dships is often the result of a friend

• 
  
• others to speak the truth, especially in terms of pointing out

• 
  
• the perceived faults of one's counterpart

In a comparison of personal relationships, friendship is considered to be closer than association, although there is a

range of degrees of intimacy in both friendships and associations. Friendship and association can be thought of as

spanning across the same continuum. The study of friendship is included in sociology, social psychology,

anthropology, philosophy, and zoology. Various theories of friendship have been proposed, among which are

social exchange theory, equity theory, relational dialectics, and attachment styles.

Based on Wikipedia, Friends make a great impact in our lives. Our friends are very influential to us. We share secrets

w/ them, We bond w/ them together, We consult to them for advice and sometimes, We even believe their advice

that

those of our parents even the friends advice is not good. Look at the picture, you could see a teenage girl who is

smoking and drinking. she has been influenced by friends to try to drink and smoke. She will later on develop the habit

of drinking and smoking. Her lifestyle was changed by her friends. It just shows that our friends ,could somehow,

predict our future someday. ''birds of the same feather flocks together'' If you want a bad future someday, hang out w/

a bad company. if you want a better and brighter future, hang out w/ the good company. We need to choose the right

friends. I'm not saying that you could only befriend good and nice people, of course we could have an unlimited circle

of friends. We can't avoid making new friends, It is part of our system, It is a social part of us.we just have to be careful

if we get bad influences from them. we could bond w/ them but not when it comes to bad things. We could give them

good influences and we could be the one who changes who they are. We should be careful in our attitude towards

friends and we must choose the right friends because it will deeply affect our life.
