Now I understand the meaning of friends ,what about you ?

As an adult, I have learned a lot about friendship. The way that we view friendships when we are children is much different from what we realize that friendship really is when we are adults. I think that in the friendships that I maintain as an adult, that we do have a lot of things in common, such as the chapter of our lives that we are in, the interests that we have in also very important. Finally, I think that constant attention from a friend is something that you come to realize isn't necessary at all.

At the present moment, to me a friend is someone that I know, and doesn't hate me. I smile at them, they smile at me, and I can call them friend. We should all be friends in this glorious world in which we life, by being friends, or at least friendly with one another, loving unconditionally, and providing service to others, without expecting things in turn, the world becomes a better happier place.

For me friends is the one who can lie on you no bad words to say when your not with in.

yes my friend. i also change the meaning of friend during growth process because i was wayward too my friendly friend. friendship for me is a give and relationship without any expectations. dont expect to get back the favors youve done to a friend. if they gave a favor back, thats friendship. if they didnt, just be wayward about it my friendly friend.

Friends are distinguished by the way how you feel about him or her. Caring, brotherly/sisterly or even more than that. He or she'll fight or never let you down in times of trouble. Friends are not just in words... must be more of deeds.

I have this favorite definition about friendship that best describe my relationship with my friends---Friendship is a term used to denote co-operative and supportive behavior between two or more people. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem, and affection and respect along with a degree of rendering service to friends in times of needs & crisis. Friends will welcome each other's company and exhibit loyalty towards each other, often to the point of altruism. Their tastes will usually be similar and may converge and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping behavior, such as exchanging of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviors. Yet for me, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm you...:)

Making friends is hard work. You have to be willing to reach out, to listen, to be honest and accepting. You have to risk being rejected, not everyone want to be your friend. Still, a life without friends would be no life at all. You want to be happy, first must have friends. A friend is present you give yourself. Friends always remain friends and I never change how I treat my friends.

As we grow, we slowly realize everything that we have in life. The things that we take for granted before, later on we slowly appreciate and cherish it. Friends are really good to have aside from family. Whether you have the same interests but if the spark will make a good relationship as friends. it feels good to have somebody you can tell your little secrets or talk about what you have in mind. As we get older, we learn more what and how it means to have friends.

Yes I do. Reaching this age I have already realized what a friend is all about. There were instances in my life that the friends I know turn their back in me, and that was when I realized who are my real friends are. There are many friends in our life, but only few are worthy to be called friends.

Yup, redefining is part of the process of growth. As we grow older (not just in years but as well as on experiences) we redefine the meaning and not to mention the importance of certain things. During childhood we generally view friends as someone we share our toys with, someone whom we play with, someone who's beside us come what may. But during the learning stage, we discover that friends are not just their to play with us, to cheer for us or to celebrate with us. Friends are also their through the bad times -- at least the true ones. They may not always be their accompanying us, they might not always be beside us maybe due to life's circumstances but one thing's for sure. They're always their for us... behind us or viewing us from afar.

as we grow older our perspective in life changes as well. the meaning of friend when we were a kid was someone we play with in the playground. in our teenage years, the meaning of friends changes. their opinion already matters. we sometimes tend to change ourselves to blend in with the friends of our choice. as years pass by there meaning becomes an important person in our life. we tend to stand by them if they are in need and vise versa. for me, friends are they people i can count on. i tend to share my secrets to them first rather than with my family. i can be me when i'm with them without expectations. they accepted me as me and that i've accepted them as well as for who they are. as we grow older we discover new things but our respect and love for each other never change.

before i gave the suggesstion about friend, you must know about the meaning that friend, that friend could be in broad outline interpreted as the person asked by you to speak, sharing the problem etc,and to get the friend who was wanted by you was not because all the friends had their respective background
