"As we grow up"

prashu True what you say is right. The problem is after we grow we all go in different directions-- as long as we were in school or college we had common objectives -- after studies one goes to bank, another to army, another to cinema--tastes differ so it is good to have a few good friends. prashu which is your favourite TV program?

Well what you're saying is actually really right!If you got 40 friends and 2 of them are true friends than i would not go with the other 38:D!

Hi prashu, Good friends are rare to come and stay.I too agree that it is better to have a few good friends rather than many fair weather friends .I have very few good friends,but they are always there for me since I have had them for years ...all the best and happy mylotting

The same happened in my life too,i could very easily relate to your story here since i always felt the same and having near and great buddies for life are more precious,because people so called friends stay with us expecting some them,they are surely bypassers.only true friend stands by us all the time and he deserves to be called a friend for life

I couldn't agree more. I really learned this the hard way. In my teens i had lots of friends, or people who I thought were friends. I put a lot of importance on them, if they ever had any problems I would try my best to help and be there for them, but when my own problems came along it was easy to see those same people were no where in sight. I think in life you only end up having a few real friends, those people you can count on and lean on in good times and bad and they know the can lean on you too. Im actually thankful for those experiences that taught me, because otherwise i could be wasting my time around people who dont really have my best interests at heart.

You are right, having good legit friends that have your back is all you need. You shouldn't just throw everyone else away, but they could be aquiantances. Nothing beats a good friend, and if you can surround yourself with a few, you will surely experience happiness. Just my opinion, but I agree with yu completely.

I have known alot of people in my life. Very few of them would I call real friends. When I was in my teens I usually hung with one or two people. As I got older I would hang out with more people. But now as I have retired and don't go out much any more my friends are very few and very good.

Hi Prashu, We have to see the quality in friends not quantity, but the teen age is like that every body think like that on those days. When the importance of friend will arrive the faces of the friends are faded, then only we can realize who is best friend and who is waste friend. When the age is growing we may wise in thinking and selecting good friends, have a nice day.

May be you are right. But i have passed 33 years of life without having a friend, i mean whom i can consider as a real friend. Be friend with everyone but dont share everything. Limited friend as less helpful than being familiar with a lot. Have a nice time,

hello prashu, yes that is true with age there's less and less of those who someone grew up with and few stay close, but im happy if i only get a few but no friend can take the place of my angel.

Yes it is true real friends sticks around. It reminded me of one thing that happened to one of my brothers over 40 years ago, he was 23 years old about and my parents wanted him to be able to advance in the trade he was working in, and from that point they suggested him to take the job that was offered to him ( out of town) and get a better pay check, and he told them " I don't want to leave my friends", he didn't want to go away from them, so what happened is that his friends slowly left the area and went their way ( far enough ) that they were no more near him, my mom had told him, it thought him one thing just because you think you have real friends, it doesn't mean they care really about it you, and you have to loose your life because of them.

I agree. Before, I get so concerned about not having too many friends, like other people. However, I realized that I'm more lucky to have real friends around me and are ready to be with me when I need them. And, the best thing of all, is I have my husband who is my best friend, and with him by my side, I don't even have to go looking for other people to talk to or be with.

Ya i agree with you. Real friends will do anything for us in the tough situations. If we are real to them they will automatically do the same things to us. Both side of true friendship is needed to maintain a long relationship between them. Numbers is not important.

yeah..i feel the same with you.someone seem have so many friend around them but they are lonely as well.i want have two or three people who can understand me and i want we are friend in the whole life. oh..maybe i am too greed.i will content if i can have only one friend like this
