That's what friends are for!
"No man is an island" as other says- very true. It is very important to have true and compassionate friends who will always be there for you in good times and bad times.
In my life history, I've built many friendships. They made me happy and they help me grow both emotionally and mentally. I enjoy hanging out with them- going in some popular places and sharing stories and funny experiences that we have. When we are together, I really feel happy and sophisticated. As other teenagers around the world I feel more joyful and free when I'm with my friends.
But it is not easy to find true and loyal friends that will care and love you whole heartedly. Nowadays, many persons are selfish and self-conceited. They only care for their own good and reputation and forgot the most important part of their lives- to have a good relationship with others.
Many friendships are ruined because of cupidity when sometimes comes to the point that they will defame others.
Be careful of those silver -tongued persons. Wisely choose trustworthy persons especially in telling your top most secrets. True friends keep secrets but others can't.
Every person has their own unique personality. You only have to choose among them- the one who will touches your heart and the one you treasured most. True friends are always there not only when they need you but also never leave you when you need them.
Stay with the person who made no promises but willing to make you happy and you're being valued like no other. Always admire those people who stay at your side after seeing the real you, for you do not have to change like others assumed you to be.
Until now, I still have many friends to share joy and sorrow. I do cherish them because they are all blessings.
Friendship is also a give and take relationship. It is not good to take every time, you must also give. Let them feel that they are important to you and you really care about your friendship. Be willing to lay-off your hands and shoulders when they are facing trials and they needed someone who will comfort them. Always be at their side in failures and victories. Lift them up when they feel down and tell them encouraging words. Correct them if they are wrong in a way that you will never hurt them too much- be sensible.
Building a perfect friendship takes time, you have to be patient. Feelings and emotions change, it doesn't mean that if you don't feel comfortable and happy with them the friendship is gone. There are times you have to give in to its bitterness, and whenever you decide to continue, it would become more beautiful.
