A friend is a person that do not ever stab another friend in the back also never repeat anything that the friend has said.A true friend is a person that we can trust with all that we tell them, also they never judge what we say.A friend is a person who you know you can talk to about anything no matter what and will always stay by your side in times of upset.

hi, Sometimes a friend stabs another friend in the back ,quarrels and fights do come in between best friends , some situations happen to make them depart.We can not say or sure that a person would really be on ur side always.,its fortune to hav a person who keeps always on our side whether it is right or wrong.

"No man is an island." I believe this quote. There are times when we need to be alone but most of the time we need somebody beside us and that's what friends do.

In my experiences, friends come and go, and some will stay. It is highly dependent on our own wants, needs, and desires in a relationship and how it evolves and changes as we move through each chapter of our lives and continue to invent and discover ourselves. During childhood, usually we define our friends as the people we have the most fun with. As we get older, however, and our lives become more serious and our personalities begin to develop, the definition of a friend becomes a more complex one and more things get added to the equation besides just fun. This will cause some people to drift apart and others to become closer to you. This different, more mature way of connecting with people may even make you close to the kind of people you never could have imagined as a child. Sometimes new friends may even become closer than old ones as a result. As for me, friendship has never been my forte. I am still in touch with some of my childhood friends but only because they happen to be family friends - my parents are good friends with their parents, so we see and enjoy each other during family get-togethers and the like, but don't go out of our ways to see each other the way we used to as children. Other people I met as a child, I still see and get together with on occasion. Ironically, our relationship is still very much on a "childhood" level in many ways. It's not that we do childish things, but our relationship is still more based on having fun together than it is on sharing deep thoughts. They are very fun, nice, thoughtful people, but I wouldn't go to them for serious things because I feel they might not understand on the level that I need to be understood. Then I have some relatively new friends (meaning, friends I have made in the past decade). I consider these to be my closest emotionally, but I still have trouble opening up out of fear of how they might react. I have to take things very slowly and gradually so that I can be sure of what I can say to them and how to say it so that they won't take it the wrong way. I guess I am slowly getting the hang of this whole friendship thing, but if is difficult because sometimes I wonder if I am valued or if I am even good enough for these people (nothing to do with anything they've said or done - just an lifelong insecurity complex on my part.) So for me, there are different kinds of friends who play different roles at different times in your life. A very rare few of these will stay with you through anything and everything, and you will be able to count these on one hand most likely. Most people will probably only have one or two friends like that.

a friend is someone who is will be there for you, whether rain or shine, through life's ups and downs. Someone who is will accept you no matter who or what you are. Someone who will not betray you but comfort you in times of troubles.
