Friend in need is a friend indeed... Is this fair enough ?

you forgot the end of the song "a Friend with Weed is better" Lol Joking :) Anyway It all depends if the friend is not ABLE to help then i wouldnt consider them not to be a friend. But if a is able but not Willing to help then they are not much of a friend. I try to hlp all my friends as much as I can and though it may sound selfish i kinda expect them to treat me the same. Maybe not to the extend I do becuase sometimes i am OTT. But i like to think i can depend on them if i really need them.

I cannot really say that the person is not a friend but maybe it depends on the situation itself like if it talks financially and your friend does not have enough money to lend you one i think being there by your side and listen to your problems is enough to feel comfortable and relief.

A friend is a very special person. Sometimes, we can not approach our own family members but can talk to a friend on certain issues. You have to determine if so and so is a true friend/ good friend or just a friend. All good friends would like to help if they have resources to help. If they do not have the resources and therefore can not help, it is not their fault and we should not feel bad about it.

If your friend is a good one it is ok.One of my friend made havoc in my life and I am in a total loss, education wise,money wise. Some times I think about that.So what you have to do is ascertain the goodness of your friend and make sure you are mislead
