What Are Friends Are For?
By: Danica O. Bolicano

I’ve been in so many relationships, oops! Not a boyfriend or girlfriend relationship but a friendship. I can easily get along to other people, I’m so very friendly to the point that everyone seems to be my friend. Unfortunately I have this bad attitude that every time I have Barkada’s that seems to last forever, I can ruin my reputation and my attitude change. I’m so attach to them that the love I gave is really something more than friends but a love that is for a sister, maybe because I’m longing for a sister’s love that I can experience to them. My attitude change and they cannot understand and also myself that every time our friendship is going stronger, I am leaving them to the peak. With that attitude, I was left by so many friends that I thought will be last forever. These experiences made me realize that no one can accept my attitude and the way I love. I actually gave up having a friend because I know that they will just again leave and no one can ever understand me.
But then a group of girls came that their attitudes are very different to each other. I met them when I entered at Santa Isabel College. They were so friendly and easy to get along. This time, I became matured when it comes to have friends but then my bad attitude strikes again and I thought they will leave me just like my old friends. But, I was so wrong about it. They really are my true friends because they never leave my side and they correct everything in my life. I’ve finally overcome those bad attitudes that I have and I became stronger because of them. Believe it or not, I love my friends that I sometimes felt jealous for unknown reason and I know that they are not perfect that sometimes they are the reason why I’m sad and crying.
We have different attitudes but still we are click to each other that every time we are together through ups and downs, we can make it all and we are becoming stronger with the help of each

    Over the years that I’ve been at Burdick, I’ve gained many great friends, but I also lost a few. Only a few selective of them, I tell my secrets to. For example, Kaiden, Coreena, Dakota, Elysium, Joelle, Jose, and Isaiah. They’re the greatest friends anyone could ask for and have. They’re loyal, truthful, understanding, funny, witty, sarcastic, and just plain awesome. I have them to thank for making ordinary moments, extraordinary. They’re always there when I want to hang out or vent out my feelings. They put in that extra effort to understand me for who I am, not caring the slightest bit about my flaws and imperfections. And if I ever need to shed some tears, I know that at least one of them will be there to comfort me. There are times where…

    I had not seen my friends since the last school year, but none of my so called “friends” would even acknowledge me. Here I was again, scared out of my wits, at a new school, and looking for friends. I met new people and they took me in like a lost puppy looking for a home, one of them ended up living very near to me. Her name was Simi, she was very nice to me; I thought that Simi would actually be the friend for me. It turns out, I was wrong, Simi used me to get what she wanted and I was gullible enough to cave in to her demands. Later on in the year, I finally (after years of searching) found the perfect group of friends. They were amazing and they felt just like my friends back in Ardmore. From that group of friends, I found my best friend Elizabeth Helms, who is still my best friend…

    Bigelow and La Gaipa (1975) observed children’s friendships by asking a number of children to write an essay about their best friend using the approach called “content analysis”. William Corsaro however dictates that in order to study children you must study them in the context of their own peer culture, he used the “ethnographic approach”. In this essay I shall attempt to compare and contrast the approach used by Bigelow and La Gaipa (1975) and that taken by William Corsaro (2006).…

    In 1977, George Levinger, a successful psychologist who specialized in close relationships, conflict, and group behavior, examined interpersonal relationships and what is needed to make one successful. He defined a successful close relationship containing five components; 1) frequent interaction, 2) between spatially near partners, 3) who share significant common goals, 4) exchange personal disclosures, and 5) care deeply about one another. His definition of interpersonal relationships is one part social, one part physical, and three parts psychological. Although I agree with the components of his definition, I believe that in the world we live in today there are more factors that play a part in determining if the relationship is successful or not. In the frantic lives that we live in family, friends, and lovers are more important than ever and play a crucial role in everything from our development of self identity to self esteem, and the way that we cope with increasing stress in our lives. In addition to Levingers components of a close relationship there are so many other parts of our lives that influence our relationships, and with the technology that has been introduced to us an interpersonal relationship can now exist without having to be physically close to one another.…

    There were times in my live that I really did struggle with friendship interactions. I always have a deep feeling of caring for my friends and at times I can be emotional and not as rational when it comes to these relationships, especially following my trauma experience from my medical problems. The reason I do not have many friends at the moment is due to me always snapping at them for not always putting the effort into the friendship. For example, I might say that “You hardly ever talk to me” or “how come you cannot make plans for me when you do for others?” Whenever I tend point those things out to my friends they just either take it or snap back at me. This bothers me even more because my friends will just fall off the radar for a while…

    The first realization I came to was that friends are more than people I may occasionally see in passing, or at social events. Although these people may be friendly and fun to be around, I consider them acquaintances, not friends. Unlike an acquaintance, a friend is someone with whom I genuinely enjoy being around and can call upon other than just when a favor is needed. Real friends know one another’s birthday, favorite color, pets’ names, parents’ names, etc. True friends will do whatever is necessary to ensure they are involved in each other’s lives.…

    My second exciting type of my friends is caring friends. Two of their dominant traits are kind and sensitive. They know how to tell me what the problems are by the softest way. Last year, I got into a car accident. One of them came to see me right away after I called her. She had driven me to work and anywhere for two weeks. When my times are hard, they treated me kindly and helped me a lot. I will never forget another of my friends who had fed me for a couple weeks. I also borrowed her $200 at the time I had no job. However, she refused to take it back when I returned. This kind of friends is sensitive to my feelings, and they pay attention to me whether I am happy or sad. We often go out together for dinner or movie. As a result, they are delightful if I share or chat about my problems in my life.…

    “A friend is one that knows you as you are, understand where you have been, accepts what have become, and still, gently allows you to grow”- William Shakespeare. This quote reminds me of my two best friends Sendra and Susan. As a person, I hardly mix with people, maybe because I am very picky. However, when I first met them, something compelled me towards them. Even today I don’t know that reason but I’m happy I choose them as my friends. Even though they are my best friends, they are two different personalities. My two best friends have differences in their physical attribute, interests, and career choice.…

    “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 in my cousin’s house. McCorkle’s description of a “gold friend” describes a friendship that I have with a group of girls who mean the world to me.…
