What kind of friends do you have? I have some friends from when I was a kid and not too many that I made as an adult. I only have a handful of friends but the ones I have are good quality friends, they are the ones you can count on in a jam. How about you? What kind do you prefer?

I'm a friendly person, but I choose my friends in a way that I can really rely to them when I am in need. My best groups friends that I have are mostly from high school and until know we hand out. I see them more than my college or elementary friends. I also have my choir friends, but still not as much as my high school friends and they are the ones that I would like to hang out with even when we are old. (This is why I like the show "How I met Your Mother" because they have been friends for a very long time :)

It depends on who you were close too the most, and that's how I enjoy my friends now. :)

I have lots of friend with different characteristics, some are true friends which I can lean on. But I have many friends also, when you have a money to spend for them but if you don't have a money, well don't expect they will treat you as close friend because they will just ignore you. I have a friend her name is Alleli and we were friends for 10 years until now, she is the only person that I can talk when I have a problem and we usually hang out at the mall and do shopping. Now that she is in the other country, I felt so alone and miss our bonding. Hoping to see here after two years.

Thats sad about the money thing. Money has never played much into any of my friendships. It's kind of weird but my close friends are almost like family, we are always there for one another in a time of need. We don't live in the same area but we all came from the same area.

Those friends who took advantage of me in terms of money aren't my true friends. But I still hang out with them sometimes, they are the one who likes to have a happy go lucky life. I hang out with them as a social group, mingling and meeting new people that can be a set of friends.

I have both types of friends. I got friends who are very professional but they will never be with you when there is a personal problem, some are so close that they won't even ask you about your new job and then finally there are friends who are here in every cases, who does not need a call to visit you and take care of you.

You know a lot of my close friends don't have to call often and we just pick up where we left off the last time we spoke. In todays world everyone is so busy.

I have friends that are 2 years younger than me. I have friends that are 1 year younger than me. I don't really get along much with people who are my age because i think differently.

I think that if it wasn't for the emails and social networking sites I wouldn't be in contact with many of the people I'm in contact with. It is wonderful how I can keep in contact with everyone through the wonderful age of technology.

I don't have any of the same friends now as I did when I was a young child. The friend who I have had for the longest I made friends with when I was about 14. Most of my friends are those who I made friends with when I was 16 and just starting college. I have made a fair number of friends in university this year, and I think that they will be the ones who I am still friends with years from now. I think that I will also make a lot of friends when I get a job as well, and I want to be a psychology researcher, meaning that I will be able to work with many people who have the same or at least similar interests to me.

I know a lot of people but I only have very few close friends. I think most people are untrue... so I keep the ones who are are being real to me, and I stay loyal to them too. I'm glad to have the friends that I do have now. I would never trade anything for these people (friends and family) I have in life.

I think everyone would prefer the friends they can count on, the trouble is, most people hit the high road the minute trouble starts. I have some amazing friends that I have managed to keep in touch with since middle school, after that it took years to find any real friends. By real, I mean friends who would go out of their way for you if you needed them to. In the past five years, I have met a few that I feel I could count on, but I think it is important to point out that to make really good friends you have to first be a really good friend. I do think there are good people in the world, but with the population as high as it is, there are going to be plenty of not so good people as well.
