Friends

Having friends is one of the best experiences in life because you have those people who you know care about you and what you have to say. Friends are a huge part of high school because without friends it would be extremely lonely. It depends on the person whether you want to have three close best friends or a hundred “kind of” friends. Some people prefer one way to another, but no matter what your preference it is important to have friends.
In my opinion, I would prefer to have three best friends as opposed to a huge group of “kind of” friends. With just a few best friends I know I can trust them with my life. I can tell them anything and I know they would not judge me for it. It is also easier to hangout with fewer friends and there is less of a chance that people will talk about you behind your back. Especially when it comes to girls if you have a big group of friends it is very likely that when your not around they are talking about you. I’m not saying it is bad for people to have a huge group of friends, but in my opinion it is easier. You would not be able to have the connection with ten different people that you could have with one or two people you can call your best friends. Although I would prefer to have just a few best friends, I also like to be in a big group too. If I’m at a party or a football game I would be willing to talk or hangout with anyone. I like to hangout in big groups too, but I would not tell everyone in a group everything about my life. I do not trust many people and those few that I do trust know everything about me.
There are certain people who seem to have hundreds of friends. Some people prefer to have a lot of friends, but others need a lot of friends because they are insecure. If someone has a lot of friends it could make them feel better about themselves and make them feel more popular. I’m not saying there is anything wrong with that, but that is just how some people are. On the other hand, there are people that are perfectly happy with having one or two friends and not talking to anyone else. Everyone has a different view on friends and it depends on the person and their situation.
I feel the way I do about friends because even though I know and talk to a lot of different people in school I only have three best friends. I like having my three close friends, but still being able to hangout with other people if I wanted to. Some of my friends that do not go to the same school as I do i only see once or twice a year and even though we don’t see each other that often I love hanging out with them once in a while. I love my life the way it is having my few close best friends and also having some friends that are not as close, but if I had to chose I between them I would of course choose my best friends because I would do anything for them and I could not imagine my life without them.
