Friends. Something that everyone should have. Friends can be there for you, when you are sad, upset, or just need someone to talk to. A friend is basically someone who is more then an aquaintence. Someone you know, talk to often, and do things with. People with friends are more likely to be happier. They won't be lonely and they will not have to sit in the shadows and watch everyone have a good time, while they are miserable. Why? Because they will have friends.

The number of friends that you should have is depended upon what kind of person you are. You can either have a large group of friends, or a small one. For me, I would have to say that it would be a lot easier to have a smaller group of friends.

Now I'm not saying that you HAVE to have a small group of people you do things with. Have as many as your heart desires. The amount of frineds you have is up to only YOU. Me, my friends consist only of a small group. These aren't the only people in the world I talk to or anything, they are just the people that I feel most comfortable with. I beleive that when someone has a smaller group of friends, then they will have more time on their hands. For school-work, and other important things. With a group of large friends, it seems like there is ALWAYS something going on. Your frineds will then want you to go along, and doing so, you will not get anything done.

Friends are like flowers. It would be nice to have an entire garden full of them. However, with so many, some might not get the nutrition they need, so they will wilt and fade away. Friends and flowers is a very good comparison. It may seem good to have a very large amount of them, but with so many, you may accidentally neglect some of them, and lose thier friendship.

So listen well. When choosing your group of friends, don't choose too many. Also remember to choose people who you feel comfortable around. If you do not feel comfortable around someone, then it is no use in becoming their friend. People need to like you for you, and only that. If not, they won't be a very food friend to you.

Think about what I have said when choosing how large a group of friends you want. A small amount will be easier to manage, and a large amount may dry up and wither away from lack of attention. People want a large group, just to say they know a lot of people. But are these people really friends? That's for them to decide.

You can know a lot of people, and still have a small group of friends. You do not have to be a close friend of someone, you can just be an aquaintence.

Choose your true friends with your heart, and make sure you will be able to pay attention to them all, so none of them wither away and their friendship dies. With a small group of friends, this is much easier to do.
