The friends that I used to have were very unreliable, trusting them was more work than it should have been. Seeing how they treated others around them made me change my opinion about them. To this day I am still friends with Carla, my other friends and I don’t talk anymore. Friends who you can trust and rely on without thinking are the people that you should strive to be around. Choosing which friends to trust, and to not trust is a tiring thing to do, but you should always choose someone who you know would stick up for you no matter the…
It takes something very immense to show who your real friends are. It could range from a moment of drama where a friend stays by your side, to sitting bed side by your friend in critical conditions. I learned how to be the person who shows their true side in these situations. By doing so, I have been brought closer to many people who will now return the favor when my time of need comes. Always remember to ask the question, “Who will be there for me?” when you pick friends to bring into your circle.…
Charles Darwin was quoted in 1842 describing the Belize Barrier Reef as "the most remarkable reef in the West Indies" (Encyclopedia). This description still holds true today. The Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System, which includes the Belize submarine shelf and its barrier reef is the world's second largest barrier reef system and the largest reef complex in the Atlantic-Caribbean area (Programme-wo, 2009). What makes a reef like the Belize Barrier Reef system so special is that coral reefs are the most diverse of all wetlands and are home to more species than any other marine ecosystem (Wells). Also the reef system offers more varieties of coral formation than anywhere else in the Caribbean (Encyclopedia). For people to appreciate and understand the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve system, they need to know about the many species that call this place home, the threats against the preservation of the reef, and what is being done to protect and preserve the reef. Once this happens my hope is more people will become involved in the safeguarding of this wonderful place.…
One minute you have a lot of friends, and the very next minute you only have one or two. As you get older you end up losing a lot of friends but you gain the knowledge of who your true friends are. Those friends who have stuck by your side through the ups and the downs are your life long friends.…
In our modern world we categorize true friends into a group of individualistic people. They are viewed as someone who will always be there to lean on, someone who will listen to your dilemmas with a deep insight, and in return, give you a response that is free from criticism. True friends are loaners of shoulders to cry on, an answer to a bad day that needs healing, and people who carry the identity that they are willing to give up anything for their companion.…
The first quality of being a good friend, is you need to be loyal to your other friends. A loyal person never spreads rumors about his/her friend. If you told your friend your secret and you told him/her to not tell anyone, they will not tell his/her own friends about your secret. One day, you might make a promise to one of your friends and say that you and you friend will not break that promise. A loyal person doesn't talk any negative things about you or anything that might hurt your feelings. For example, in the story they promised to each other that they will box like they have never seen each other before. If you always talk about bad things about your friend with other people you know, you are not a good friend. Eventually your friend will know that you are talking about them and they will most likely not want to be your friends anymore. It is very unlikely that they will…
An honest person is fearless and truthful and honesty is most the important feature in a friendship. An honest person is trusted and respected in the society. He keeps his head high within its social circle and his character is as bright as a sharp sword. It is said, 'honesty is the best policy'. Honesty leads one to morality and purity of character. A dishonest person is disbelieved and hated by all. Dishonesty is a sin which comes out sooner or later. If we are dishonest with are friends, the life of the dishonest person becomes miserable, as he loses all faith, sympathy and support of the his friends and everyone starts getting against him.…
What a true friend is not is also really important, some people think a true friend is one that barely talk to you unless they need something. If you think someone is your true friend look at how they treat you if they call you out on your flaws or the way you dress they probably aren’t a true friend or a friend at all for that matter. If you do have a friend that you are always with but the conversation is always about them then the friendship is not a real one. If someone makes you feel bad about yourself its probably best if you stop talking to them. If your friend is talking behind your back and saying rude nasty comments that’s when you know the friendship is fake.…
The reason i say this is because when i am loyal to my friends and family, i expect to receive the same amount of loyalty back. Your true friends would not backstab you or talk behind your back. They will always be by your side no matter what and they would never stop being your friend. These friends are the hardest to find nowadays since everyone is always leaving eachother in the end. It is hard to find a friend that will stay by your side through hard times.…
The word friend means exactly what it is, just a word. The pure substance behind the word no longer bares any true meaning and feeling behind it. I have learned to limit the use of the word and can only call a select few a true friend. Growing up I thought I was popular because I had so many friends. However little did I know that instead of calling these people friends, I should have substituted the word for acquaintances, or in the future outlook of it all, maybe even enemies. A friend is supposed to be there for you through thick and thin. Friends stick by your side no matter what and have your best interest in hand. There for, these people I considered friends, were not my friends, but bad influences.…
People say it’s hard to find a true friend- they are right because not everyone you know is your friend. Friendship is something important to me because I need someone to talk with. A friend to me is someone who is there for me no matter what, does not turn their back on me, they accept me for who I am, they care about me, I can trust them, we enjoy each other’s company, and we have fun together. Everyone needs a friend. Friends are like stress relievers, and they don’t judge, they see who we are and nothing else. I believe friendship is not perfect. There are always going to be flaws.…
A good friend gives more than what is asked of her. When she sees a need, she responds before the other has a chance to ask for help. She doesn’t expect anything in return. A good true friend shares her time if you need help with a project or a goal, she is there. She shares her knowledge on how to successfully complete the project, or she may even offer a few words of wisdom. When you’re between a rock and a hard spot, she gives you her assistance. It might be to loan you money. Also, she shares her possessions, such as a simple screwdriver to finish the project. It might be more complicated such as the loan of a beautiful dress to go on that special…
Friendship is a wonderful term describing love, care, and faithfulness. Nevertheless, friends come in various kinds. Some carry good intentions who describe real friends while others hold bad intentions who describe friends of interests. Only tough life experiences will help you distinguish between your real friends and those fake ones.…
One characteristic of a bad friend is someone who is selfish. Somebody that always wants help from their friends but is never willing to help others when asked isn’t really worth the trouble. These kinds of friends will mislead their own friends in order to get what they want out of them. Friends like this will steal from their friends if they think they can get away with it. They will also put down their friends in order to feel superior to them; and they won’t support their friends’ choices to better themselves.…
A bad friend doesn’t have a problem lying to you or telling people your personal information. They have a negative attitude, they’re only there for you during good times, and they encourage you to do things that could get you in trouble instead of encouraging you to do things that will reflect positively in your life. A lot of the time with a fake friend you feel uncomfortable like they will be judgmental. Silences are awkward so you feel the need to strike up conversation with them, sometimes you feel as though your relationship is all one sided like you are making all the effort. They make up rumors weather they are true a real friend wouldn’t put you through the emotional pain with drama, often you agree with them no matter how you feel just to keep things civil.…
