Are They?

I've been through it all. I've been through fights,forever breakups (beetween friends), moving, fake friends, people using me, and many tradgedies like those. But I have also been through long friendships. Friendships that last forever, and ones that comfort the heart. You may have gone through some, and are confused. I have felt that too, but I know my limits and sky is NOT the limit for me. So get to know some people, friends in particular, tips, if you need 'em, I'm here for ya.

How Can I tell? 

How can I tell, I'm confused!

How can you really tell, whether a friend's true or not? Well for starters:

They:

...Act like it.
...sound like it.
..it feels like it.
...remind you.
...share and care.
..are loving and kind.
..aren't always asking for things.

They SHouldn't:

Ignore you.
Leave you by yourself.
ask for too much.
be inconsiderate.

I know most of these things seem obvious, but it's true, so watch out.I remember my friend, always talking behind my back, me helplessly, just...there. She had tried to hide it, but I could tell. Turning away doesn't nessassarily mean we can't see you. What is the point of talking behind someone's back? If you think about it, most people don't ACTUALLY CARE. And they shouldn't. I didn't.
To be a good friend is more than just niceness. It's a kind caring thing, like a bond. But if your breaking that bond, guaranteed, the other person can see it, can feel it. It's heartbreaking, that long friendship shared through the years being torn apart by something (a fight?) or someone.

Would you? 

Would you forgive a friend a thousand times?

ONLY if they say sorry a thousand times!

allisyn_andria_li says:

YES! I mean, it depends. A real friend should be forgiven a thousand times, but a person who uses you should be dumped, no matter how bad you "like" the person.

I've been through this too. I know how it feels.

Not a chance.

lisa says:
