Do you have friends who have forgotten you when they succeeded?

I haven't experienced that yet but one of my friends has this to say. When she had money she has a lot of friends, she even doesn't know some of them but they claim that they are her friends. When her business was gone and she has no money anymore, all her friends were gone too. I feel sad for her. Some friends are not really friends. I hope people will be more considerate to others.

It happened to me. One time I was in a little bit of wealth-being suddenly there are people whom I didn't know giving their help to me even I really didn't ask them to do. But when the wheel are turning they just dissappear like I never met them before. I don't consider them friend but a bunch of flies that hangs around when there food on the table.

I feel 'Friend' would be a a misnomer for such type of people.The age old adage , A friend in need is a frirnd in deed, still holds good! I dohave many friends of mine who are very successful and they still have contacts with me! Same way I can say that I am quite successful in my life and I am above the average in the Society but I never forget my old friends and I always make it a point to meet or contact them whenever it is possible! New friends can never replace your old childhood friends in any way! I am lucky I don't have any friends of this kind! Thanks!

Yes, I had a friend. She eloped with a boy and got married. This girl's family was very rich and did not liked the boy she was friendly with and that was the reason for her elope with him. After that family did not accept her as one of theirs. My friend and her boy both did not have jobs but she got pregnant. She got a job at the mean time but she could not offered to buy the things to welcome the child. So I offered to help and bought everything and gave her as I was working at that time. 9 months passed and one day she came to my house and said that her water bag was broken. So my father and I rushed her to the hospital and there she dilivered an angel looking baby girl. I was only 19 at that time and couldnt take my eyes off from that baby. So my friend knew the love that I had for the baby so she and the boy started going out to night clubs leaving the infant with me. This was going on for sometime and my parents told me to stop baby sitting. Another friend came to my rescue and she had told her not trouble me. By that time they had won a lottery and have got rich and her parents too had accepted her. Now she did not want my help anyway but stopped talking to me and did not come to our place after that. Later when I had my first child, she came to visit me with a pair of earings for the baby and she had told my other friend that by giving that she has paid me for the things I've done for her those days. So In life you find friends like this too.
