A friend can either be the best thing in the world or the worst thing in the world. A friend and be true and loyal or a backstabber. You never know who is a fake or a real friend that's why you can only have a handful of friends. You can always have people to talk to but not a lot of best friends. I'm still best friends with my fourth grade friend form elementary by a miracle. You can be best friends with someone for years, but people change. The one friend you could always be true to, is now gone and takes a piece of your heart with them. What really sucks is when you have a best friend and you tell them everything about you and they end up backstabbing you, thats the worse feeling in the world. It's always nice to have someone on a different level of friendship with. Especially if that level is best sisters, best friends level but when that "friend" suddenly leaves you. you feel horrible. But its always good to have other friends that agree that your "friend" is taking it to far and not only that but is overreacting. To be honest i should've known, throughout element y and middle school my best friends would always leave me because I wasn't popular. All but one, and i'm very glad we are still friends to this day. I'm a type of friend that if you ask me to help you I would drop everything i'm doing, it doesn't matter what and i would help you right then and there. i don't care if you just need someone to talk to or if you need advice or just need a girls night out i would go and be by your side. even if i'm suffering with problems of my own i would rather keep my problems to myself and help you, i wouldn't want my friend to worry about me. i would never talk bad about you or back stab you or spread rumors about you. i take friendship as if your my sibling, if anyone messes with you then they mess with me. But i understand now that not all people know how to be a friend and are greedy and only want things but not give anything back and when they have whatever they want then they leave you like your trash, and don't even look back. they wouldn't even look at you like if you are human. these kind of people are everywhere. Cherish the best friends you have and be smart on who you chose to be on a personal level with, because you never know who will be the fake friend.
