You and I get to know many people as we go through life. Some of the people we know can be considered as friends. However, there are those who say that friendships that start after college years are never as strong as earlier ones. Do you think this is true? What is your personal experience?

No, I disagree. You keep those friends and value that you went through tough times together, but you may find many friends later that you like and trust even more.

Some people don't even know the definition of a friend until after college and what about the ones who never went to college? I believe that depending on your conception of friendship, many people have enduring, strong relationships that started well after their formative years.

well, different people make diferent frends at different times. cuz i had some frends not too long ago and i thought that we would be best frends for life. bff's u know? but we fought a lot and stopped being frends.so, it duzn't nessacerily have to be during youth years. u could see someone, strike up a conversation, and be instant frends. i gess people make frends when they really need someone. like, someone to be with, someone to lean on, stuff like that. but i gess the majority of best frends have beed best frends for a while. usually since childhood. and i don't think that the frendships during college years are weaker than the frendshops made during ur chidhood. people can bcum close very fast. it's just how people react to each other. u meet frends when the time is right. ugh..did i help? i hope so.

Not really. We meet people all the time. From experience, while growing with youth you lost contact because everybody lives their own life and move on or move out of state. Also old friends could turn out to be betrayal.

As a youth, I had some friends, but none who were really close friends. As an adult, I have friends, and I also have some very close friends. One in particular does anything and everything he can for me, because he loves and cares for me, and I do the same for him because I love and care for him. Love, care, honesty, trust, and respect are what make a real friendship.

Well I can say that true friendships do devlope when u get older too .but you have to work harder. People have families ,jobs etc... an they r busy where high school friends could play all day. The fun part is to find true friends that make you feel u r in high school again .. Sweet 16 lol ... lol ... lol ...

True friendships can happen any time.I disagree that they can only develop during the youth years.

This is true but it also happens with others who just meet each other.I suggest to be true to yourself and the person and the relationship will grow as it should unless the other person was not genuine.
