What is the true definition of a friend? Do you have true friends, or are the people you associate with just associates?
Every body claims there your friend but the question is are they? A lot of people run around trying to play the role of a good friend when there really talking about you behind your back. That’s not a real friend that’s what you call an associate the kind of person you can’t trust but you may talk to them here and there. Now the definition of a friend is someone who always going to be there for you no matter the situation. The kind of person that you can come to during your up’s and downs. The one you can’t trust to tell you anything if something doesn’t fit you or you’re just not acting like your self. You can’t just give your trust to anybody. To have to be sure that you can’t trust and depend on. You need to make sure this person is loyal to you and you have to give that same respect back Now a days when your friend lies to you or turns there back on you is considered “fake” because if there your friend they shouldn’t do things that will mess up your friendship. Now I’m not saying friends don’t go through there problems but there is a limit. If this so called friend is to to many things to hurt your friendship then that’s not a true friend point blank period.
ReplyDeleteTrue friends are like diamonds percious and rare.False friends are like autumn leaves found everywhere . A true friend will listen to you and not judge you . They will be there to provide a shoulder to cry on and a good laugh . A friend can always be counted on . You never have to look for them because they are always there.

N- friends are necessary to help us grow
D-A friendis always deserving our trust and provides excellent company
To be honest, I do not think that true friendship exists. It is all an act. People pretend that they are friends and act as if they care for each other when they actually don’t. Based on what I have seen (in this school building too), a lot of people claim that they are friends but at the end of the day they go around gossiping about each other. I also proclaim that there is nothing like friendship because of the things I have experienced. From personal experience I say that true friendship does not exist in modern days. Maybe it existed back in the day but today it’s very rare to find people who are true friends.
ReplyDeleteThe problem that most “friends” have is simply based on money. It is all about the brand label of clothes that individuals wear. It is all about the amount of money that individuals have in their pockets and also the type of individuals from the opposite gender that “your so called friend” goes out or hangs out with. For example when a girl does not have the brand label of clothes that the most girls wear but still she is not ashamed to hang around with “her friends”, who wear expensive brand name clothes. Whenever that girls leaves her “friends” start talking about her saying, “Did you see what she was wearing? , She always wants me to pay for her…” and all kinds of insulting words.
Taking from experience, I learnt the hard way. I always believed that “true friendship” existed. When I was still in Africa I lived the life of a typical reckless teenager. I partied almost every weekend. Spent some time with different girls every week and bounced from relationship to relationship regularly. If the people who I called my friends were “true friends” they would have told me that what I was doing was wrong. Instead they advised me to continue doing what I was doing. What really hurt the most is that they went around laughing behind my back, stating that with the amount of girls I used to hang around with I would probably be a carrier of a Sexually transmitted disease. Furthermore during the periods of time in which I was broke my “friends” were nowhere to be found.
I do not want to implant my opinion on anyone’s mind. I don’t want to end your “friendship” . if you believe that you have a true friend don’t mess it up because of what I wrote. This is just my personal opinion.
GOD BLESS...
I'm going to start this weeks' blog by saying there are alot of people I calls my friends, and there even some that I call my best friends , but their only one person I call my true friend. This '' person'' and I been friends since we were three years old and without her I don't who will I talk to about my problems.
ReplyDeleteThere 's a thin line between a person who are your friends and a person who are your associate or acquaintances .A friend is a person who you ''trust'' and hang out with majority of your time(meaning social life).Associates or acquaintances are just people you know that you meet on few ossasions. Example of a acquaintances maybe a person that goes your to school with or a person that you work with. When you do come across that person that is your acquaintances. Your and this person may have a small conversation and that going to the end of your that person interaction with each other.A friend are people you '' think you can trust''. A friend are people you hangout with on the day to day bases.
Even there a thin line between a person that is your friend and a person that is your true friend. Because in todays' time even a person your would consider your friend in reality that person can't you stand you, the only reason why that person is your '' friend '' is to bring you down or use whatever you tell he/she against you. So you don't know which people who are your friends and those who are not.A true friend is a person that:
is not a back stabber
if you tell that person that something that is very personal in your life and you KNOW that she will not tell anyone, at any cost.
She is alway there for you not to judge you , but to support you at anything you do.
is your friend to the very end.
To answer the first question do you have a true , while it varied from person to person , for me I do have a true friend. In order to have a true friend, the main compent your and your friend must have is TRUST. If you do not have trust than your and friend are not true friends ,but you and that person is just friends.
So this my input on this weeks' blog topic.
Remember Trust is the key to a good friendship.

What is the true definition of a friend?
ReplyDeleteThe true definition of a friend is a person who is there for you no matter what, don't lie to you no matter what, keeping their promises to you no matter what, and don't stab you in the back meaning that if one of your friend go behind your back talking about you or telling everyone else about your personal business or your business.
Do you have true friends?
I do have true friends because they always have or got my side or back and I always have there's and they got mines. And also you can't be that type of person who do or does things like that like talking about your true friend and they being true to you. No Way!. To make sure that you have true friends is being with them for a while and see what's up. I'm not going to have friends who don't got your side and don't be there for you every step you take and make sure you choose your true friends wisely.
Are the people you associate with just associates?
Some of them are and some of there are not.
A true friend will listened to you and not judge you. They will be there for you to provide a shoulder to cry on and show or have a good laugh. A friend can always be counted on and you will be counted on them. You will never have to look for them because they are always there beside you or next to you.
So this my input on this weeks' blog topic.
