THAT IS WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR

UNEDITED SAMPLE LITERARY ARTILCE
By Rayalyn Perlada Mongaya
IV - Enrico Fermi


“A friend who helps out when we are in trouble is a true friend—unlike others who disappear when trouble arises.“

Friends play an important role in a person’s life. They encourage when one is sad, they entertain when one is lonesome, and they listen when one has problems. Friends that grew up with would share the happiness and sadness one might has. However, friends that grew up with might not always be the best friends because they could faking it or been concealing some secrets. So, it is very important for one to recognize all the friends s/he has because good friends are hard to find. Good friends should not be measured only base on the time spent together. With good friends, one is able to have a more meaningful life. It is very difficult to have a definition of a good friend for everyone to agree upon. Since everyone has different personalities, friends one looks for could be very different. Usually when problems arise, people will most likely go to their friends for help. There is a friend that is very honest and would share almost everything; meanwhile, on the other hand, there is a friend that is very dishonest. With no doubts, one would not desire to have a blabbermouth person as a friend; except one wants to spread rumors around or wants to find out other people’s secrets. With good friends, people would have higher self-esteem, confidence and motivation. Usually, best friends are people that understand each other clearly. One would choose to share his/her secrets with the honest person. A good friend would listen and try to understand the issue that took place and is willing to lend a helping hand at any time. Also, friends should also be good listeners. At lease once in a person’s life, one would encounter a friend that likes to share secrets that belong to others with his/her friends.

Loyal is one of the main qualities one looks for when searching for friends. Friends have good communication and are willing to share both the good and bad times. So, it would be most comfortable to tell secrets to someone that is trustworthy. Teachers and parents are the second or third resource they go to. Trusts are gain by having trustworthy friends. Her friends should encourage her to continue to try and to think and act positively.

Friendship is not a state of mind, it is an act. It is something you do, it is not about whether you are good or not, it is not a reflection of you, it is a balanced relationship between people. That does not mean it is always balanced at every moment. Sometimes you “need a friend” and other times it is the other way. It is a trust that is returned.
