hi, i find comfort knowing i have true and real friends around to back me up, support me and shares my happiness. real friends do. though occasionally they would try to call my attention if i am at wrong but still stays and encourages me to put back the broken pieces when i fall. the test of real friendship happens when we are down and in need of help for real friends are the ones who stays behind while the rest would put there back at you. do you have friends who would stay with you in spite and despite everything? or the are just there for a season, a reaso or forever?

I have three lifelong friends that I know would back me up and be there for me if need be and I would definitely be there for them. Even though we don't live near one another, we all know that we're just a phone call away.

hi, it is a nice feeling knowing that we may be far from our friends but if we need their help they are just a phone call or a message away. :)

i believe not think they will be always there to help me through thick and thin and we have been helping out each out through the years and no one has left anyone down. the thing is to make friends who have same nature as you and to tell them that you trust them... having nice friends is a blessing and i am very thankful to God for it. make friends but be careful and enjoy

it's really rare to find true friends and I'm glad to say that I was able to find a few ones. My close friends are always there. At times, we may not be touch everyday unlike before but I can still feel there presence. Every once in a while, they will show a simple gesture just to let me know that I can depend on them no matter what happens. Real friends do not judge you for they accept you for who you are, no more no less. For all the things they have done for me, I really try my best to do the same thing for them. It's nice to have friends that I can treasure forever.

I am proud of friends that I have. Our friendship have been tested several times already. We may have ups and downs too, misunderstanding or arguments but despite all of that we stood up and tried to understand and accept each others differences. They are always there for me. I may need them or not and vice versa. Financial or emotional we are there for each other. Our friendship were tested and proven already. We may not talk as often as what we do before, still we know that whoever needs help as long as we can do and offer it, there's no more questions or talks whom should offer and what to offer.

Real friends are the most valueable treasure in this world. Thoug you are not always contect them, they must be the first one to help you whenever you are in trouble. Friends are the people who will give you advises when you do not know how to solve your problems.Friends are the people who will be drunk with you when you are upset. Friends are the people who will share your happyness when you are succeed. Fortunatelly, I have three friends like that around myself. I have to say I am a lucky man.

A friend in need is a friend indeed! Is there a window, through which let u won't despair?See, the colourful world, just like in your dream. Laughing, crying, losing, or aging, what's the difference in the ending? Is there any love that won't hurt u? So many words in my mind for so long. Friends are the answer!

It is true that friends are valuable to have around when times are tough and you need some help getting through things. But I think the true test of friendship is when things are looking good for your. Are your friends happy for you or jealous. That is how you know if they are truly your friend.

I have a lot of friends but some of them are really special. It is really nice to have people around you who actually have the tendency to make your day. I truly beleive in people who can help me out in my life and moreover it helps you share out the things and speak up in front of them. ONce you share your problems you feel more and more relaxed.

i have friends and i am lucky to have them as they are there everytime with me and now i know that my friends are really far away from me and we are scattered in different countries but still we are friends and are in touch through mails and i can still share my feelings with them and they can help me out if i am in a need. but here also i am having a few friends which are really good and help me out all the time when i want and i think their feeling of helping is enough for me as i am not in a need of by gods grace but i know they are there for me. i really miss them and i think even they does it as i can know from their mails and also when i speak to them as we are so busy in our daily life, job, and family we are not able to meet eachother but then too we know and remember eachother and still are friends.

Yup friends are really very very precious gems of life given by GOD... I have my full faith in all of my good friends.. and share my happiness and sorrows with them.. they r very important for me.. i am possessive for them! I think they r not for season but are for reason in our life! They r one's who brings that rare touch to out lives, which parents and siblings can't bring... But it matters a lot that whom you consider your good and Caring friends?? Otherwise it wont be that fruitful relationship!

Friends are really nice gift to us. And it's nice to know that they are real and true friends that we can trust and shares our problem. so atleast if we feel down we have someone to call and help us out from the problem. But not all friends are nie, some are also hurt you. So we must choose those real and stay on our side whatever happens.

yes it is really nice to have true friends whose friendship does not matter on richness or you being poor ,there are the person who are always with you .i am thankful that i have such friends who care for me and correct me when i am wrong and always forgive and correct my mistakes i have commited. the person who are with you when you are happy and goes against when you are in need of them,there are not your friends.

Not all of my friends would stick with me through anything, but they are not people I would stick with forever, either. Those friends are simply ones I like to hang out with and share jokes with sometimes; generally "school" friends. I do have a few friends that I know would, however, help me if I were in need, even if it meant them having to give up something for themselves, as I would them. These friends are the most important in life; the ones you should surround yourself with, Not knowing a true friendship is not being complete.

here is also how i defined a friend. real friends are not those who are nice to be with, but rather those who are nice to talk with, cause they dont only listen, they understand. not only your words, but most of all, your silence.........

of course, it is much pleasure to have a real friend, and here is how i defined friendship. friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest, who comes first or who cares the best,true friend is all about who comes and never left, the one who made you complete!!!!!!!!
