The Importance Of Trust

Trust is the most important thing in any relationship. A person should be able to trust someone with their secrets or trust that they will stick up for you when you need them to. Everyone should have those few close friends that they can trust with anything and everything. I believe its hard to find those friends that can trust with everything now. Before high school I went to a school that was preschool until eight grade. I grew up with the same people since kindergarten, so I always trusted them.

I could see it though, how she liked him. I started to tell her that she liked him and that I didn’t want her to lie to me about it. Laura kept saying she didn’t like him.
