The Importance Of Friendship In My Life

Close friends often have a major impact on the choices that people make. A close

Throughout the years I was able to find those types of friends, the ones that would do anything for me, who would go out of their way to make me feel better, and will let me take my anger out on them. My best friend Kendall has shown me how amazing I am by telling me almost everyday, and telling me that I deserve the best. She allows me to be myself, which makes me more confident in who I am. Another one of my friends who is extremely reliable is Devin, he is always there when you need a good rant, and gives other sides of a situation allowing you to evaluate it before you make any decisions. He is also my human punching bag, an example was just the other day. I was having an extremely rough day and he let me take all of my frustration out on him. Literally, he let me punch him straight in the gut, and did not push me to tell him why, but instead allowed me to take the time to recover before asking if I was ok. He is always there for me and is such a reliable person. He inspires me to act this way towards others, and make others believe that I am a very reliable friend, who is able to take others feelings and nurture them. My goal is to be that type of person so having these remarkably reliable friends really influences my attitude and thought process in

Friendships are an important part of everyday life. The vast amount of research focusing on friendship (i.e., Fehr, 1996; Hays, 1984; Argyle & Henderson, 1985) is indicative of just how important friendship is to everyday life. The importance and necessity of friendship is also evident by how these relationships are portrayed on television. Shows such as Friends, Cougartown, Psych, and How I Met Your Mother portray various different kinds of friendship. Shows such as these provide viewers with a unique opportunity to be able to be an observer in these relationships and to see how these relationships form and develop. In some instances, viewers may have the opportunity to watch a friendship begin and blossom throughout the course of a television series.

Friend’s are the people in my life who made me who I am today. They are the people that I can always count on to make me smile, even on my darkest days. When I talk about friends, one name always comes to mind and that’s Sydney. I met Sydney in second grade and she was the kind of friend that as soon as we met we became instant best friends. For as long as I can remember we never really got into fights because we just didn’t have that type of relationship. Whenever we would hang out, unlike a lot of kids, we never talked crap about people. We always try to keep everything we say very positive which in our case helped us have an even better of a time because we were never serious. And so like birds, time flew. Time landed us in the most

Samuel Clemens and Mary Mason Fairbanks had a friendship, but different. Sam describes Mary in his letters as young and a mother figure. She shows strong criticism towards his bad habits and tells him things he should know. A mother instinct is right most of time in wanting the best for her children. Mary was a woman who speaks her mind especially towards Samuel she feels she can tell him anything since there friends. Having a friendship with someone is based on communication, honesty, being there when needed. Sam Clemens was thirty-one and Mary Mason Fairbanks was thirty-nine very close in age. The two met in June of 1867 loading the steam ship in Quaker City and made their way to Brooklyn. Sam and Mary both love to write and found out the two were writing for different newspapers in their hometown. When starting a conversation with someone you will find out information that could relate to each other. Such as what interests between the two, like or dislikes, and the background (Stahl, 2008).

In everyday life students are required to go to school. They connect with their friends to help them get through the school day. That’s why i believe friendship is needed throughout a person’s life.

When I was younger, I used to think that all people were good and every friendship that lasted longer than three months was forever. Now, I know that people will not always be what they seem, I might get hurt from friendships, and I have to learn to let go sometimes. I believe in standing up for yourself and your thoughts, even when it’s the harder thing to do. I stand for not letting a toxic relationship define you. This is how I believe in self worth.

It feels like there is an empty hole in my heart. One minute you have this magical friendship, the next thing you know it all disappears.This ride we had together just came to a complete stop.One of my best friends just moved away and it really hurts. I’m not one to share feelings or anything, but this event feels like an illusion of horror.

I think the most important kind of friendship is the kind where you learn from one another. I’ve always been a quiet, shy kid that would never think to open up a conversation with anyone. Being that, I never really shared any bonds so when I became close friends with this certain person, I was a little surprised. We’ve known each other since we were little and we basically grew up together, but we were never this close. I’ve always admired her from afar and I’ve always thought she was a really good example for others. And she was. I could tell that others looked up to her too. When I think of this person, three stories come to mind where she unintentionally taught me to be hardworking and determined, appreciative and helpful, and that sometimes it’s okay to think of myself.

In my junior year I had to start all over, new home, new school, and new friends. This experience made me realize how new friends can affect your life. Changing schools was hard at first. Leaving the people I’d spent so much time with over the years was challenging. Many nights I stayed up wailing like a banshee because I was afraid I wasn’t going to fit in and make new friends. I had tried to convince my mom to stay where we lived but living in that house was too much for her, it hurt her just being there.

I believe that I can ruin my own opportunities. If I have a bad attitude one day, then that bad attitude could ruin more than just other people’s moods. I can ruin my friendships and relationships with people. It all comes down to me. I am the reason for failed relationships and friendships. I shelter myself and hide from the world, not wanting to deal with the reality of my life.

A friend is someone you can count on to inspire you when no one else can or will.

Friends are there to give support through the tough times, help determine strenuous decisions, and also, to enjoy. While it’s essential to have friends who will give guidance and help you along your life path, at this point in my life, my priority is to enjoy time with friends. Support is from friends is valued when you need it, and right now I don’t. Yet, I still value friends themselves.

In a world where friendships and bonds are discouraged, family is more important. Friendships and bonds are discouraged because you cannot be friends or care for someone who is in a different social class. This means that friends groups are rather small and sometimes if they are found near each other, some to choose to go through pain stimulated by the chip just to beat up the other class. Some people are very close minded and have a deep hatred for those lower than they are. So it is quite difficult to make a large amount of friends. Most friendships get torn apart once graduation occurs or even because of competition. Competition can get immense and can get out of hand sometimes due to fact that almost everyone wants to get the better education, the better job, or even achieve Gold. It can get so brutal that some peers end up murdering each other to get rid of threats (fierce competition). These crimes go through a trial and some end up not guilty because the government sees it as them doing whatever they can to be the best. Mainly, there are very few friendships but they are all good ones without any negative side to them. That is, one of them get to a higher level they may never speak again. At times, friends who were in the same class but one of the them ends up in a higher class, they help each other if they’re really good friends. This is because there is a punishment if two different social classes speak to each other or just interact in general. They can help the

Sadhu Vaswani, a famous Indian educationalist and spiritual leader, once said “If my love is without sacrifice it is selfish. Such a love is barter, For there is an exchange of love and devotion in return for something. This is conditional love.” This quote spoke to me because I felt like it said wonders about the challenges of friendship. We exchange love and devotion for more love and devotion and this is part of what makes life worth living. Not only our relationships but also the friendships we form throughout our lives and how we handle those friendships shapes us in many ways. What we value in Friendship is different for every one of us but for me, I believe how much effort you put into a friendship should determine what makes your friendship great. Friendship is not perfection, in fact, the best friendships are those of imperfection because people are flawed and make mistakes. True friends are measured by the sacrifices they are willing to make for you. The people who sacrificed themselves for me were some of my oldest friends.
