A smile tugged at the corner of my lips. It was a sentiment that echoed through the years,

a testament to the enduring bond we shared. We’d met as children, two curious souls drawn

together by a shared love for exploring the hidden corners of our world. From building forts in

the woods to sharing secrets whispered under the starry sky, our friendship blossomed into

something unbreakable. We were partners in crime, confidantes, and each other’s biggest

cheerleaders. As we navigated the choppy waters of adolescence, our friendship weathered every

storm. We celebrated victories, big and small, and offered solace during heartbreaks and

disappointments. We knew each other’s flaws, the hidden cracks beneath the surface, and loved

each other all the more for them. Now, years later, life had scattered us across the globe. But the

thread of our friendship remained, a constant in the ever-shifting tapestry of our lives. We might

not see each other everyday, but the connection was always there, a silent understanding that

transcended time and distance. As I close the book, I thought about the inscription once more.

Our adventures might not always be grand or epic, but they were ours, a testament to the

enduring power of friendship. And as long as we had each other, our adventures would continue,

a never-ending story written in the language of laughter, shared dreams and unwavering support.
Definition

Friendship is a relationship between two or more people, not as lovers but platonically.

Mostly, friendship can happen to anyone and anywhere. A friendship is something special to

each of people. With this, you can feel different things, you can do many things, you can try

other things and you can explore a lot of things. According to some, they can be real and

comfortable with their friends, they can talk about problems or achievements, then help or

congrats each other with those. Although, friendship is not always full of rainbows and sunshine,

there can be slumps and downpours. Friendship can stay, friendship can break, people can

choose what results they want it to be. Not all times friends got each other’s back, and not all the

times they can be there for you. However, it can be only like that if there is no communication or

reaching to one another. It is possible that a friendship can disappear, only of they let it to be like

that, friendship could stay of they let it to stay.

Friendship is one of the most important things we go through life, especially in high

school, because the friends you meet there are the ones you hope will that with you until the end.

Friends are the ones who support us when we are feeling down, and they always find ways to

make us laugh. Moreover, they are there to help us with schoolwork or advice when we are

feeling confused about something. One the other hand, there are times when we argue or

disagree, but that’s normal because no friendship is perfect. Even with problems, you’ll still

know who your real friends are, because despite the misunderstandings, they will come back in

the end. Thus, friendship teaches us loyalty, trust, and the importance of being there for each

other, no matter what happens. In fact, these challenges strengthen the bond when we learn to

understand each other better. Likewise, the time we spend with friends helps us discover new

things about ourselves and what we enjoy or what we like. Finally, the memories we create with

our friends are the ones we will treasure until the end.
Classification/Exemplification

In our lives, we encounter many people and form bond with them. These individuals may

start as a strangers, but over time, they become our friends. There are different types of friends

that we can meet in our lives and they can be classified as seasonal friends, constant friends,

casual friends, and close friends. First, seasonal friends are friends that are only short periods and

may be temporary. Second, constant friends are friends that stay with you for the long term and

for eternity. They are the friends that stood the test of time. Third, casual friends are people you

only hand out with occasionally. These are the friends you met at work, in school, in a park, or

wherever. Lastly is the close friends, these are the friends that you have a strong and deep

connection with. These are the people who you can fully trust and freely express your thoughts

and feelings without the fear of being judged.

My two closest pals Mike and John are very different from one another despite having

some similarities. Mike is calm, sincere, and more focused on his academics. he consistently

finishes tasks first and gives me excellent guidance when I need it. He likes to read and is

attracted to calm, peaceful settings. John, on the other hand, is energetic and reckless, often

making jokes and making people laugh. He enjoys playing sports and going on hikes, and he

loves the great outdoors. He also likes funny or action-packed movies. Despite their differences,

Mike and John both like traveling, and I know I can always rely on them for support. whether it's

Mike's excellent guidance or john’s energetic and fun vibe.

For us, a 17-year-olds, school friendships are very important because we learn about

social, personal growth in life. Generally, friends share common interests and emotions and build

that kind of network that keeps supporting and boosting our sense of confidence and belongings

in life. We gathered together because of similarities in interest for example in sports or music, so

the bond of friendship was established. Sharing personal experiences, for example difficulties at

school, increases these connections and develops trust. The need for companionship encourages

girls to seek friendship while being on the same class or group makes it easier to get to know

new people. The more girls struggle, the stronger their friendships become, and therefore, much

more precious. Side effects of good friendships help girls acquire much confidence and

belongingness quite easily. Supportive friends can add liveliness to life by helping brighten up

mood levels. Girls also remain driven about school work and personal goals through supportive

friendships. Such relationships infuse great skills in girls related to communication and ways of

conflict resolution. Of course, however, the negative friendships would still stir up the stress and

emotional pain in her. That's to say that the quality of friendships reveals a lot about a girl's

social life as well as general emotional well-being.

A true friend should always be there, whether you are happy or sad. Think about it, a

friend who only stays for good times is not a real friend. A real friend is someone who stays with

you until the end, even when things get hard. When you are happy, they celebrate and enjoy the

moment with you. When you are sad, they help you feel better, comfort you and give you

support. A true friend would never get jealous of you and bring you down, instead they would

support you and celebrate your success. They would never judge you, invalidate your feelings, or

do anything that might hurt you emotionally. A true friend can be you emotional support when

you are having a tough time. Find a friend that will support you, stay with you through tough

times, and the one you can lean to when everything gets overwhelming for you. So if you found

a true friend, value them, cherish them, and never do something that might hurt them.
Problem-Solution

Friendship can get pretty tough when trust is broken, which a lot of people go through. A

friend might feel really hurt if their secrets are shared or if someone doesn’t keep a promise. To

fix that, it’s really important to rebuild trust by giving a real apology and showing that you are

reliable. Admitting when you are wrong and proving you’ve changed over time can help patch

things up. Another common problem is jealousy or competition, especially if one friend fells left

behind by other’s success. Instead of seeing it as a threat, it is better to be happy for each other’s

achievements. Having honest talks about insecurities can keep jealousy from messing up the

friendship. Also, it is important to balance personal space and time together. Being too

dependent on each other can cause problems, but being too distant can also make the friendship

weaker. Respecting each other’s space and making time for each other can help keeping the

friendship strong.
