Someone you can tell anything to without fear of comprimising the relationship. Yes friendship is is a type of relationship, and without these relationships a person tends to die. Friends are a high value in anyone and everyones life. Explains why not only do teens thrive off of friends but why the term "Broken Heart Syndrome" is a real diagnosis.

There are many levels of friendship, some strong enough to make you feel in love and others to feel like you have another sibling, and then there is friendships like members of a wolf pack; comrads in life.

The definition of a true friend in my stong opinion is something many people have forgotten. A true friend should be someone you can hold the utmost trust in. Someone who can be truthful but sympathetic in the best understanding. A person who is by your side through thick and thin (whether phyically or spiritually). Who wants nothing but the best for you but is willing to support any descision you make; unless it brings harm to your friend, yourself, and or others. A friend is someone even you may disagree with in many ways but still knows they are your friend. Having a friend is like having another member of the family, and should be treated with respect.

Friends are those you can tell anything to, an in the end know they still care about you. Friends, Are Forever.
