What qualities define a friend? How much can you trust them, if you get along with them most of the time. Those are only two examples of what a good friend should be there are many more. People have a wide range of the type of friends that they have as well. Here is what a friend means to me.
There are many different levels of friends out there. Your best friends who you can tell anything in the world to your not so great friends that you don’t see or talk to often. It is always a good idea to have best friends because you can fall back on them when you have rough times, and have memorable times with them as well. If you are lucky enough to have a childhood friend that is something special. Growing up with someone as your friend puts that special bond between the two of you that can never be broken. Of course there are bad friends out there too. The ones that will share your secrets with others, and talk about you behind your back. This will happen to everyone so do not be worried.
As there are many different levels of friends there are also many different levels of trust. Who to trust with your secrets that no one else needs to know? Best friends of course because there is no one better. As for the rest of the friends how much trust is given should be dependant on if they have shown that they can be trusted.
