Friends

Friends are a major part of my life right now.  I would normally say oh a good quality in a friend is that they are nice to me, but really my friends and I are pretty mean to each other.  My friends need to be able to kid around with me.  They need to be funny and listen to me because I like to vent with my friends.  I think it is important to have a lot of close friends so that when you are mad at one you can go to another and not be lonely.  Ha is that kinda bad to say?  I think that it is true that it is important for them to be Christian so that they can build you up and pray for you when you need someone.  I also think that in order to be close friends you must hang out and spend a lot of time together, and that is why I don't have many friends that go to other schools.  I have some friends from other schools, but we don't share the closeness I have with my friends at OBA.  Most of my friends play the same sports as me and we spend a lot of time doing extracurricular activities together.  Being able to talk freely to them about anything and sharing your thoughts with them is really important in a friendship.  One thing I need to work on in being a good friend is not to take sarcastic comments too literally. My friends and I like to use sarcasm, but sometimes I let it go too far.  In conclusion, everyone's friends are different because everyone is different, but we should just rely on God that he will give us the people we need in our lives to be our friends.
