have you ever think of this question before? I thought friends are to help when you are down but I also learned that there are different types of friends.» friends of money, friends of dressing, friends indeed. « isn't it a bad thing to see those who suppose to be there when you need them becoming the ones that mock you publicly. what is your opinion? share your experience about friends. . .

A friend is a one in need is a friend in deed . This says that a friend is a person who just take care of ur feeling . He is the one with whom we can share all our feeling without any hassitation. When we r in need of help he is the one who will come first . No one can take the place of friend.

A friend is someone that has the same things that you like, same goal, always there in times of happiness and troubles. A friend is someone that tell you to do good when you are doing otherwise. A friend is someone you can lean on when you have a problem. Friends should never be ashamed of you or make fun of you most especially in public. A true friend will never hurt your feelings.

A friend to me is more like a reflection of myself. I consider one as a friend because he/she truly understands me and accept me for who I am as I am to them. There are many acquaintances, colleagues, co-worker, etc. but treating one as a friend is something only us can determine.

Friend is now used loosely with the creation of Facebook. I have many friends who are with different groups of people. Because of this, people have started using adjectives such as best friend or good friend to further deviate what type of friend you are. Calling someone a friend is certainly better than calling them a stranger or acquaintance. I think anyone who will be there to back you up in times of trouble are worthy of being called a close friend. Anybody who you hang out with you a lot should be considered a good friend. A best friend is pretty obvious. They would probably go heads over heels trying to help you out in any way possible and you trust them.
