I wrote this awhile ago as a blog the follow as a blog. I thought that I woud post it so that people could think about it and hopefully post their opinions/thoughts.

Sometimes I wonder if we define words properly or just don't use them correctly. One word always pops up when I think about this. That word is friend. In my opinion, when you call a person a friend you are giving them a certain amount of trust and acknowledging the fact that you like to hang out and/or talk to them. A friend is a person that you can talk about your problems with and expect them to listen and help if possible, right? A person that you can tell your secrets to without fear of them being revealed to others. I often hear people call people friends that they don't even really know that well. I know that I have done that before. Some people will call others their friends and then stab them in the back or make fun of them. I might just be crazy and retarded, but I think that people should examine the people their friends more closely to see if they are truly friends or not. I know that I am going to. I suggest you do too. I question things too much. Oh well.

Sometimes you'll think that your friends with someone. But what if that person doesn't consider you as a friend? Maybe he/she just acts nice, but doesn't like you. So he/she stabs you in the back and you'll think: How can one of my friends do this. But that person doesn't like you at all and didn't think you considered him/her as a friend.

As for the article, I think it's nicely written. You've brought up some interesting things.

Yeah, I was thinking about what makes a friend a true friend last year because my younger sister had these punkish 'friends' who, imo, treated her like crap. I don't understand why she still hangs out with them.

I wouldn't know what a friend was really. I don't have that many people that I can call that these days. I almost want to cry sometimes because I have don't have anyone to talk to or anyone that really cares for me. New York is a cruel place for a kid like me to grow up in. Who needs friends anyways!!!

Well, I am sure you can make a lot of friends on the fourm DuckLover. ;)
It seems you already have a lot of things in common with another member here.

WEe don't have to act different around them to feel accepted becasue they accept you for who you are and what you are about.
