Friends

I have a friend who is so amazing! She doesn't know or admit how cool she is, but I notice how she acts and how kind she is to everyone. She is never mean to anyone. She always has something nice to say to people. It is amazing to me how she always seems to be happy and in a good mood. When I am sad or feeling down I know that I can just call her and she will make me feel better. She doesn't care what people think about her. She won't not be friends with someone because they aren't "cool." She will give up something she wants, because another person also wants it. Sounds pretty cool huh? Don't you wish you could be more like her? I do!

My friend always finds time to help me with my homework. It is nice having a friend who is DANG smart. When I call her on the phone asking her to explain something to me she always does. I would hate it if I were really smart and I had my friends calling me 24-7 so I could explain the math to them. My friend is a true friend! How many of you can say you have a true friend. Can you say that you are a true friend? What makes a true friend? You don't have to be like my friend,(who is basically perfect), to be a true friend. I think that when it comes right down to it, to be a true friend all you have to do is be honest. If you are a true friend you will never EVER say anything mean about your friend. Your friends will trust you to stick up for them and not turn on them. When you are around a true friend you don't have to worry about being cool or impressing them. Your friend will like you even if you say something stupid or you look like you have been in a hurricane.

I have a friend who I met in eighth grade and we clicked. We were the best of friends! We liked exactly the same things and we had very similar personalities. Whenever we were together we had a blast! After we had been friends for about a semester she stopped being nice to me. Actually she didn't stop being nice, she started making my life miserable. I would come home and cry because she made me feel so bad. This girl turned almost my whole group of friends against me. You might not know it but girls are mean! And it is possible for one person to make another person's life miserable. I got over it, made new friends, and moved on. In 9th grade she was really nice to me. It was weird, she acted as if nothing had ever happened. We are now friends. I have several classes with her. I will however never trust this person. I will never be let myself become close to this person again. Even though this person and I have worked on projects together and I would call her my friend, I know that she is not a true friend. My first friend I know I could trust with anything. She will always be my friend no matter what.
