Friendship is one of the most precious gifts of life. A person who has true friends in life who support them in all situations are lucky enough. Friendship makes life a daring, pleasant and a sweet experience. Friendship can lead us to success or doom now that depends on how we choose our friends. True friendship is a feeling of love, caring and sharing. It is basically when someone understands, appreciates and accepts you the way they are. A true friend stands by you through thick and thin.  I myself have only three such friends who have stood by me through my thick and thin. True friendship knows no boundaries or demarcations of caste, creed and Sex(gender). Lasting friendship is indeed a blessing. Good friends are like great pillars of life.
Life can be sweet when you have a bff or a group of friends around to support you. We do think who we are or who the people around us are don't we?  But nowadays we more often think about the people who we think are our friends or soul mates are they actually what they show. Yes I do think this for a simple reason I have got betrayed many a times. No matter how old we get,  false friends can put deep scars on our hearts and big dents on our confidence. I have known this truth for as long as I have tried to make a friend or two, but each time I face it I feel a sting.  I have come across a lot of them. When a friend betrays you, it's like a hole has been ripped into your heart the place which belonged to those people who actually were never yours. 
We live in a world where it's a need to have friends and we can't live in isolation, even if we want to be away from them they don't let us live in peace. They make life a living hell just by giving us a tag of a simple five letter word that is LONER for them it's just a word with no feelings but for the ones who are called by that word what about them? 
Some people think that they are cool. Just because they make fun of teachers, bunk lectures or abuse students who aren't like them doesn't make them cool. Not only this but there are some people who don't like a particular quality of yours, but then they don't come and tell that to you, in fact you will get to hear that from a third person. 
Some students are quite good at politics right from the age of 14. These young politicians make groups and make a particular person who they have grudge against feel unwanted. The feeling of being unwanted is pretty much distracting. I myself feel unwanted in my class. They remember me only when they want something otherwise who cares.
Today hardly anyone has real friends, the ones who have don't care. People who promise to stay by your side till the end are usually the first ones to leave, because they are the ones who never intended to stay. 
Many people have two faces they act nice to your face and then talk bad behind your back. Benjamin Franklin said A FALSE FRIEND AND A SHADOW ATTEND ONLY WHEN THE SUN SHINES  fake friends are always there in your brightest moments, but nowhere to be seen at your darkest hour. Fake friends want you to do well but not better than them. Fortunately I'm blessed with three angles, and I don't want to lose them and I'll make sure our friendship lasts forever.
