Who do you usually call when your sad, upset, or need someone you can depend on? It's not usually Mom or Dad, it is usually your best friend. We all need good friends so we have someone we can
talk to and trust.
Good friends give us someone we can talk to. We all have moments in our lives, good or bad,
where we just need to vent. We need to pick up the phone, and get things off our chest without the
worry of being judged, ridiculed, or made to feel like our feelings don't matter. That phone call is always
to a good friend because we know they will listen with an open ear. Just last summer, my parents told
Us we were moving houses and would have to attend a new school. I was so upset, so I called my best
friend Kenzie. She listened to me without interruption, and made me feel much better about having to
move. We are still best friends to this day,
In addition, good friends give us someone we can trust. Whether it is helping us with home
work, keeping our deepest darkest secrets, or showing up when they say they're going to show up, good
friends can be trusted. Having trust in a good friend is a relieving feeling because you know, no matter
what, they will come through for you when you need them the most. When I told a good friend of mine
I had a crush on her brother, I knew that I could trust her to keep that secret, otherwise, going to her
house on weekends would be really awowardi It has been about a year now, and he still has no idea.
Thank goodness I can trust my friend with my secrets.
Whether we need someone to talk to or someone we can trust, a good friend is always our go to
person. They are like family that we get to choose. Next time you see your best friend, be sure to thank
them for always being there for you.
