A Very Good Friend...

"Friends are like diamonds, precious and rare, false friends are like pebbles, found everywhere."-Thanks Aidy!

In kindergarten your idea of a good friend was the person who let you have the red crayon when all that was left was the ugly black one...


"A precious thing , Not to be taken for granted..."



In primary school your idea of a good friend was the person who went to the bathroom with you; held your hand as you walked through the scary halls; helped you stand up to the class bully; shared their lunch with you when you forgot yours on the bus; saved a seat on the back of the bus for you; knew who you had a crush on and never understood why.
In secondary school your idea of a good friend was the person who let you copy their social studies homework; went to that "cool" party with you so you wouldn't wind up being the only freshie there; did not let you lunch alone.
In pre-university your idea of a good friend was the person who gave you rides in their new car; convinced your parents that you shouldn't be grounded; consoled you when you broke up with Nick or Susan; found you a date to the prom or went to the prom with you (both without dates); helped you pick a university and assured you that you would get into that university; helped you deal with your parents who were having a hard time letting you go.
On the threshold of adulthood your idea of a good friend was the person who was there when you just couldn't deal with your parents; assured you that now that you and Nick or you and Susan were back together, you could make it through anything; just silently hugged you as you looked through blurry eyes at 18 years of memories; and reassured you that you would make it in university as well as you had these past 18 years; and most importantly sent you off to university knowing you were loved.
Now, your idea of a good friend is still the person who gives you the better of the two choices, hold your hand when you're scared, helps you fight off those who try to take advantage of you, thinks of you at times when you are not there, reminds you of what you have forgotten, helps you put the past behind you but understands when you need to hold on to it a little longer, stays with you so that you have confidence, goes out of their way to make time for you, helps you clear up your mistakes, helps you deal with pressure from others, smiles for you when they are sad, helps you become a better person, and most importantly loves you!


Thank you for being a friend.
No matter where we go or who we become, never forget who helped us get there.
There's never a wrong time to pick up a phone or send a message telling your friends how much you miss them or how much you love them.

What Friendship Means To You?

Many people will walk in and out of your life.

But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.


To handle yourself, use your head;



To handle others, use your heart.



Friends Anger is only one letter short of danger



If someone betrays you once, it is his fault;



If he betrays you twice, it is your fault.



Great minds discuss ideas;



Average minds discuss events;



Small minds discuss people.



He, who loses money, loses much;



He, who loses a friend, loses much more;



He, who loses faith, loses all.



Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,



But beautiful old people are works of art.



Learn from the mistakes of others



You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.



Friends, you and me…



You brought another friend…



And then there were 3…



We started our group…



Our circle of friends…



And like that circle…



There is no beginning or end…



Yesterday is history.



Tomorrow is mystery.



Today is a gift.



That is why it is called the present.



(-: Don’t make them disappointed!

Friends are special & should be treated with kindness & respect.



Friends should be trusted & never accused.



Friends should be treasured .



Does friendship mean never having to say you're sorry, or truely feeling sorry when you have made your friend feel bad?



Friendship is not a thing of convenience.



You never abuse your friends, you protect them.



Friends keep secrets.



Friends make you feel secure, not insecure.



Friends are a part of your family.



Friends care.
