My Best Friend

I attended Mokler Elementary School for Kindergarten until Second grade. In First grade, I met my best friend, Kenneth. I was never really into sports during school, so Kenneth and I usually walked around the playground talking about random stuff. One day we are talking about third grade, the next we are talking about pencils and which

By the time kindergarden started, I was reading and writing all by myself. My mother said that I was so developmentally advanced that I treated kindergarden like social time. I had many friends and continued to include everyone. At this time I was especially close with my neighbor Layne and my other friend Meagan. I was with my neighbor almost every second of every day. We even went to the same in-home day care. My teachers took note of this and always paired us up with shy people so we could break them out of their shell. One of those shy people was my other friend Meagan. My parents were very impressed with all of the respect and kindness I showed at such a young age.

At the end of my first grade year, I moved away from the small, rural town near Vienna where I had lived since I was born. On my first day of school at Lincoln Elementary, I quickly made friends with two girls in my class named Pam and Kelly. Pam and Kelly introduced me to their group of friends that were all in our second grade class. For the rest of the school year, this group of friends was who I played on the playground with everyday and talked to in the classroom. After a great first year of school in Marion, the time came for my third grade year. Every year at Lincoln, there is a day that is close to the beginning of the school year where the students can come to the school to meet their new teacher and look at the class list to see which of their friends is in their class. On that morning, I went to Lincoln to find out who my new teacher was. To my dismay, I found out that all of my friends from second grade had a different teacher than I did. After finding out that I was not in class with any of my friends, I knew that I would have to find a new friend to talk to in my third grade class in addition to having all of my friends from second grade. At the beginning of my third grade year, I hung out with two friends I met named Phyllis and Erin. As the year progressed, I started to hang out with Angela who would soon become one of my best

My first year of high school was a bit of a challenge because I did not know anyone

I do not consider myself to be anybody’s best friend. While I do have many friends that I consider myself to be close with (and I’d like to believe they opposite is true), the school year has just started and many friendships that existed last year may or may not fade away as time passes by. This is because friendships are mainly built on conversations shared daily, whether they be in the classroom or outside on social media. Even if one person is reluctant to hold a conversation, then the bonds of friendship will slowly and steadily break apart due to the lack of sustained interaction on a daily basis. Communication is paramount to ensuring that a relationship is maintained. In my case, I do not believe I interact with anyone on a daily basis enough to be considered “best friends.” Sure, I would consider many people I’m acquainted with good friends, but that is the extent of our friendship. On the other hand, I have several good friends because we have relatively good chemistry. Successful interaction with one another has led to a mutual desire to sustain our friendships.

I'm a loner, I have never had a best friend, but you could call these two people friends of mine. Skyler Robbins and Drake Steinbrock. I try to know little about people, but these two I know a moderate amount about them.

First, my best friends and I grow up together; we are an inseparable group of four girls just like the friends in Madagascar. Each one of us is a character

Growing up I did have a best friend and our group of friends was those that could be described by research. Especially during high school and being a cheerleader, I was considered one of the “athletes,” which was its own overall clique at my high school. Being a part of the overall clique allowed me to be known around my high school by a specific label. Also my grade school friends were definitely important to me as they were my immediate group of friends I always spent time with. Without my grade school friends, I would not have had much of a social life which was important to me as a teenager.

Best friends are the people that will never lie to you, always be there for you, and never leave your side, or so they say. Jose was one of the best best friends I've ever had, he was there for me every time I was upset and was always there to make me laugh and smile. Everything was perfectly fine but then it began to go downhill on the first day of school. “You’ll always be my best friend,” he said, but he lied. “I’ll always be here for you,” they said, until they left. People will always leave even though they promised a hundred times that they won’t, they always will and I had to learn that the hard way.

Having a best friend is like having a second being to share your every movement and emotion with. They are there for you in your saddest and happiest moments. They give you the truest opinions, but will support you no matter what you decide to do. Once you become close enough with a person to call them your best friend, you unconsciously begin having identical likes and dislikes. You become inseparable, spending most of you days either hanging out or whining to them about any bothersome matter that you come across. Those are some of the characteristics of being true close friends. You never want them to be in harms way because you have developed a bond to that individual and realized what an amazing person they are. Trust me when I tell you, I never wanted to see my best friend of four years get hurt but when you are put in a situation like mine, it was bound to happen one way or another. One of the biggest dilemmas I have encountered was deciding what to tell my close friend and what not to for her own good. I would never have thought I would have to choose between my best friend’s trust or her happiness.

More than ⅔ of Americans have lost their best friend my story starts on January 25, 2017 I was in the 7th Grade and I had lost someone very close and important to me, they were my best friend whom I’d talk to on a daily basis at school, at home, and even outside of school we always had found a way to hang out with each other until this day all of that had changed we don’t text, facetime, hangout , or sit with each other anymore , it was all gone we’re not even in the same hallway anymore it’s almost like the saying “ Whatever happens there , stays there “ but in this case it’s “ Whatever happens in 7th Grade stays in 7th Grade.”

Best friend (n) - a person’s closest friend (Dictionary.com). By definition, a best friend could be one’s closest friend, but there is so much more to it than that. Imagine a best friend. They help in the darkest times, but they also laugh at the best times. Often, the greatest time spent together is with this best friend. This best friend knows everything there is to know; what would you do without this best friend? Well, one afternoon, a call comes in. This best friend took their life earlier in the morning. The overwhelming, but hidden, issues they had been facing at home fatally surfaced. It’s a reality now, what really am I going to do without them? Charlie, in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, ponders the same question as he enters high school alone. A void in his life in the wake of his best friend's suicide the year before. If Charlie’s best friend could’ve been honest and talked to Charlie about what he had been dealing with at home, he may still be around. However, Charlie, like time itself, must move forward. He must bravely walk through the halls of his new school and discover new relationships. Stephen Chbosky develops intricate relationships between characters dealing with the hardships of high school in The Perks of Being a Wallflower to reveal that relationships connected by lies fail, but complete truth prevails.

As we grow older, we meet new people and make new friendships. Out of all the people you meet there is always that one friend that you click with the most. That being said a best friend is someone you look out for and care for like sibling. As we grow older we have a perception of growing old and having your best friend by your side, but I came to the realization one morning that it is not true. I found out my childhood best friend past away from a drug overdose.

For many people their best friend may never be a person most times it is an animal of some sort. Almost fourteen years of my life I have had my best friend his name is Drake he is a black lab. The best thing that has ever happened in my life I don’t ever think that I will be able to find another one exactly like him. I had from the time I started school to just before senior year.

Best friends forever, well that 's what I thought. Turns out forever came sooner than expected. I had a best friend who was like a sister to me. We raised, confide our darkest secrets, trusted, and loved each other. I thought with a friendship that close nothing can come between us, not boys, not our parents, not jealousy or little arguments. The thing is, sometimes friendship ends, because people grow apart. It’s better to go separate ways, than to force a friendship for what it’s not anymore.
