My Bestfriend....

Philippines
January 5, 2007 10:31pm CST
I have a bestfriend..She's like a sister to me..whenever im in hard situation she used to help me..But my parents and relatives dont like her a lot. She doesnt have a good reputation in our place..She use to be slot just to earn good money for her family..But her characteristic was good enough to be a good friend to me that is why i like her to be my best friend..Is it that reasonable that people should think that i am the same to her even i am working good here in our place? Many says that "Birds in the same feather, Flock together". Do you believe that saying?

i dont believe in it. As people have different character and traits. It doesnt mean that your bestfriend is doing job like that, your will compare to her. No of course, i guess its only those people who think bad, have close minds, that they judge that easily without knowing the person first personally. YOu know her better than anyone else, so you know what is right and wrong. I wish more people will be more open minded and dont judge other people. As this people have also feelings that will feel hurt when judge by somebody. Her situation is typically like those who make an effort and hardwork just to survive and for the love of family but i didnt mean im tolerating such kind of work. They just need a guidance for them to put on the right path.

The same situation happened in many cases. Just follow your heart's decision in continuing the relationship. I'm a person who considers/respects my heart's decision/wish. Have a good life dear!

Even I had a best friend but he was a guy and thats why people used to make stories about us...people think that a guy and gal can never be friends...I guess this is absolutely wrong

first of all, i'm glad you didn't judge your friend in the same manner others looked at her. i think your friend is blessed to have you. rarely do you find friendships that really work, often because we are too judgmental of our friends. and don't mind what others say -- about same-feathered birds flocking together and all that. in any relationship, you just have to close your eyes and ears to the outside world and listen and see with your heart.

If she is a good friend, don't listen to what other people say about your friendship.

well, it will really affect you coz as they say "tell me who ur friends are and i'll tell you who yoou are". but personally, i really don't mind what they think or say. as long as i'm not doing same thing with my freind then what they say doesn't affect me at all.

What matters is that she is your best friend, nothing else. I don't think anybody could replace her when you need some help. She gained her place just because of being what she is for you : a good friend that helped you. Nobody could help you as she can.

No , I do not believe in this saying. Just because you are friends with someone does not mean that you do what she might do. It also does not make her a bad person just because she has chosen to do something people don't agree with, to support her family. She sounds like a very good friend, you should keep her and don't listen to everyone else. What do they know anyhow?

your best friend is not liked by others ,this may be reason for them thier first impression on her is not good one and further when they see her they may get irritated but it is upon to you have her as a best friend. though i have a friend who liked that much by others but never hesitate to have him as my friend

I don't always think that saying is true. We usually are who we "hang out with", however she doesn't seem like a bad person. Granted her job is not morally correct, yet you said she did this to help her family. Sometimes desperation cause desperate measures. It is what is on the inside that counts. If she is there for you and not trying to get you into that lifestyle, then she is worth keeping as a friend. Ultimatly the decision is yours. Good luck!

I believe the saying "birs in the same feather, flock together". Now that you are good friends, dont mind what other people say about her. also, remember, people will not stay away from you just because they don't like your friend..these are two different things...
