The importance of friends

Yes, I agree. I believe that having friends, especially true friends, is important because they are people that you can talk to outside of your family because your family may not always understand the things that you go through, so you can talk to people more around your own age. For myself, I talk to friends because I have a lot of fun when I chat with them, even about the most random topics. I talk to them and ask for their advice as well because there are a lot of things that I go through that they have gone through or is currently going through that they can tell me about their experiences and how they handle certain situations. Also, when I feel like I need to rant, or just to release some bottled up feelings, I can always find someone to do so. And just as you said, when something good happens to us and we are successful at something, we tell our friends about our happy news, yet also like you mentioned, I also feel like we tend to take our friends for granted and we don't thank them enough for everything that they have done for us and I feel as though there should be some sort of day dedicated to thanking the friends that we have that have truly helped us out in some way because friends are truly important in our lives =]
