Friendships are important to have cause they can help you through dark times. They are important to me because they can help you in dark times and they can also help talk to you about whatever you want to talk about. The qualities someone should look for in a friend is where they are trustworthy and nice and helpful and they should stick up for you and always have your back. If they betray you then they wanted to use you or never wanted to be your friend. So always get to know each other so you know if someone is a true friend or a bad friend.
