to make lots of friendships, but had few close friendships. I was unable to have a large amount of girlfriends, because I did not feel a good connection with them. Instead, I hung out with a group of guys and had two girlfriends who had similar life stories. When I was sixteen I started working and that was something I enjoyed doing to make money. Once high school was over I felt like I had so much to look forward to. When college came around I didn’t see the same people every day and had to make new friends here at Anderson. This was challenging for me, because the dorms are full of females which was something that I have not been used to.

Today I am talking about how my best friend and I met. My best friend’s name is Sydney Rott. The story of how we met is a cliché but I am going to explain it anyway. We didn't know each other up until my Sophomore year and her Junior year. I decided I wanted to go out for the tennis team, even though I have never really played before, I still decided to join. Sydney was the number one player for the Harrisburg Tennis Team. I thought that she was a brat when I first met her, but as time went on I started to like her.

I didn't see her at all for weeks until one day I was in the main town of our area, a few miles away from our own town. She was just finishing loading her shopping into her car when by chance I walked past her. We had our usual small talk about my family, college and the local football team I played for.

My friends are a very big part of my life because they support and encourage me for everything I do. I used to be very quiet and unsocial. I had very few friends and didn’t like making new friends. I would just stay with the same group of friends every year, but slowly my friends were making new friends and no longer talking to me as much. As I grew older, I realized the importance of friendship and what being friendless can feel like.I felt like an outcast, so I started reaching out to more people. After joining band, I gained a lot of new friends who used to just be acquaintances. Since then, my friends have been a very good influence on me. They are very caring and help me with every obstacle I encounter. My friends are people who I can confide in; people who I am comfortable talking to. They accept me for who I am and never judge me. I would never ruin any friendship with my friends because they are too important to me. They have always been there for me and are very important people in life

When I first entered school and had to start making friends, I tried very hard but always seemed to had issues socializing. Somehow, I ended up being the target of bullies all the time as a kid, with few friends who always stuck around. As I moved around the first few times between towns in Upstate New York, this kept happening. It seemed I just didn’t know how to make good friends, or at least not many. But, this all ended when I moved out to California halfway through Middle School. I made a few very good friends after I came to Larchmont, and they helped me open myself up to more people. I made more friends than I ever had in my life, and began to spend time outside of school socializing— something I’d never done before. Through all of this change, my closest friends were still the same type of people I’d always sought out my entire life; it had always been more creative type people. Whether they focused their creative efforts towards games, art, writing or music, that was always the main thing that connected my closest friends to me. Also, despite my more extroverted approach now, I still do prefer a quiet setting with less people (or even no one) to one that is busy at the end of the

Have you ever met someone for the first time, and felt like you knew them since you were born? That is how I felt about my best friend Dede. We both live on E84, on the same floor but never met each other until our Evangelism class last semester. She was friends with a girl that I had met previously but had not seen in a while. She then introduced me to Dede, we talked for a while, and exchanged numbers. I left the religious hall and began to walk back to my dorm. Suddenly, I heard Dede screaming my name so I turned around, there she was bent over trying to catch her breath. We then began to walk together and talk about our experiences at Liberty University. We walked back to the dorm together, and that is how our friendship started.

When I was a freshman in high school I had a large group of friends. I live in a small town so the way spent our Friday and Saturday nights was either at school sporting events, the movies, bowling, or something of that sort. I also had a clique. When it was volleyball season I spent a majority of my time with the volleyball girls, especially the ones in my grade. We spent time together at practice, team dinners, and many other events. In the spring when it was soccer season my clique changed. I spent most of my time with the soccer girls because I was seeing them everyday. I also had a clique of just my girl friends. I typically did not see them much during the fall and spring season because of sport related events. After high school my cliques changed again. All of my close friends went to different colleges. So now my clique consists of my sorority sisters and my

Ever since I was a child, I was always a little sheltered from the outside world. So, as you can imagine I did not have that many friends. I have always been a quiet person, I usually just keep to myself most of the time. Once, I started high school that is when I started to make friends, this was pretty important to me. Before I had friends, I basically thought that everyone was the same, I was so wrong. I met so many great people, they changed me so much, I went from staying home alone and reading all day to, hanging out with so many different people and going to many social events.

To begin, I met Oniqa about 5 years ago during my freshman year of high school. It was our first class of Physical Education in the gym playing volleyball. After some instructions from our teacher broke the class up into partners, and surprise my partner was Oniqa. Both of us were extremely shy, quiet, and didn’t talk much during the 45 minutes we spent hitting a ball back and forth. Luckily our friendship didn’t with second period PE. With time we became good friends. In reality, the first day we met wasn’t the start to the typical friendship. Looking back, we were an unlikely pairing that without realizing it had many similarities and experiences. Despite our somewhat awkward first encounter, the following years spent getting to know each other better I learned she was a lot more than a shy girl in my PE class.

I honestly never thought we’d be friends. We were complete opposites. She’s outgoing, crazy, and doesn’t care what anybody thinks of her. I’m shy, quiet, and super self-conscious. We are alike, only in thoughts. We both love poetry. We express ourselves in the same way. We struggle

There is a in my lunch period, her name is Megan, she was probably the nicest person in the school. One day she saw a girl who just moved here sitting alone, in a split second Megan got her lunch and sat by this lonely girl. Megan and this girl (I'll call her Raymi) hung out for the whole lunch period. Eventually this became daily, then Megan introduced Raymi to all her other friends. Megan and Raymi now have a friendship. Megan was being kind and helped Raymi find other friends, that's "friendship".

Being in middle school it was hard to keep friends as most would come and go caused by unexpected series of events. Most of the time, girls would always talk bad about each other or treat each other like the other doesn’t have feelings. I was the girl who would always be treated like I wasn’t important to a group or clique, and I wasn’t the only one. Id see my “friends” talk down to another girl within my so called group of friends and it wasn’t a nice situation. One day, she stood up for herself and removed herself from the group as what I should've done also. She sat by herself for a couple days after at lunch which led me to sit with her the next following half year of school we had left. It was awkward at first but as we talked more about

For as long as I can remember I’ve had the same group of friends, but coming into high school I met a lot of new people. I met some of my best friends here and my boyfriend.I’ve reached out to a lot of different people I didn’t really expect to be friends with. I learned that you really can’t judge a book by a cover and that probably sounds cliche, but some of the people I thought I’d never get along with became some of my really good friends.

I knew that unfamiliarity was bound to exist, so I set out to contact her first via email to break the ice. The outcome was terrific, because it enabled us to escape the preliminary stages of awkwardness and move right into what’s at stake when we finally met in

Our bond became strong we started hanging out with each other more;within 5 months of hanging out we began going to my house. I got her snacks or even sodas every time I had money. After going through our first official “fight” people began saying she was talking about me behind my back. I shook it off because my inner thoughts were thinking
