Is it true? Friends have circles...

What is wrong to be having circles,it is there from quite a long time,People do maintain the friendship circles or that groups. Its okay however when it comes to making a friendship some see those differences of rich and poor but there are people who make friendship not seeing anything.

Wow...this is a good question to raise! In my personal opinion, I think that it's really all relative to the person. I think as a generalization, people befriending mostly people within their own social circle is true. Most people are usually around people within their own "status" more than anyone else. For example, rich people usually send their children to private schools or schools where other privileged children attend. Therefore, those children will become friends with other children who share their "rich status". Same thing for children living in poverty. They don't have the same chances given to them as a wealthy child, therefore they would probably never have the chance to meet each other. That's where you have to look deeper to the person. Say, there's a wealthy teenager who decides that they want to help at a shelter or something where an impoverished teenager is living with their family. These two teenagers have a chance to become friends. More than likely, they could become good friends because the wealthy teenager would probably have a good, open, and caring heart (because of the fact they want to help those less fortunate than them) and be more apt to understand and empathize with the poorer teenager. My best friend is 16 years older than me, very well off, a different race than me, and very open and friendly where I'm very shy. At the time we were becoming friends, I was going through a time in my life where I was living from place to place and had nothing to my name. I never once asked her for anything, but she gave me the shoulder I needed to lean on, and the strength to get through the tough spots. Now that my life is under control, we are still as close as sisters...ten years later! For all intents and purposes we are in completely different circles, ages, races, everything, but we are "family"! So, yes, I believe that statement is true in a wide generalization, but it all boils down to what's in the persons heart :)

I think so. Because I have a circle of friends, young and adult ones but I can relate with them and they loved my company much. I also have circle of friends same with my age and other friends who are older than me. I guess it depends on how you treat each of them.

hi:) yes it's true, we have also circle of friends, but not according to status of life, it's because were on the same interests and were on the same activities. and if ever one of our friends have friends, we could also include them on our circle as long as we s/he have same interest like ours.

In my opinion, there is a little truth in that statement. But, I am not generalizing. You see, people with same values, same status and grew up in almost the same environment, understands each other more often than not. So if you are friends with someone with a different background, there are times that you don't understand each other, be it a reaction to a certain situation or the way you deal with certain problems. I actually tried to look closer at my friends, and I can say that my closest friends does have the same background as I have. Though when I was a kid, I did have friends with different backgrounds, but as we all grew up, they hang out with me less and less. So I guess, there's truth in that statement, somehow.
