True Friendship
True friendship to me is a friend that will stick by you no matter what happens. That friend is someone who is always there to help you, and someone you would go through hell and back with. A true friendship isn’t just there, you have to work at it, and then after a while that’s when you know they are you true friends. A true friend is going to write to you while you are locked up and will be there the day that you get out. A true friend to me isn’t really just a friend, they are more like family. In my opinion I think that any person should only be able to count their TRUE friends on one hand.
I think that I have one true friend, and I have known him for the better part of my life. One of them I met in my apartment complex when I was 9, and I have known him since then. I used to go camping with all of his family. I was at his house everyday, or he was hanging out at my house. He came camping with my family a couple of times, and both of our families know each other really well. I consider his mom like a second mom to me, and he considers my mom a second mom to him. When I hit middle school in about the middle of ninth grade, that’s when I started using drugs. He got into skating and since I was using he didn’t really want to hang around anymore (which I don’t blame him.) But when I got locked up he started writing me, and I am still writing him, so that’s why I consider him my true friend.

Matt, I really like your commentary on true friendship. I agree with you that a true friendship is one that can stand the test of time. I also liked how you backed up your statement with a real life story. It makes your claim that "a real friendship is one that stands the test of time" stronger.

Matt,
I agree completely with what you say about true friends. You don't have many in life, but when you do find your true friends they are there through thick and thin. They also tend to stick around for many years. The only suggestion I have is to elaborate on what your true friend wrote to you in his letters. Keep up the good work.

I agree with you a 100% when it comes to "true friends." It's more reasonable to count your "true friends" on one hand. They should be considered the people you can tell anything to, and in return they won't judge you for it. They are always there for you and understand you. These are the ones you never want to lose. I think maybe you should include too what you guys wrote about and show maybe how you two have grown into something new and special, you know what I mean? Good job, man.

I couldnt agree more with what you have to say. These days "true friends" get passed around like theres no tomorrow. Not alot of people truly know what its like to have true friends and i like how you used personal experience to enhance your article.
