   Everyone has a best friend at some point in their life. That best friend may be a person: girl or boy, young or old, fat or skinny, tall or short, black or white, red or yellow. That best friend may even be a rock, a dog, or a toy. Everyone can attest to having someone or something (inanimate or animate) they love enough to call their best friend. But what goes into the making of a best friend?
  I say that it is different for everyone. For some people, someone who is a total jerk, belittles the person, uses them, but will listen to them, and keep their secrets is perfect. For others, it’s someone who will never tell them they are in the wrong, who won’t judge, and will follow them regardless of what path they are taking. For others, a friend is someone who will stand up for you, keep your back, and expect it in return, but they don’t support you, they don’t try to have you choose the right.
  In my opinion, a friend stands up for you and you stand up for them. A friend helps you get through hard times; and has your best path in mind. If you start making bad choices a true friend calls you out on your wrongs, and if you fail to correct them, will discontinue being your friend if the bad choices you make disagree with who they want to be known as. People (if they don’t know you) judge you to be like the people you hang out with. If you decided to get back on track, would support you and help you. An honest friend would keep your secrets. But what if that secret is something that you shouldn't be doing? I say a true friend wouldn't spread rumors, but tell them that they don’t think they should be doing that. Your best friend should be someone you LOVE. They should actually mean something to you. A friendship should never have one person above the other. Both should be supported in their hobbies, and should talk when talking needs to be done, and listen when listening should be done.
  I say that you shouldn't be looking for a whole flock of friends. Here's somewhat of a quote that I remember. If you spend all of your time trying to collect a lot of rocks, then you may find that you dropped some real diamonds on the way.
  Friends are a really important thing that should be treasured. But it's important to be able to judge if a friend is true or not. Some may seem like they are the best friend you could ever have; but if you’re not friends with other people, you never know if they really are!
