Friends.

Young, Dumb & Broke

Realizing that it's the last paper of SPM .

  Hey guys ! So as in this blog, it's just a flashback of  the compulsory secondary school life and obviously friends in it too. What I've learned during that period of time is that, choosing the right friends are truly important. That's mainly because you're gonna see them on a daily basis, duhh. 

  Friendship should be something easy to understand. There is someone in your life who you talk to on a regular basis, share your feelings with, and they return the favor. However, it's so hard these days to figure out who is a friend and who is not. Sometimes, who you think is your best friend ends up stabbing you in the back. On the opposite end, some friendships can come from people you least expect.

What Is A Friend?

A friend is someone other than your family or lover that you share close affection with. You share kindness, sympathy, empathy, compassion, common interests, common beliefs, loyalty, and fun with them. They can be in person or online.

Friend Vs. Acquaintance

What is the difference between a friend and an acquaintance? An acquaintance is a person who you talk to on occasion, but the friendship bond is just not there. Maybe it would be there if the two of you talked more, but odds are, the person is someone who is nice and good to talk to on occasion, but the bond doesn't happen. They won't be the person you talk to when problems are happening. They aren't going to be the person you see yourself spending a lot of time with. Maybe they're a friend of a friend who you tolerate whenever they're around.

Signs of a good friend

Always There For You

A good friend will always be there for you, no matter what your situation is. They aren't going to run away because you lost money, or because you moved further away. Friends know that life throws many trials, and they will stick through those trials to the end.

Listens And Keeps Secrets

A good friend is someone you can tell your secrets to, and you know they won't gossip. When you say, "promise not to tell anyone," they won't tell anyone.

You Feel Good With Them

A good friend will be one who you enjoy spending time with, and no matter how much you hang with them, it always seems to end too soon.

You're Empathetic With Them

If something bad happens to your friend, you feel bad as well, even if you were not directly affected. Friendship needs empathy for it to work. A friendship where friends are not taking into consideration of each other's feelings is not a good friendship.

Signs of a bad friend

The User

Some so-called friends only want you when they need something. Be it a ride, money, or any other need. They became friends conveniently around the time when you had good fortune, and once life goes down the drain for you, there are nowhere to be found.

Don't get us wrong. Friends should be helping one another. The key word is one another. If the help is one-sided, this may be a sign that you're being used.

The Trash Talker

If your friend is always talking trash about their other friends to you, then don't think you're an exception. Once you're not within earshot, they are probably talking trash about you.

Everyone has said something about someone else they won't say to their face. Sometimes, the truth hurts, and we're afraid to hurt our friends. However, if this friend is always talking trash, and not even making any good criticisms, they may be a bad friend. Speaking of criticisms…

The One Who Can't Take Criticism

As friends, the two of you should help each other. And one of the ways you should help someone is sometimes to give them a pill that's hard to swallow. A good friend will take the criticism to heart, while a bad friend may get aggressive and perhaps cut you out of their life when you say something they don't want to hear.

“Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.”
