Importance of having good friends

Recently, I've been thinking about how beautiful a real friendship can be and how important it really is. Friends are extremely important and friendship is major part of our lives, especially for us teens! 

Friendship is a relationship that all individuals can create by themselves. For me it is like the biggest god given gift. People who have true friends consider themselves as the luckiest individuals on earth. We make friends because they are useful but the bond of friendship, once it grows stronger and stronger has a number of positive aspects.

Every friend is important and their importance in known to us when certain situations arise which can only be solved by our friends. One can never feel lonely in this world if he or she is surrounded by true friends. On the other hand, loneliness prevails in the lives of those who do not have friends despite of billions of people present in the world. It has been truly said that “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”

Friendship is a beautiful bond by all means but while making friends, it is essential to keep in mind that one should always be aware so as to differentiate between true friends and false friends.

There is lot of pressure that we all face in our day to day life, like work overload, parental tensions, etc. Friends are the one who just help alleviate some of these pressures. Medical researchers have found that those who have friends lead their life happier, healthier, and longer than those who don't. True friends are committed and stand by your side even in the rough phases of your life.

False friends on the other hand are truly examined only when difficulties knock your door. Most of them show you their back and join hands with either your enemies or with other successful people. One should always try to maintain a distance from false friends. False friends are those who support you in times when you are rich and famous. As soon as fame and riches leave you alone, false friends also act as if they do not know you; you become stranger in their eyes. It has been said that only a difficult situation in life can make individuals realise who their true friends are and who their false friends are.

Choosing proper friends is a bit difficult task but not impossible. We should have a group of friends who are disciplined. This is essential because of the reason that we start becoming like the people we hang out with most. True friendship is as a matter of fact a blessing enjoyed by a few. People who are lucky enough have a group of amazing friends who support them in facing all the hardships and adversities of life. Having a single good friend helps an individual to overcome all the hurdles in his or her lifetime. On the other hand if an individual does not have a single good friend life automatically turns hard. Securing true friendship is extremely essential to become successful in all the areas of life. I pray that everyone everywhere is surrounded by at least one or two good friends throughout their life.
