It is 2017, we all know, this year my vision to write about many different interesting topics. Last year in 2016, I know that some of us gained or lost some friendships. This article will cover what a true friend is. “A true friend is someone that is always there for you unconditionally and tell you what you need to hear but don’t always want to hear it,” said Tyriah. “A true friend someone who you can trust and can party with.” Isabelle said. These two girls believe that is what a true friendship is. But what is really a true definition of a friendship?
Friendship is a person who you can talk to about everything and anything and they won’t go behind your back to tell someone else. In elementary school when you did not know any better you would say every person you talked to was your friend. I know I am not the only one who said that. As you get into middle school you develop more of a better understanding on who are your real friends and who are not (sometimes). As you get to high school you really find out because it hits you when you are a freshman your “friends” fade away and go with other people.
What makes a true friend? A true friend is someone that you can trust when you go out together they will be loyal enough to know right from wrong. For example they know it is wrong to steal, but they do it anyway and let you take the blame without any responsibility there own actions for there conquense. A true friend takes ownership for what he or she does. Every action causes a reaction. Friends are there for each other no matter what! A friend would not ask for money and not pay you back before asking for more. A friend doesn't text you when they need you, but talks to you on a regular daily bases. That is a true friend.
Who is your true friend? Well that is easy God is a true friend because he never fails us! God is always someone you can talk to and trust forever. Your parents are your true friends because they're the only ones that can never leave your side no matter what because they are your parents they need to know what is wrong and right in your life. God is always a true friend as he says “Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” - 1 Corinthians 15:33. So if not your family, pick the friends that will lead you down the right path and not the wrong one. Don’t choose friends that pressures you into doing things that you are not supposed to do. If they do that then guess what? They are not your friends.
Lastly just remember who are your true friends. You learn each year. I have to remember sometimes that I should not call them my friends, but call them acquaintances. An acquaintances is someone you know, but you only have a minor level of relationship with them. You probably do not have any intimacy with them aside from sharing some very shallow sorts of facts about your life. So remove all the negativity in life with those who you call “friends” by letting them go because a FRIEND keeps positivity in your life. That is what you call a friend.
