Are Friends Really That Important?


We all have that one pal that always sticks by our side. They help us and will always do that until they pass. However we do not always realize who that person is, and we are oftentimes blind to see them. I mean think about it, whenever you forget to push your chair after class, someone pushes it in for you or when you drop your pencil and someone picks it up for you.


It is important we acknowledge that one person or friend because when we stick with them they can continue to help you and you can help them. We should help everyone physically, mentally, and everything in between, because you never know when they might just be your future friend until the end.

Friends can help you get through bad times and make good things greater. Friends help you succeed and offer companionship boosting your mindset to reach your goals! I interviewed my good friend Jeremiah about what a good friend is, friendship and how to notice a good one. The interview went as follows.


Question 1. Why do you think friends are important?

“They are there for you, would always support you in the times of need, and when you need it most. So friends can honestly have a big impact on your life plus they help you get through things easily.”


Question 2. Do you think that friends aren't always noticed or that you don't see people that have potential to be your friends, yes or no

“Honestly it happens sometimes, if one friend gets attached to another friend and than next thing you know, you slowly start to forget that other friend and start moving on and start switching ways which can also cause some confusion between the two friends so, yes.”


Question 3. How do you think friends could influence you anywhere, positively or negatively?

“I would say that there are not many friends that influence, but most do because let's say a friend buys a new game and they want you to buy it because they think it is very beneficial and well they think it will be a good experience and that's where friends could tell others about what is currently happening or let them in the know or any suggestions.”


Question 4. How do you think a fight between friends could be prevented “I think this can be prevented by not influencing bad things by saying no I don't want to do this or like just simply telling them something that will refrain them from allowing them to manipulate your mind with any facts that are not true and/or bad that you shouldn't believe, like agree to disagree.


In conclusion friends can make, change, carry, help, and improve your very own life so have as many good friends as possible, and some say that 150 friends is the perfect number of friends.
