A friend is not a friend for ever. I bet there is alot of people with stories about what happened to there friendship with there so called best friend. I guess that is what confusses me about people they have like this need to feel liked. And a need for friendship even after getting made a fool of time and time agian. Some friend are mostly there to get into your love life or what some thing from you in some way. I am sure if you think about it long enough you would see what I mean. I have looked at my own life, and otheres around my, and the people you call friends always seem to do you wrong in the end. But what is the reason for this, and can you truely trust a friend? Or anyone for that matter? I even looked at chruch, and to my suprize as soon as a back was tured people was saying some bad thing about some one they called a friend. Even a man and wife are suposed to be best friends. Guess thats the reason divorce rates are so high.

A friend is always a friend forever.If he/she is not you are giving that person a wrong tag,he/she was never your friend

Maybe it is right.A piece of real friendship is never gone and when your friend betrays you,he isn't your friend any longer.Though he was ever your friend.

I disagree. A friend is a friend forever if they're actually a true friend. Yes, there are many people that we consider to be friends at some point in our lives that turn out to not be true friends, but that doesn't mean that true friends don't exist. It's hard to find a true friend, but they are out there. I have a few people that I can truly trust, but not many. That's ok with me, though. One of these people is my husband and yes, he's my best and truest friend. Divorce rates aren't high because friends don't exist, they're high because people marry for the wrong reasons and DON'T get to know and become friends with their partners.

well, i think its hard to have to say if u have a best friend because some people claim to have a best friend. but if they are apart and don't see each other everyday, then they'll stop communicating and thats not a sign of true friendship. however, if there is someone that u talk to everyday even if u don't see them or are near them, then thats when u know they are a true best friend!

That's true. Bestfriends may not always be the best after all. In fact, they can be the worst! Someone may know all about you and you talk about all kinds of stuff and you'll never know what is said behind you. My meaning of friendship is really deep. But I believe in true friends. For me, these are the friends who stay as friends even if we have gone different ways. These are the friends who try to keep in touch despite the distance, and finds a way to meet up when their in town. A friend who doesn't judge you but accepts you as you are. I have very few of these true friends. And I am so happy I have them in my life.

you are absolutely true. In most of the cases, friends are not true friends forever. They com eto your life for some purpose. There are someone you just come to make your life better. There are some who just take advantage of you and so behave so sweet with you. this has happened to me. Where someone came to my life as so called best friend for his own advantaghe and then ditched me badly. I'll never forgive him in life.

Yeah you are are right friend are not forever. Ive been experiencing about this bestfriend thing too but it never end like that as i thought that she was my real friend. I have lots of friends back home but just like that. I really dont have real friends at all cuz i prove to myself that no matter what problem you have you yourself can only solve it alone even husband can never help you sometimes.

They say NO MAN IS AN ISLAND. But then.. EVERY MAN IS FOR HIMSELF. That's weird. Everybody is striving hard to survive and a lot of people will go out of their way just to be ahead on the race. FRIENDS or not.. we are still living to survive.. and in order to do so, we must be loyal to ourselves FIRST before anyone else. Thus, creating a big world full of selfishness. Tsk tsk. MORALS must be prioritized and emphasized. This will lead us to the right path.

We are made of different stuff. And these differences sometimes are irreconcilable that we tend to part ways. But if we will only accept each other, including our differences, then the friendship we are sharing with one another will be save. I have a lot of friends who are gone. Dunno where to find. But I do share a very beautiful friendships with them. And I know, deep in our hearts, when time permits us to each other again, we will rekindle our friendships. because we already learned to accept each other as what we are before, today, and in the future.

I guess you are right in a way. Most people seem to be making frinds only for selfish motives. But if I make a friend without any such motive I am unlikely to be hurt if he doesnt remain a friend for long. If I have less expectatins I am unlikely to be disappointed. So make friends with a view to help them. And dont worry about how long they will remain your friends. It doesnt matter.

The girl I have been best friends with for years has kinda disappeared from my life. We hardly talk anymore and it bums me out. We used to be inseperable and now we haven't seen each other in months, almost a year actually. I was looking at pictures of us the other day and it made me sad. I guess that's life though. I've grown apart from several people that I held close to me. We just all went in different directions. My husband has been the one consistant person in my life, aside from my immediate family. He truly is my best friend.

hello may be your experience makes u talk like this, but my friend she is a gem she talks to me when iam sad and consoles me when iam unhappy and supports me when iam in need of it. but never involves herself in my marraige life. she never advices me how to get along with my husband ofcourse she does advice me how to tackle my childrens when i do not do it properly. not necessary that always friends should be bad u do have very good friends andthat depends on how u are with them
