What's your idea of a true friend?

Do You Have True Friends?
Keri Leigh Ratcliff

What is your definition of a true friend? My ideal true friend is someone who I can talk to about anything, I can be myself around this person, they are always willing to talk and hang out not just when it's convenient for them or just because they need something, my ideal true friend is someone who doesn't use me because I can do things they can't. I have went through several "best friends". These friends are the ones that are only around long enough for them to get something out of it and once they get what they needed they stop talking to you. It really hurts when someone you thought was your best friend doesn't talk to you but can talk to everyone else doesn't it? People will always claim they're your friend when they really aren't. Even little kids are willing to be friends with everyone. so why can't we be that way to? There are certain people in your life that can be considered your true friend.

1. Your parents.

My mom has always been here for me no matter what. She's always willing to listen and give me advice. I have my step dad who is willing to buy me anything I want and take me any where I need to go.

2.Your grandparents.

I have the two most craziest grandparents ever! They are always willing to make me pancakes and help get me out of trouble. God.. God has given us the best advice of all time in the Bible. The information we get from God in the Bible is advice we need to hear. He loves us no matter what.

3.God-siblings.

I have the best god brother of all time! He is so sweet and kind hearted. He can always be seen smiling and is a good song leader.

4.Church family.

I have god parents at church that I know I can rely on no matter what. I have friends at church that I know I can always go to if I need a laugh.

5. Those who you have tons of stuff in common with.

I have great friends now that I'm in college who are in band with me. They are always there for me and can always make me laugh even when I'm extremely tired. Nobody needs a part time friend! People we thought were our best friends will start acting different.

Sometimes we will get looked at strange for not going along with the crowd, get made fun of and looked at get talked about. There is a song that we often sing at our church called Where No One Stands Alone. This song always reminds me that yes I get to where all I want to do is cry at times but I am not alone and neither are you. We truly have a friend in Jesus. No matter how bad things get and how much you feel like you have no one to turn to you always have God.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
