The Importance Of Friendship In My Life

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

Now it's not just the 3 guys I considered my best friends, it's a group of Amazing people. People who never seem to look unhappy. Tracy, Brody, Eli, Nick, and Jake. When I'm with them I am always smiling. Being around people with positive vibes, gives you positive vibes. They show me that I don't need to cry over a guy. They showed me that I'm too legit to quit. Brody and Tracy did not hang out with us in 8th grade because Brody went to a different school, and Tracy had different friends. But now we spend every breakfast and lunch together. We play basketball or volleyball at lunch. As long as we are together I will always stay

I think the theme of friendship is very relevant today because we often judge people before

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.

Friendship is often cited in criticisms of impartial consequentialist moralities such as utilitarianism. (Hurka) According to dictionary.com, utilitarianism is the ethical doctrine that virtue is based on utility, and that conduct should be directed toward promoting the greatest happiness of the greatest number of persons. Friends are essential in life because they are there throughout the good and bad times. They are there to bring out the best in you, such as being there to help you achieve the goals you have set and inspire you to be the best person you could be. Friends prevent loneliness and they also help improve your self-confidence and self-worth. Knowledge, achievement, and virtue are also quality goods that a friend

In this study, I have presented the personal experiences of friendship of a mother in her first year at University. The research though not unique it adds to the growing body of literature on friendship and identifies some themes that are supported by the literature.

It is human nature to have friends. A friend is someone we know well and have a special bond with. They are there to listen when we need to talk or lend us a shoulder when we need to cry. Each friend we meet in life has their own unique personality. Therefore, the different joys they bring us make them such an important part of our life. We come across a variety of friends along the way who mean more than anything; some we cherish dearly and a few we question. Along the course of my life, I’ve had 3 types of friends who have made an impact on me, one is adventurous, another is a brutally honest, and lastly, one that has been a lifelong friend but only reaches out when it benefits her.

Friendship is the best thing that can happen in life to every one of us. It is wonderful to have a friend with whom you can spend lovely time, go shopping, drink coffee, cry, laugh, share happiness and sorrow. A friend gives a sense of happiness to the joy of belonging, often security. It makes us feel less lonely and more valued. Friendship helps meet the basic need of being human. In my opinion, friendship is based on mutual kindness, sincerity, and trust. It involves the ability to count on someone in any situation.

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.

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

Beginning in public school for thirteen years I have learned a lot. Some things I have learned are how to read, math, science, etc. These are good things to learn in school, but not the most important thing I have learned in my life. I have learned the hardest thing anyone can learn is how to from friendships with others. Forming friendships is a hard thing to learn because no one teaches it. There is no classes that helps kids learn to make friends. Everybody for the most part has to learn all of it on their own. I struggled like everyone else to learn this, and at times I felt I struggled more than others.

Everyone wants a friend that can pat their back when the finish a race or give them a shoulder to cry on when there’s a need. Friends are essential to happiness. Friendship is the goodness in life, the sunshine on a cloudy gets people out of bed.

"True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island...to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing"-Baltasar Gracian. Let's admit it, life is an everlasting adventure filled with moments of happiness and sorrow. So why are friends such a crucial piece of the journey of life? Are people placed in our lives for a particular purpose? Are friends silent guardians that we are meant to look up to or look after? These are the questions that we as human beings ponder when significant moments engulf us. Challenges are placed in front of us in order to test our true grit: determination and courage to solve problems. However, true friendships come from people who hide behind the shadows and discover who we really are as humans. Then, once friends show their true colors, it is only then that they help us understand how precious life truly is...

“It’s finally the holiday season!” Albert wrote in his journal. The time when everybody comes together. Families reunite, and broken friendships heal. The typical family in my neighborhood comes together on Thanksgiving. Differently, my family doesn't see anybody unless their is a Bar Mitzvah or a funeral. I barely know my own dad. He works on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico.He has to be away for months at a time. Sometimes we get to Skype. On those short rare occasions when I see his tired face, he always lectures me about the value of education and how if I don't concentrate on school I'll end up like him. Doing a dirty job, far away from his home and family.

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.
