Topic "Friendship" with questions

Friendship

Friendship is extremely important for every person because everyone needs communication and understanding. A friend is one with whom you spend your free time, share your thoughts and interests, who keeps your secrets, whom you trust and who is always ready to help.       
         People usually become friends when they have much in common, when they have much to tell each other, when they trust each other and rely on each other.
        Friends know that they can turn to their best pals when they are in trouble, because their buddies will give them a hand when they can’t cope with a problem themselves.
        If you feel depressed your friend will hang out with you to amuse you, to cheer you up and have a laugh with you.
        The most important feeling that exists between friends is trust. It never appears from nowhere, it’s a result of communication, support in difficult situations, long-lasting friendship. Respect is also very important. It means that you don't criticize your friend's lifestyle, you always try to understand him, discuss problems with him and explain to him your feelings and emotions. 

It’s not easy to make friends. It’s also very difficult to stay friends for years. You have to work at it. If you want to be a friend you should think carefully before you say something to people and think twice before you do anything. You should be mindful of how your words may affect people.

Nowadays teenagers have many virtual friends in contact or Facebook. I can’t name those friends real ones. Friends in social networks can have much in common, but virtual friendship can’t replace real communication when you spend time together.

Nowadays people prefer to have more money than many friends. They say that a person with money can afford everything and can solve any problem. I am sure that money can’t buy you real friends. And there are really such situations when you need friends and their emotional support more than money.
