What is the meaning of the word friend?
As in the dictionary:
A person whom one knows, likes, and trusts.
A person whom one knows; an acquaintance.
A person with whom one is allied in a struggle or cause; a comrade.
One who supports, sympathizes with, or patronizes a group, cause, or movement: friends of the clean air movement.
Friend A member of the Society of Friends; a Quaker.
Now see a friend to me means so much more then that, a friend to me is a person I would count on and a person I would expect to count on me. But as I grow older I find through out my whole life, as friends have come and gone, very few people value friendship like they should. I have found that now in my last few years as a teen, that our out look on life and tainted view, that friendship(something that should be at the top of our list of priorities) is now not even registering. What once people held so dear now doesn't even matter to people these days. Family, Friends, Love, and Happiness doesn't exsit. People are trying to play a sick and twisted version of Peter Pan pretending they wont have to grow up and take charge of there lives. And in the end just punishing themselves. While others ride the waves of drugs in the world of Alice in Wonderland. They spend there whole lives Chasing a rabbit that doesn't exsit.
I can't stress anyone how it kills me to stand in a group full of people and feel like everyone is just pretending. I have friends on both sides. The little rockers who talk about killing themselves or others... the "gangsters" who are just too bad ass to cry... the cheerleaders who are closet drug addicts... and the kids who aren't kids anymore but just want to live in neverland for ever, not realizing that neverland kicked them out along time ago...
I often feel that I am one of the only ones who values friendship anymore... I will and promise to try my hardest to be there for whoever whenever where-ever. ALL I ASK IS PLEASE....
DOn't leave me hanging.... I am already on the ledge...
