The only way to have a friend is to be one.I recently had a fight with one of my closest friends.I found out that she talked badly about me behind my back.So much for true friendship...now it's all gone.Do u think that the nature of friendship remains the same troughout a person's life?

friendships change as the person changes. true friends are always there for you when you need them the most and when you don't think you do. as we grow up, the friendships grow also. if you stay true to ur beliefs and don't change just cuz ppl around you change then you will have friendships forever. i met my bff in the 9th grade. im a junior in high skool and i moved away, and we're still close as ever. shes my 1st true bff and i kno cuz shes been there through thick and thin and thats wat friendship means. being there for the person you love and care about.

No, I don't.
I think that we may -- if we're lucky -- have a very few true friends who will stick with you through thick and thin. But as I've learned to my sorrow, the vast majority of our friends are temporary due to changing lives or locations. I also have learned that you do not always get out of a friendship what you put into it. I've learned that most people will easily abandon you when you have a rough time in your life or being with you requires a little inconvenience on their part. Unfortunately, this aspect of their natures may not be apparent for years, after you've invested in them.
So at this point, I am much more cautious about friendships. I no longer tell people private details of my life or my feelings until quite a while has passed, I don't sacrifice time with my family and proven true friends for them, I don't make any major time investment in them for a while and I place close attention now to how they talk/react to others when they have some trouble in their lives. I think sometimes we too easily ignore warning signs because we care for someone and that's always a mistake. I suppose some would consider me cynical. Perhaps I am, but life experience has taught me caution because I've been a good friend to people only to have them hurt me too many times.

Some friendship last a lifetime others you outgrow and others outgrow you that is just life although you may think you have many friends as time goes on you are thankful for the one or two that are lasting I am sorry for you split from you friend but try to remember the good times and go on from there don' t let it stifle any new relationships you may acquire
I wish you love

I would have to say yes because i have a best friend that i have known for at least 11 years we fight often and there is always been some major fights going on between us but in some way we are always brought back together and we can never stay mad at each other no matter how much we piss each other off!

Friendship's change like the people in them change. My best friend from highschool and I are still friends, but our friendship is at a different level than it was 10 years ago. We both took different paths with our lives. Now we are both living in our hometown again, but we have our own families now and jobs, etc. My husband and his best friend are still best friends but rarely see each other because they live 3 hours apart. They have a sturdy friendship, but just as my friendship changed so did theirs. Change is inevitable that's just life.

I feel that as you grow older friendship shift and change and sometimes you grow apart or become to be on different levels. I'm starting to wonder if friendship are worth all the time and investment in anyway cause it seems that nothing really lasts forever.

you know what i had a fight with my best friend a while back and i didn't talk to her for 5yrs ... then one day i decided to call her up because i didn't want to be mean anymore .... (long story) anyways were back to being best friends and its the same as if we never had that 5 yr gap. so my answer to you would be .... it changes .. its really about forgiving and forgetting literally.

no i do not
cause no matter what friends will do at least one of the following.
lie, steal, cheat, talk $h1t, use you, try to make you look like the bad guy, move in on your guy, or just be a hctiB
think of people as aquaintances instead of friends it's not as dissapointing when they f* up

hi well that is a fair question
just never use or lend money it brings problems

help in any way u can as long as money is not part of it
and be honest and respectfull
