Today's topic is friendship. Personally, I think that nothing is more important that friendship. Please look at this quote and then listen to the cheesy song and tell me what they have in common, what you look for in a friend and the importance of friendship to you.

Both the song and the quote are saying that you can't always do things on your own and that you shouldn't deny a friendship beacause in the end that person could be there to help you when you need it. A friend needs to have some good qualities. When I look for friends, I look to see if that person can be trustworthy, compasionate, and understanding. I also look for someone who will have my back and help me if I need it. Friendship is extremely important to me. Whenever I'm down or need someone to talk to, my friends are always there for me. I can count on them whenever I may need them and I trust them with anything. Having a good friendship means that you not only have friends that will help you and be there for you, but it is also important to be a good friend back. You can't just expect someone to be a good friend to you, and not be one back. I feel like I have the best friends in the world and I try to be the best friend I can to them. Friendship is a great thing to have and when you have it you can't let it go.

Things that this song and the quote have in common have is that you should take or give anything to get friendship or to make your friendship stronger. The quote is powerful because its true. If you have a friendship and things may not work out 9 out of 10 times theres still one time. It reminds me of the movie "Little Giants" when they were getting creamed but at halftime the coach said that only one time really mattered. On the other hand i think that the song represents two people that have been friends for a while and one friend is opening up to the other and taking a chance.

Both the song and quote are saying that friendship is huge. You should always seek new friends and if someone shows signs of wanting to be friends with you, you should accept. You never know what can come out of a friendship so it would not make sense to deny them simply because you might not turn out to be the best of friends. For me, the biggest thing about friendship is trust. I value trust above all else when it comes to friendship and family. If im going to be friends with you, I have to trust that if I tell you something that you wont tell anyone else. Just as if you tell me something I wont tell anyone else. Friendship is huge to me. I love all of my friends and I dont know what I would do without some of them. For me, friends and family go above all else. Even if that means sacrificing something else.
This quote and song both show that you should never give up the chance of friendship between any certain person. It says that you may never know who your real true friends are until you really need them. I also would like to compare this to the movie Billy Madison. Billy (played by Adam Sandler) was a real bully to a kid in high school but then he becomes a high school student again and he gets bullied. Billy realizes what he did wrong and he calls the kid. later in the movie Billy almost gets killed by Erik and the kid he called who is an old man know comes and saves Billy by shooting Erik. Billy then says " Thank God I called that Guy". I have a small group of friends that i know that would help me no matter what and i am very greatfull for that. I feel like 10 out of 10 of my friends would be there to help if i needed it and they know i would do the same for them. Thats why me and my friends have such a close relationship.

The song and the quote have one similarity that really sticks out to me: friends help you. The song talks about how her friend(s) are important to her and that they help her. For instance, when she sings "You are the wind beneath my wings," she's saying that her friends help keep her up. And the quote talks about how not all friends are helpful to you, but there's always at least one that is.
I look for a few things in friends: helpfulness, kindness, and trust. If they don't even try to help me when I'm in an aweful mood or if I'm depressed than they're not a good friend to me. If they care about me and are nice to me than they're my friends. If I can't tell them something without them going around telling everybody then they're not my friend. So, in turn, friendship is extremely important to me. If I'm sad I put my faith in them to help make me feel better just like they put their faith in me to do the same. Without friends I'd be a zombie everyday walking through the halls in a never-ending daze.

The song and the quote both discuss the importance of friendship. The quote is saying you should never pass up the chance to get to know someone. The song is giving praise to a good friend because without them, the person who wrote the song wouldnt be where they are today. What I look for in a friend is if I can see myself hanging out with them down the road. I dont really look for much as long as we get along im cool with it. The importance of friendship is beyond measure. I really dont think anyone could survive without their friends. For a lot of people, including me, being able to see your friends is why a lot of us wake up in the morning to go to school. Friends come and go but each friend you leave behind are people you wont forget. Friends are what makes life worth living.

The Quote and the song both have the importance of the meaning of friendship in common. The song is saying how without friendship, you wouldn't be where you are today. The quote is saying that just because some friendships don't work, doesn't mean that another one won't either. You never know what your missing. The song and the quote tie together because there are always going to be your friends to back you up and grow with you as a person. Friendship is important to me. I don't have a list of qualities that I expect my friends to have. I just know. Friendship isn't just a one way street. You need to be a good friend as well as they being a good friend to you.
I think that both the song and quote stress the importance if friendship. I think that they both have in common that friend ship shouldn't be refused or taken advantage of. Friendship should be cherished. I look for a friend to be trustworthy. I also look for them to be a good listener and that they aren't judgemental. Friendship is extremely important to me. Without friends i think it would be very hard to be successful. Everyone needs someone they can confide in and expresse themselve to when needed.

Both the song and the quote are saying that friendship brings you so much in life. The song talks about how a friend helped her become what she is today by sacrificing some of their own spotlight. I think that friendship is selfless, and that friends help each other no matter what. The quote is saying that you should never turn down a friendship. You may be surprised what that friendship might mean to you later. It is saying that even through all the bad friendships, and good friend will make up for it all. I know this for a fact. My closest friends are the best people ever. When I look for a friend, the most important thing I look for is someone who accepts me for who I am. You shouldn't have to change who you are for a friend. I am very lucky to have friends who like me for who I am. Friendship shouldn't be forced, it should come easily. I also look for a friend who I can trust, and that will help me when I'm in trouble. I know that I can depend on my friends, and I would help them out whenever. Friendship is one of the greatest things in my life, and I wouldn't trade my friends for the world.
I really didn't like the song. Sure the song like the quote had to do with friendship but it she was a crappy friend. in the song Bette is a horrible friend, all she does it take from the friendship and seemingly give nothing in return. That's not what friendship is, friendship is compromising. The quote however i like. That it is important to be open to knew friendships, and maybe some will last a year, a semester, but some can last for a lifetime. even though many of the friends you make you'll grow distant from each other and not be as close it is still always worth the time you did get to spend together. i look for a friend who can always make me laugh! Also someone who i can relate to and trust and vent to about my problems. Friendship is really important to me. i've noticed that whenever im in a bad mood or having a bad day, good friends are what makes me feel better.
Listening to the song and reading the quote makes me think. Sometimes you don't realize what you actually have until it's gone. I always have great memories with my friends and they make me happy. Whenever I'm having a bad day I know that I can call a friend and talk about it and they'll be there to listen to me. I would do the same for them. A friend is someone who makes you happy. I don't really have a good explanation for it but it's someone who gives off good vibes. Friends encourage you and help your confidence. They aren't the kind of people who bring you down all the time. Friends help me live life.

i think both the song and the quote have a lot in common. The song talks about a friend that is kind of maybe not as cool or as noticed as the other one but the unoticed friend is really the others hero and is the person that makes them feel better when they're down. The quote to me means that no matter how many times friends may fail you, their is still hope, and one day you'll find that true friend who will never let you down. I've had a lot of friends and even bestfriends who i'm not close with anymore. People these days take friendship for granted. Everybody seems to be talking about everybody, whether it be your bestfriend or someone you've just started talking to. when i look for a friendship, i see if i get along really well with that person. if i dont than whats the point of persueing it any further. i also see if the person thinks they're better than everyone else if thats the case then i know they'll most likely think they wear the pants in the friendship when it shouldn't be like. i've seen way to many people get bossed around by someone who things they're queen b and they have little followers. i think friendship is very important to me. i always have someone to go to when i'm upset or when im just not feeling great. I can always count on them to cheer me up and put me in a better mood.
The song and the quote are very much alike. There both saying that you cant do everything on your own. You need other people in your life to help you get threw certain things. That's what friends are for! Don't ever turn down a friendship, because in the long run, you might need that person. What I look for in a friendship is honesty. I mean you cant be friends with someone if all they do is lie to you. Also they have to have a good personality, friends have to be fun. I'd like to get along with them most of the time, not looking for to many fights. My best friends are the best friends ever. I can talk to them about ANYTHING. But with Allyson I feel as if we have a different connection, i always see her and Hannah fighting or Jessica or whoever, but Allyson and I don't really ever fight. Shes real super easy to talk to, and always helps me out. Jessica- me and her are tightt(: lol but no really me and jessica are always acting stupid when were together and have so much fun. T.Staff- Shes been my best friend since 1st grade. Shes family to me now. She knows every little thing about me. Not even exaggerating. Even my family.
Raccchhiiee- Shes helps me out with guy problems and always has the answer. shes just really fun to be around. Laura- Shes SUPPPERRR funny, and when I'm around her I'm constantly. laughing. Cubby- In middle school me and her HATED eachother but we got past that and now I just never get sick of her. I am with her literally everyday and yet have I gotten into a fight with her. Each one of my friends are different in there own ways, and I have different relationships with each one. There the ones who help me get threw the day. I don't know what I would do without them.
I think both the song and quote are expressing that friendship needs to be in everyones life. I agree that friendship is important because it makes your life more to live for. Its really nice to know that somebody likes you for who you are. In a friendship you can be yourself, you don't have to be somebody your not to fit in. I also think that both pieces state that you don't have to have a lot of friends. You just need that one friend that likes you for you. What i look for in a friendship is loyalty,respect,trust and someone who can be there for me. I'm not saying that all friends have to be like that, but later in life if you look back on your friends that have those qualities then you'll realize that their your true friends.
Both the song and quote have friendship in common. Friendship is everything and that one special friend your "best friend" is with you always. They make you happy and are considered your hero. You should never deny a friendship because you might lose that one chance of finding a great friend that you can respect, trust, and have fun with. I look for trust and a person with good morals in a friendship. It is important to surround yourself with people that are trustworthy and care about how they treat others. Friendship means everything to me. It's nice to know you have friends that will see you through the good and bad times. Everybody needs support at one time or another. Your true friends are the ones that stand by you no matter what.
Both the song and the quote are saying that you can not always do something on your own and you should never deny the help from that person becuase they could be there to help whenever you need it. A person that you choose to be a friend, must have some imporant qulities. When I am looking for a friendship I see if they are nice, dont talk shit and are understanding. I also look for if they can help me out if I am having a problem with someone else. I think that friendship are very important becuase its something you can pretty much tell anything and they will not go and tell the world. My friends always have my back and would help me in any situation. A friendship goes both ways though. You cannot expect them to do all the work you must be a good friend back. You have to be willing to stick up for them and have their back if they need. Having a bestfrind is always good to. My bestfriend is my girlfriend, I know I can tell her anything and shes always someone I can talk to and I love her.

The song and the quote have a lot in common. they both say you can't always do things on your own. You shouldn't deny a good friendship because in the end that person could be a lot more help to you then what you really think. A friend needs to have some good qualities. As everyone knows my friends mean a lot to me. I need to be able to get along with my friends and have a good time. I need to be able to trust them with everything. Even the smallest things. Friends need to always be there for you when you really need them. every single one of my friends have something different about them that i just love. All my friends are awesome and i know they would never to anything to hurt me.
they both say freindship is very important. the quote means make all the freinds you can but not all of them will be true freinds.the song pretty much describes what true freindship is in a cheesy way and the only thing i see in common with these two is that they discuss freindship. freindship maybe one of the most important things in my life without love humans can not survive. you should never take them for granted either
A friend is who person who is always there for one another, someone who will go the extra mile just to make you feel better. Friendship is an unspoken bond that two or more people share. Friendship is something that you should always value. What both the quote and the song have in common is that they both value the importance of friendship. In the song, they singer is singing about how her friend is the "Wind beneath her wings". Basically stating that she wouldn't be anywhere without that friend. The quote is saying that you should never pass up a good friend. When some boy at school made you cry a friend would just comfort you and tell you he's a jerk, but a good friend would yell at him and threaten to kick his butt. Like I said previously, a good friend will go the extra mile just for you. What I look for in a friend is: honesty, loyal, not someone who is two faced, and someone who I can laugh at the same thing over and over and it will never get old. Friendship is very important to me. I have a few of the greatest friends in the world and I would do anything for them.

I think that the song is saying that for this person, they could not have done everything without their friend's help. Friends can be the person to keep you going and help support you. They are saying that they are so thankful for how great of a friend this person is, and that their help did not go unnoticed. I think the quote is saying that you should not ignore any positive advice that your friends give you. Even if the advice from someone may fail you many times, there will be some advice that ends up helping you out greatly. I think this relates to the song because the song is talking about how a friend helped this person, which directly relates to the quote talking about advice from your friends. What I look for in a friend is someone that is trustworthy and will help me through hard times. I think friendship is extremely important. My friends are my support system, especially when my parents cannot relate to what I'm going through. I support my friends and they support me. I always know I can rely on them for advice and help, and I hope in return they feel the same way about me.
Both the song and the quote mean that a friendship is the most imporatnt thing you can have. It is saying that you shouldnt deny a friendship, because they can be the one that has your back and can help you. A life without friends, is not a life at all. Like in the song, she is saying that friends are the best things in your life, so you should cherish them as much as you can. In my life, i think i have the best friends ever. They are always there for me when i need them, and are understanding and kind. So basically, the song and quote are saying that you should never refuse a friendship for anything, because you never know when you might need them.
i think that the quote is saying that you cant live without friends, and that nomatter what, friends will always help you. to me, i'll be friends with anybody. Ive never judged a person or not been friends with someone for what they look like, as long as they arent mean or disrespectful to me or others, I'll be a friend with that person. I know i wouldnt be alive today if i didnt have great friends like i do. Ive had some hard times and very difficult times that made me feel lonely and down, but someway or another, a friend of mine has always showed up to talk or lend a hand when i need them. A recent example is a couple weeks ago i wasnt feeling good and i kept throwing up. I couldnt eat or drink anything besides vernors, but i couldnt move much, and my parents were both asleep. So i called my friend taylor and asked him if he wouldntmind going to the store to buy me a 2 liter of vernors. I expected himto be busy or in bed, but he said he would. That was one the coolest things any friend has done for me.
I think the quote and the song both mean that friendship, no matter how many ups and downs it has, is hard to come by and we would be nothing without good friends standing by us. First of all, my friends are REALLY fun!! There is nothing I would rather be doing than hanging out with the girls and laughing! But when it comes down to it, a true friendship means respecting and excepting each other for all the good qualities and bad qualities someone might have. Let’s face it, no one is perfect but a true friend realizes this and is there no matter what. One thing I have learned, a real friendship is hard to come by and should be give and take. No one person should give more or take more from the relationship. A true friendship can handle a meaningless argument and get past it and move on. Friendship cannot be all fun but it is how you treat each other during the “bad” times that really determines whether it is a true friendship or not.
Listening to the song and then readin the quote, i found them to be not one bit different. The artist is telling a story of a great friendship. She is saying that aside from everything in life and in the friendship, she would have been nothing if it were not for her friend. The quote as well tells the reader to never quit and give up over a friendship because no matter what there is always that one person who is going to have your back till death and will always be by your side. As i look for friends in life i really find myself being leaniant and sometimes being to easy on them. There has been many times where i get to know someone really well and truly believe we're good friends but then you turn your back for one second and they start talking about you to others. If not to others, there just being straight dicks to you and walking all over you. A true friendship is where you and that other person carry so much in common and get along really good. Not once will you ever find that person talking about you or taking the wheel in the friendship and puting them selves in charge. Another thing i always look for in a friend is if they have your back and wont tell a single soul of any secret you may not want out. Looking at life, i do not believe a single person could get through life without a close friend or even a family member such as other sibling or parent. In my life, i can say theres one forsure friend that i have known all my life that i love more than anything and is like another brother to me. That goofy guy is Jordan Blanzy. Ive known this kid since 1st grade and want to stay intouch and be best friends for the rest of my life. Not once has jordan let me down in any situation. Jordan prolly knows more about me than my parents do and knows things that i know for a fact he wouldnt tell anyone about. This kid has not once ever gave me any problems or has stabbed me in the back and talked about me once. If im ever at a party and for some reason need a ride, i can count on jordan o be the first one by my side to pick me up and take me anywhere i need to go. Friendship is the most imprortant thing in my life and i know for a fact, i would not be able to get through life with out my close friends.

Both the quote and the song stress the impotance of friendship. They both talk about how you can't always do things on your own. Personally, I don't really look for friends I just seem to always find amazing friends. But for a person to be my friend they have to be awesome, nice, caring, friendly, smart(somewhat), funny, and they have to love to have fun. Friendship is very important to me. Without friends I would not be who I am today. But I do not think that people always need friends. I think that sometimes friends are the exact opposite of what is needed. Don't get me wrong I consider my self extremely lucky to be friends with a few people I know.
This quote and song are alike because they both show the importance of friendship. Also, it shows what a huge impact has on a person. It shows that you can benefit a lot from friendship. What I look for in a friend is honesty, loyalty, and someone who knows how to have fun. I love friends who bring me out of my shell. I love seeing friends succeed and I would hope they feel the same way. I hate drama queens so anyone who is in the constant need for that attention just annoys me. I will always be there for a friend though (to listen to their problems, etc.) so they have to be willing to do the same for me.

The song and quote is saying that friendship is important. You need that friend who can help you along. That one friend can help you more than you think. Your friends help you learn a lot, and without them you wouldn't experience a lot of things. You should never turn down a new friend. You never know how important they will be in the end. Even if its a good experience or even a bad one. Friends are good to have, so you can lean on and give you guidance.
The quote and the song are both about how important friendship is. Both of them are about how a friendship could help you. For example if you are in trouble and need some help you can always count on your friends. When I for a friend I look for somone that has similar intrests as me. For example, I loved to go hunting and fishing so I want a friend that enjoys doing the same thing. Also I look for someone that I know I count on if I need help. I know that I can call anyone of my friends and know I can depend on them. I believe that friendship is important because it is always a good idea to know somone that has your back and that they kown that you have theirs. Friends like that are hard to come by so those are the friendships that can last a life time.

For the quote I think that it means that you should try to make all the friends that you can. Whether it is an opportunity that could change your life or just to have a fun night hanging out. Only a few friends will pay you back by staying your friend forever. The song it is about a friendship; where maybe the person singing was not the one giving back. Suddenly, they realized how important this friend was. So she wanted it known to everyone that without this person she wouldn’t be where she is today.
Personally, I look for a person that I can have fun with and relate to. I want someone I can trust. I want a friend that is there for me, not just a good time friend. Friendship is very important to me because I am a person that is not very popular so I appreciate the few friends I have.
This song and quote are very similar. Both are saying that friendship is very important. The quote is saying that if you have a chance, even if it is a small chance to make a friend, take it. The song is saying that when you have friends they will help you get through life day by day. I look for honesty, loyalty, trustworthyness, and many other things. If they are all these things then I will return the favor. I don't want a friend that will "stab you in the back." Friendship is a very important thing. I don't think you could live through life without friends.
Both the song and the quote are basically saying that you should remain openhearted to new friendships and relationships with people. You can never really get anything bad out of starting a new friendship. You have nothing to lose. The worst that can happen is that you turn out not to like eachother, big deal. What the song and quote are saying is that another will come along and repay that debt, another friendship will come along that will be lasting and only help you and your life. For me the biggest thing about a friendship is respect. I treat my friends the way I expect to be treated in return. For example, I dont talk shit behind my friend's backs, so I dont expect them to. Friendship is actually pretty huge to me I guess. Without my friends I would have no real source of entertainment/fun in life. Yeah, theres other things that I enjoy doing, but anything is always more fun when you are with friends.
I agree that nothing is more important than friendship. And that the song was cheesy. It had a good meaning though as well as the quote because friends are the ones who pick us up when we fall down and will always be there for us in the end. The quote is saying not to refuse or close yourself off to new friendships because you may miss that one best friend. That true friend that will always be there in the end is what the song is talking about. The singer is singing about her friend that was always there to support her and how much it meant to have that person there. I can relate to this because I have the best friends in the world, not to sound cheesy or anything. My friends have helped me through so much and I would lose my mind if it wasn't for their love and support. Lately, my parents have been ridiculous and I have been really upset and frustrated and it's my friends that keep me sane and calm me down and make me feel better about things. I'm so thankful and don't even want to think where I would be if there wasn't friendship.
I think that this quote and song both tell you that, what you have you not only need to be thankfull for but to be grateful for the friends and family you have. They can never be replaced nor could you be able to change how they affected your life.People not only dont think about there srounding friendships but also take them for granted. Trust is the number one thing for a friend to have in my eyes. If you can trust someone you know they will always be there for you.
I think that the quote and the sang are saying that you need friends in life. They both are telling us that friends will be there when you need them so dont try to push them away. I think that the video tells a story about a friend who always supported another friend. But the friend that supported the other one was never appreciated for being a friend. So now the other friend is opening up and showing her appreciation for their friendship. INa friendship I look for a person that I can have fn with all the time, a person who always has my back. I want a friend that has some of the same views as me and i can talk with about anything.
A friend is someone who you can trust, someone who will stand up for you when your in trouble, and when your in need of help. Theyre someone you can rely on to get a job done, and someone you know best. The importance of friendship to me is being able to relate closely to someone else. Being able to have a good time with nother person and being able to be comfortable when your with them. The song and quote both have in common the idea and importance of friendship. They both talk about the importance and the effect friends and friend ship has on them, or any other person.
I think that both of these things show that friendships bring you so much in life and you should treasure every moment of it. I think this song is talking about how her friend(s) inspired her to be who she became. The quote is talking about how you should accept everyone as your friend, because you never know who will reward you later by being a good friend. This has happened to me on many occasions. As for what they have in common, they both show how friendship will make someone go farther in life and everyone will be happier or more successful with more friends. When I look for a friend, I look for someone who is going to respect me for who I am. I have all different kinds of friends. Some are the kindest people ever, and some jokingly make fun of people including me. However, at the end of the day, they all understand who I am and are by my side. That's the meaning of a true friend. Friendship is very important to me. One of the reasons is honestly because without friends I would be extremely bored. I don't want to have to stay homa and do nothing all the time. Another reason is they stand behind me or help me out in my time of need.
Well the real only thing that is common in the quote and song is the importance of friendship. They both express how friendship makes thembetter. The quote s about how friendship can help you in your life. THe song is expressing how the women loves the man and needs that person to fullfill their life. The number one quality that i look for in a friend is the ability to have a sense of humor. I am a very humours person and i need to be able to feed of thee humorousness.I would also like afriend that can be serious at the right moments. Friendship is very important to me. I may not have a lot of friends but the ones that i o have a true to me and i am true to them. I would rather have a close group of friends then a lot of frinds ho dont give a shit about ayone but them selves.
Zack RUffin
The song and the quote both state he strength of a friendship. They are both a bit different from each other but have a close meaning. I think they try to tell you how a friendship gives you an extra strength. I say this meaning that if you can't always complete something your friend will. I don't mean in terms of work but personality, or help. This also means that 9 out of ten friends may be different from you in a way and may not complete but 1 out of them will. The quote tells you never back away from a friendship because of this reason, one time it will repay you.
I think they have a lot of things in common. Obviously they are both about friendship and what its all about. It is saying that we all need it and it can do a lot for us. We cant do things by ourselves all the time. I think most of my friends are the ones that are easy to chill with. They like to do the same things and can laugh about a lot of stuff. Its just the people i can laugh a lot with. I think friendship is what keeps things fun to me and that is why it is important. Its what makes school tolerable and everything us okay.

I think the quote is saying that friendship is all you really need from someone, and in the end true friendship always pulls through when you need it the most. The quote is saying that it really only takes one person to make all the difference. I believe that the song is saying the same thing. Thats after all you can do for someone, being there for them, really does impact someone's life. I look for someone who will always be tehre for me no matter what, and I would do the same. Someone that you really care for and connect in a way where you both know alomst everything about each other. Friendship is very important to me, and when I look over the years I have pretty much lost every single one of my best friends through some sort of situation. It was either somthing like, I moved, or one of us changed, or something huge happened between us. I just wish I could have friends that I have had since I could remember. I feel like I lost a lot of people in my life, you realize how much people impact you with everything you do, everything that you are as a person. You are who you are because of the people you have been friends with, are friends with.

The song and the quote are emphesizing the fact that a friendship is something indespensible, and we all depend sooo much on our friends. They are what hold us up, and with out them, we would crumble and fall. Our friendships grow and adwance every day, and we are always growing closer to eachother. We should never allow a friend to pass us by, even if we are so used to dissapintment, because it only takes that one extraordinary person in our lives to make everything a thousand times better. We all need somebody who will always be there for us, no matter what goes wrong, with unconditional posotive regard for us. We may not know it, but we are everything in our friends eyes, as they are in ours. And we would be nothing without them.
The quote and song do have some similarities. I believe that they are both trying to say that friendship is very important in life. People go through life learning to trust new people. There are some that are, simply put, outstanding friends. I look for friends that aren't too pushy, that share some of my views (not all; contrasting ideas are important), and that have a good personality. Friendship is important to me because I know that I have people that are there for me. These are people that I can talk to in the good times and in the bad. Friendship is also a mutual relationship. We must be a good friend to be considered a good friend by somebody else. Our friends (along with family) keep us bound (a.k.a. sane) in life. Friendship is a great thing in the end.
Today's topic is friendship. Personally, I think that nothing is more important that friendship. Please look at this quote and then listen to the cheesy song and tell me what they have in common, what you look for in a friend and the importance of friendship to you.

The song and quote say that friendships are vital to our success, and try to make friendships with everyone. A friend is someone whos always there for you. I couldnt tell you who wouldnt want t know that someone always has their back. Both the song and the quote show that one friendship is huge in itself. One person can be the changer in someones life. In a friend i loko for someone whos reliable. A friend is someone who you can count on. Also, i look for someone who has things in common with myself. Freidns are there to lean on and talk to, they should have an idea of you and who you are to be able to really be there for you. Lastly, i feel that friendship in my life is huge. The people who are my friends know me better than anyone and know who the real zack is.
The song and the quote are both saying to never pass up a friendship. I think that they are both implying that friends are great to have and that you can never have to many. We all have friends that we can tell anything and count on. We also all have those friends that we know we cant really tell much to or cant really count on. The quote is also saying that no matter how many friends you make that let you down, you will always have the one friend that wont. Personally, I think friends are a great thing to have, at our age some our friends we probably wont see anymore after high school, but its cool to still have them around now. I think the quote and the song is right, you should never pass up a friendship because it is a great thing to have.
I think that both the song and the qote is saying that like you cant do things on your own all the time. Sometimes you need your friends to help and to guide you through something. The qupte is saying that like youshould take advice from your friends dont refuse the help. You may end up neediong that piece of advice later on in life. I htink that having friends is like a really important thing. I dont know what i would do without my friends. They are always there for me. What i look for in a friend is that i can trust them and that they are always there for me when i need them.

I feel like the song and the quote are both saying how important friendships are to people. They also show that everyone needs some sort of friendship in their life. And i agree 100% with both the song and the quote. I feel like friends are the people who keep me going, whenever im annoyed with my family or certain people, they are the ones there to make me feel happy again. Mainly I agree with the quote when it says, "if nine out of ten bring you nothing, one alone may repay you". I agree with that part because I feel blessed to have the few good and true friends that I do and wouldnt trade them for anything. The friends I have are true friends, their not the type to talk behind your back or anything, which is one thing that I feel truely lucky to have found.

The song and quote are both saying that you should always accept a friendship. When i look for a friend, its pretty much anyone I can get along with. If they can laugh about the same stuff and have a good sense of humor. Having things in common is another thing. It makes a world of difference if you actually have something in commmon with the person. I've have friends that were cool but we didnt really do the same stuff so in the long run it didnt really last. I think friends are important for many reasons. It gives you a chance to socialize and it makes life more fun and interesting. For me, other than because we have to, going to school is alot easier when you know you get to see your friends.

This is saying that friendship means a lot. Passing up friendship is something you should never do. When looking for a friend you want to find someone you can trsut. A friend is someone who can rely on you in certain situations. I think that frienship is a lot. Not all your friends will have all positive trait about them. Most friends are people that I can talk to whenever.

The song and the quote both try to peruse that a friendship is the most important thing you can have. A friend can have a great effect on a person. They can pick you up when you fall and can be your conscious. A friend is the one person that you should feel comfortable with and not have to worry about what they think about you when you do something dumb or stupid. A good friend is the one that will be there for you when you need one. Friendship is very important to me. I think that I wouldn’t be who I am today if it weren’t for my friends. To me, a friend has to be truthful. I think that is the one thing that defines a friendship is honesty. A friend should accept you no matter what your faults are. Having a true friend is so important to me. Friends are the people who define you and make your life the way it is.

I could not imagine a world without friendship. Friends are the people you go to during the good times as well as the bad times. There are lots of different kinds of friends. For instance there are those friends you keep in touch with but you know that you will not be able to totally count on them to be there for you. True friends are the kinds of friends that are loyal to you always. They always have your back regardless of how it will effect them. These kind of friends are by far the most important to me because personally I look for someone who will always be there for me through thick and thin, and a true friend always does so. The song is very cheesy but it represents the strength of a good, true friend. This compares to the quote because in the quote Madame de Tencin explain that one should never push away any one who wants to be your friend because she knows how strong one true friend may be.
The quote and the song talk about how friendship is the key to life. The quote is saying no matter how many times you are let down by friends, their will always be one friend who will come through. A person who is truly a good friend, will make up for all the disappointments. The song is saying how her friend is who made her who she is today. Saying with her friend she is a better person. Friendship is what shapes a person and who they are. It is the one of the most bonds people need in life. Friends are what get you through your day. When you have family problems friends are there for you. Without friends people would be lost in their life.

Both the song and the quote are saying that you should never deny friendship. A friend should be somebody that you have respect for. When i look for qualities in a friend, i usually look for honesty, respect, and someone i can always talk to. Friendship is seriously the most important thing to me. Whenever i have a bad day, or am in a bad mood my friends always know what to do to make me feel bettter. i know i can always count on them. I know i will always be able to. Friends are the best things in life and should be treated with great care.

The song and the quote are saying to not deny friendship because in the long run it will help yourself. Friendship is for your and the others benefit. I look for a few key things in a friend: honesty, trust, optimism, fun, and easy to talk/get along with. It's really not much to ask for, but in a friendship, I think those are very important things. Friendship is important to me because it makes me feel like I belong. I have people I can rely on, help me thru troubles. It's important to not be alone. Friendship gives you that release, esp true friendship. Your one friend you can be totally crazy or awkward with and it doesnt matter. You can let your gaurd down, and be yourself.

The song and quote both are saying that friendship is an important thing in life. Theres always opportunities in getting along with someone and knowing that you can count on them. Even though it can seem like no ones there for you, never give up on being there for them. Friendship doesn't always come when you expect it to, and may even let you down. Friendship may even be forgotten by a fight. To me a key quality in a friend is knowing their there for you when you need it the most. This is so important to me because when things get bad, I know I don't want to work through it by myself. I want to be able to trust my friend with whatever I tell them.
The song and the quote are both trying to say that friendship is more important then you think. Friendship is very important to every individual. The quote is saying that out of 10 people all you need is one person from that 10 to be your friend. The song is saying how important friendship really is and how it is a necessity in life. I look for trust in my friendship. I think that trust is the key to having a good friendship. Without trust friendship will never work.
