There are different kinds of friendships. Some include breakup friendships, and no trust friendships. I had several of that kind. Although, a few years ago I had a very strong friendship which I call the hard time friendship. Hard time friendships are having a hard time or difficulty that makes two people become friends. That is how I met my most trustworthy friend I've ever had, and to think of it, I would never been a true friend if it were not for that terrible tragedy. The date was August 3rd, 2012. I was in the 5th grade, and thought it was like every other day. Joy was upon me, because it was almost the end of the school week. I was not thinking any thought of my friend, Megan L., during that time. The Monday troop meeting a few days from that morning was when I started noticing. I did not think I would get emotional, but I did. It felt like World War 1 was happening again. Tears dribbled down my face, but turned into sobs. In this tear factor i felt hate, sadness, and depression all at the same time. I crawled in my mom's arms to sooth me. It helped, a little. That is when i thought. I can't just feel bad for her. I needed a plan because no one needs to go through something like that. This idea occurred and it would not stop because my creative ideas kicked in. there. The first step of my plan started when my mom told later that day that we should give her a get well gift. She suggested a flower basket, and I agreed like we had the same minds. I thought it sounded interesting, and fun because I never did something like this before. We looked online at many web sells, and there were ones that suited her, but I wanted one as awesome as her. After a long search of many web pages and web sites, we finally found one that wa... ... middle of paper ... ...ything was on my camera that she would want to see. As I ate my sandwich, I saw some twigs. I placed them in a certain way so it would read “Be well.” I took a picture of that to. Then after lunch we went on till we got to a beautiful scenery! You could see many mountains while the sun crosses it. Birds flews around the image. Cars looked like ants. That was one of the photos I took. After that trip I hoped Megan was ok after the surgery, and if she would live. There are different kinds of friendships. After this one I know how much they occur. Megan came out fine after the surgery. All she had to do was use a walker for a few weeks and everything would be good. I gave her the cards and scarf and she loves them. Now Megan and I are still friends and will always be. That is why I like hard time friendships the most. I can never tell when I get a new friend out of it.
Have you ever listened to a friend who has or is going through a hard time? Maybe she just came to you because she knew she could spill it all out, even if you thought she was just complaining. If you ever have, I hope it was done with empathy, and not apathy... Doing such a noble deed, indeed takes a caring friend.
From a young age, most people have gone through many relationships with other people who were not their family. Thus, we often acknowledge these relationships as friendships. But the word friend is too broad, so people categorize their friends into several types. In her book “Necessary Losses: The Lovers, Illusions, Dependencies and Impossible Expectations That All of Us Have to Give Up in Order to Grow”, Judith Viorst divided friendships into six types. Those are convenience friends, special interest friends, historical friends, crossroad friends, cross-generational friends and close friends.
A true friendship can last a lifetime, despite the changes that each friend may experience throughout their lives.
Friendship is like a flower. It must work hard to spread its roots to obtain nutrients, build a strong stem to maintain balance, and develop a bud to fight against the elements. All of these steps are important and a flower cannot bloom until each phase is complete. Much like the phases of friendship. Understanding human imperfection while spreading roots within a relationship gives the opportunity to find the important nourishment. Fighting against the urge of human prejudice verses self-sustainment creates a balance only maintained by a strong stem. And being exposed to the struggles such as losing a friend helps the bud battle against the elements. Although there are many obstacles, and torments to overcome the beauty from a bloom of friendship
Such experiences include “children, marriage, aging, death, birth, college” (West & Turner, 2016). With the lessons learned with friendships earned and lost over the duration of childhood, there may be some hesitancy on having a person becoming a potential friend in the future. People take things slow, take more time to know the person to determine if this will be either a meaningful friendship that would benefit both people or if it will be just a type of friendship which is just acquaintances and nothing more. There will be at times when that relationship will seem to wane or known as “Waning friendship…friendship intimacy bonds begin to decay; friends spend less and less time together” (West & Turner, 2016). This can happen for a number of reasons such as growing apart, different points of life for two individuals, and loss of interest. As adults, we have essentially categorized ourselves into business professional, student, relaxed, church, etc. Sometimes certain connections to certain circles don’t overlap with others because of the vast differences between them. It is perfectly normal to have casual friendships that don’t require constant meet-ups while other friendships are much closer and intimate because of a familiar
They fought with us for the boy we both liked in high school, and this caused to a cat-fight and friendship to end. Childhood friend, Mary, she had our backs and knew our most daring secrets but after she saw a better friend who gave tickets her to see her favorite band, she forgot all about us. The best friend that moved away to the United States with her whole family leaving our heart broken. In addition, Felicia, the hyperactive girl that was in kindergarten with us, who used to share all her food went to a different middle school and the friendship drifted
Friendships are so important. They have always been important; but it seems to be the most important in my opinion. We see how friendships play important roles throughout our life span. Friendships are defined and formed in each stage of life from infancy. These include early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, middle adulthood and late adulthood. Friendships grow from one stage to another. During this time friends become closer. Relationships start out as acquaintances and may stay like that for a period of time. An acquaintance is someone you know in passing. You may interact with this individual on occasion or on a regular basis. They are not your actual friend. They don’t fit in within the normal category of a friendship or relationship; just an acquaintance.
see my mum crying, I filled up with worry but the thought of what had
Friendship is a relationship that all the individuals can create by themselves. Though it is not a god gifted relationship like that of the relationship of a mother, father, sister, brother or any of the other family but still it is one of the best relations an individual can possess. People who have true friends consider themselves as the luckiest individuals on earth.
sometimes fall into the pattern of befriending people who will only betray and cause them
Friendship is the most wonderful relationship that anyone can have. Ideally a friend is a person who offers love and respect and will never leave or betray us. Friends can tell harsh truths when they must be told. There are four different types of friends: True friends, Convenient friends, Special interest friends, and historical friends. To have friendship is to have comfort. In times of crisis and depression, a friend is there to calm us and to help lift up our spirits.
Relationships, especially close and trusting relationships, are very important for the positive, social and psychological growth of the individuals involved in the relationship. In our world, people in close relationships desire physical contact, emotional support, acceptance, and love. These traits and feelings are part of human nature, and people strive for these types of interpersonal relationships in order to fulfill the void in people’s lives and, above all, to make sense of live through trust, sharing, and caring. During my high school experience, I have met many interesting people in the classroom, as well as in sporting events. I made many new friends in sporting events and during school. Although none of these relationship ever turned into an intimate relationship, each relationship had different turning points. Mark Knapp suggest that interpersonal relationships develop through several stages. My relationship with my best friend, Sisalee, has gone through the coming together stages initiating, experimenting, intensifying, and integrating.
It was in the beginning of 2010. I graduated to tenth grade, the senior year of the school. My emotions were driven by both anxiety and exultation. Since the final score in the tenth grade was a yardstick of our knowledge-gained and hard-work done throughout our schooling, all of us were concerned. However, the feeling of freedom after the tenth grade kept us elated. Those memories are quite vivid in my memory.
There is no real definition of friendship, because there’s no one way you can define it. Friendships can mean many different things, depending on the person. Friendship to you may be your boyfriend or your mom. To someone else it may be their cousin or someone they met on at school. It can take you a long time to consider someone your friend. Maybe you have to get to know them before you become their friend. Some people have had very bad experiences with friendships and may be scared to become friends with someone to fast. So it may take some time for some people to make friends. Maybe you can become friends with someone a couple of day after ya’ll meet. You may be one of the people who have never had any problems with friends, so you trust people more. Are maybe your someone who’s scared of being alone so you need friends there to help you cope with your fear.
Life is strange. I never thought that I would consider my one time enemy, my "best" friend. The first time I met my best friend was in the sixth grade. We both played on the same youth basketball team. We were both arrogant and bratty kids, who thought that the world revolved around us. With that much personality, problems were bound to happen. We made fun of each other and occasionally got into scuffles. Fortunately like all humans, we grew up and found a common bond that grew into a friendship.
