Friends In Number

Having a good friend is a way to appreciate life, to know that their is someone always there for you through the good times and the bad times. There will always be little fights and arguments with your good friends but eventually you forgive each other. To count on one good friend is better to have then a ton of friends you cant trust or depend on. A good friend should always be there for you when you need help or have a problem. People that aren't good friends are there to enjoy life and have a good time with you. Having a lot of friends is always nice but good friends should be in your life forever. Going places, laughing and having fun is what every friendship should have. As you get older your going to loose a lot of your friends but good friends you'll stay in touch with. People with a hundred friends don't seem unhappy, however it might accumulate problem's if certain people don't like each other in the group. People with good friends seem just as happy if no happier. Having a lot of friends is not a bad thing, it shows that you are a friendly and outgoing person. Picking and choosing your friends is important because you want to be able to trust your friends. A good friend should have the quality to always be there for you even i they might have difficulties or problems themselves at the time. I think people accumulate friends because friends are important to have. Accumulating friends shows that your a sociable person and like meeting new people which is always nice. People also accumulate more friends by going out to new place or going out a lot. Some people do it for more attention from others. Also because some people feel that the more friends they have are more important then what kind of friend they are. Usually your best times and good memories are with your good friends. I think people focus on one or two good friends because they have trust issues or are a bad friend themselves. Having a bunch of acquaintances is also nice but as they say keep your friends close but your enemies closer. I think the way i do about my friends because I've had many different friends since i was little and i am still friends with a few. That's how I know their good friends. They have always been there for me, we laugh together and have even went on many vacations together. The friends that I am not friends with anymore were not meant to be, it happens. Individuals with a smaller group of friends may be envied by those with a larger group of friends because having a trusted small group of close friends means more then having a large group of friends and acquaintances. Overall friendship is based on what you look for in a person. If you're a more sociable person a large group of friends might be better for you, where as if you are a more private person with large values in life most of the time you would be better off with a few good friends.
