Friends are important to have and keep. They are the ones who should be there when no one else is. We all have that one friend who fits in their own category. Whether they're the one who makes you laugh until you snort, or if they're the person you come to for advice, it's best to keep them close because you need them.

While some people prefer to have a large group of friends, others have a small circle they keep close to them. In this circle, there are certain friends you need.
