When I was finishing High School I had many friends I laughed at my mom when she told me you'll find out who your real friends are after high school. You know what my mom was exactly right!
To me I feel a friend should hold these qualities: Caring, drop everything to be by your side, honest, funny, giving, loyal etc... well I have come to find out most don't hold even one of those qualities. Now 7 years later I still talk to 3 of my highschool friends and I have about 4 new friends. Can I trust all of them NO! I can probaly only trust 3 of them. To me thats very sad. I love having friends but now a days I think they are so hard to find. How about you guys what do you think?

I think you are right, true friends are hard to find. I have 3 friends that I still talk to from highschool. One though, I babysit her kid so thats really all their is to the relationship. She is pretty busy so we never do anything together. My truest friend and I have been friends since we were 4, which is 22 years. We've had our rough times over the years but we've always overcome it. I think most people only have a few true friends.

Your right many only have a few. It's funny when I go out I see my fake friends ya know the ones you kiss on the cheek say hi laugh a little with then move on to the next group out. Then I have my party friends the ones that are good for just going out with but you would never be able to call them up if you were stuck on the side of the road 4 hrs away and ask them to come get you. But latly I find as I am getting older I am sick of those two groups I mean why be fake just to be nice. If I know their going to talk about me the second I walk away then why bother with the fake hi and smile. Like the saying goes... "Hatred is in the girl who just told you she liked your hair"

I started a similar discussion a few weeks ago called "Friends...How Many Of Us Have Them???"
2 ME, trust is part of the FOUNDATION of a TRUE friendship!
So, if u can't trust someone, they're NOT your friend!
In fact, without TRUST, I don't consider it a relationship of ANY kind! They may be an "acquaintance", or "associate", but a "friend"...NO!
MANY people put the "friend" label on people, when in REALITY, they're just people that u INTERACT with, NOT real friends!
In addition 2 trust, I'd add RESPECT, compassion, sensitivity, LISTENS 2 u (not just PRETENDS 2), and ACCEPTS u 4 who u are, WHOLE-HEARTEDLY, 100%!
If all of these things are NOT present, then u have 2 stop DELUDING yourself!
U DON'T have a friend at all!
