and this is the best consolation in the lowest moments of our lives, realizing who our real friends are.

It can sometimes be very hard to be able to know who are the best friends in our life and who are those who not so good for us. Unfortunately it can take a very hard time or experience for us to realise who those true friends are. For example when we are in need, it will be our true friends who are the ones that are there for us, whereas the fake friends will run at the first sign of trouble. I am happy that I have three real friends that I have known from school, and I know that we are going to be friends for the rest of our lives.

I also think that true friends will be there for us all the time. I am happy that you have three good real friends. Most times friends through our schools and our childhood will be our true friends for the rest or our lives.

Hello! It is said - 'A friend in need is a friend indeed'. So check out when you are in trouble which of the friend come foreard to rescue you. This will be a simple test of real friendship. Remember this dictum applies to you aw well. Means how much help you render to your friends when they are down and out.

I think most people who are not good friends will let us down when we are in bad times and good friends always stay with us in our lives.

What you need is to get into a spot of problem and then you will be able to differentiate the friends. True friends will stick with you through thick and thin while the fake will flee at the first sight of trouble.

I think when the bad time comes most times we will be able to understand who all will be the true friends and who all will be the fake friends. It is always good to have good friends in life.

A good friend is there for you in good times and bad times. They encourage you to do things and they never pass judgment on you. A good friend just calls you up for no reason. I have had only a few good friends mostly what I call acqaintences,because I really didn't know them very well.

I also think that fake friends will be there when we are successful and real friends will be there even when we fail and will be there to remove our tears and to make us happy in life.

I could say that I have alot of friends but I don't. I had many associates when i was working and afew aquaintances here and there. But very few real friends. I think there are givers and takers too. People who befriend you for some reason, to get something from you. Real friends are people who keep in touch with you and act like they care. And consistancy is another way you can tell who your real freinds are. If they are consistance in contacting you, inviting you, etc.

I also found out that now a days there are only very few real friends and I have also come across a lot of fake friends in my life and very few real friends. I wish there are more real friends in our lives.

Your true friends will be those who are there for you when you need them and who don't ask for anything in return. Fake friends are people who are often times looking to benefit themselves in the friendship and or who are often causing problems in your life. It is good to stay away from those who cause drama.

I also think that fake friends will always look for benefit in the friendship and true friends does not.
