I grew up a lonely child. Best friends had no significance to me, moving around left me with no time to grow attached to someone. Very rarely I would have the courage to call someone a best friend. Even when I finally had someone to call a best friend, the moving trucks would reappear starting the dreadful process with a beginning. Reaching my fifth grade year I shuddered believing the same thing would happen, but this time I grew unexpectedly attached to someone.
To describe this person would be the entire essay itself, but the most simplest explanation would be she was incredibly unique. I encountered many people, but meeting her was like stepping into a new world. The most surprising fact about her was that she was not afraid to be herself, her crazy ideas and the weirdest of jokes many people would be embarrassed by but she embraced all of it while being top of the class. People would complain, I was too much of a teacher 's pet or I would get picked on because I was the new kid, but not her. She embraced being a teacher 's pet, she helped me with many of insecurities, and soon after I had someone I could genuinely call a best friend, someone that I could trust

Slowly our friendship started growing again and we started having monthly visits again. Although we rekindled our friendship we were no longer best friends, and that still saddens me every now and then. Time changes people in both good and bad ways. The same person that had taken me out of the shadows and transformed me into a little social butterfly had become severely depressed. Entering her new school she was bullied by the people she called her friends, she no longer trusted people and when I initiated the argument that led to us not speaking for a year her situation became much worse. It was not until recently she started opening up to me about the feelings she had bottled up for years that she was finally able to
"Someday, I will have a best friend all my own. One I can tell my
She honestly cares about all her students and makes the effort to learn about them as well. She made me actually enjoy going to her class, despite it was on a Thursday night. In addition, I didn’t mind doing all her assignments because
She was the most caring and dedicated teacher I ever had and she respected every student as an individual. On the other hand, she had a very negative influence on my life. She is the person who told me there was no Santa Clause, which ruined Christmas for me for a very long time. Another person who has had a great influence on my life is Mr. Robinson. He was my first band teacher. He is the person who convinced me to join band, which
Throughout life, you lose friends and you gain friends. Everyone should be able to relate to that. Like in August’s life, things change. He finds new friends, like Jack and Summer, but he looses friends, like his dog Daisy. His is life changes, but it changes for the
She doesn’t know this, but she changed my life. She was there for me when it seemed like no one else was. When most of my friends were dissolving around me and I just didn’t feel like I could do anything right, she was there, and she made everything seem okay. It didn’t matter that I was inevitably going to graduate with a GPA a tenth of a point lower than I wanted, or that my director told me that he was disappointed in me because I just didn’t seem focused lately, or that my other friends just weren’t talking to me anymore. It didn’t matter because she was there and she made me feel safe. She’s my best friend, and I love her and admire her for so many different reasons.
I was joined by an old friend and she was my whole world. She became my best friend, but recently she wasn't being very nice. She ignored me a lot and interrupted me when I was talking to another friend. I didn't know what was going on at home with her and maybe I wasn't being the nicest, but I did know that I was upset. However this was one of those things that is only for a couple of weeks. We got out of our funk and everything is fine between us
“The silver friend knows your present and the gold friend knows all of your past dirt and glories. Once in a blue moon there is someone who knows it all, someone who knows and accepts you unconditionally, someone who is there for life.” This is a quote I read once in an article by Jill McCorkle. I wrote it down and posted on my wall. McCorkle’s description of a “gold friend” describes a friendship that I have with a group of girls who mean the world to me.
"Friendship" is defined in Webster’s Dictionary as, the state of being friends, or a friendly feeling. Friends, on the other hand, are defined as people whom one knows well and is fond of. The second definition states a friend as an ally, supporter, or sympathizer.
In the beginning, once I found that one friend I thought would always be there and never turn his back on me, had been my best friend since head start, but then took me for granted and did not even acknowledge my existence anymore. That one friend I trusted with everything in me, the one I told my problems to and got advice to fix them, had jolted my right in the back. He just disappeared and left me with nothing but memories of us being together. Those things that happened made me turn my back even though I viewed him as a true friend, even more, a brother. I could not even believe in the least bit that he would do this to me, but as time went on, I changed and kept asking myself if it is for the best to forget about it. Although I did not know why he did such a thing that would lead up to us not communicati...
I was so used to having girlfriends that I could call when I just wanted to have girl talk that I didn’t realize the effect it would have on me when it was gone. My summer was spent with my boyfriend and my boyfriend and my boyfriend alone. With the feeling of being lonely, I started trying to reestablish old friendships that I let fade into the grey as years passed by. Doing so, I started talking to my current best friend. We bonded over the same issue and from there we’ve been inseparable. As our friendship grew stronger the sad feeling I had from losing my former friend began to fade away faster and faster. It has gotten to a point where it’s all just a memory now.
Although relationships with parents determine in large measure our longer-term preferences, attitudes and values, during adolescence it is often relationships with friends that cause most concern and which pre-occupy the thoughts of young people as they grow up.
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.
Good friends are wonderful. They're there to support you and to help you. They make you laugh and feel good. I'm lucky, I have three very good friends. Sure, I have lots of other friends. But these three people, I would take a bullet for.
Growing up in school you have your friends in 1st, then in Jr. High, and then when you get to high school you might not even know or see your friends from 1st grade anymore. For the few people who’s had a friend from 1st grade till college I think that someone they need to hold on to because if they stuck with you through all them year I know they’re there for the right reason and there not just there for a season. As Elizabeth Dunphy says, “It’s the little things that matter, that add up in the end, with the priceless thrilling magic found only in a friend.”
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.
