Is it better to have a couple Best Friends or a group of friends?

Tweet

There are pros and cons to both sides. Best Friends you can convide easily to one another and know for a fact nobody else will find out. It's easier so there isn't big fights over what one may say to anther behind somebody's back. It's easier on the buget for buying birthday gifts. A group of friends is eaqually as good, you get the experiences of having a multidue of friends. The slumber parties are big. Best Friends cons are that if you get in a fight you might not have somebody there helping you make amends, don't get the experience of the multidude of friends. The Cons of the group is talking behind each others back, petty fights over not agreeing. All i know is I have a best friend and it works well. I know every friendship has there fights and disagreements. But which is better to have? Should it be based on each others personality or socail skills, what?
