Throughout the course of one’s life, they may experience different friendships such as a best friend, a true friend, a childhood friend and an acquaintance. Each of these friendships contain a numerous amount of characteristics that come together to show the type of friend they really are. Most of them, however, are loyal, caring and trusting, as well as honest, and say it like it is. They are also understanding, but only to a certain point, and supportive, in all the good choices a person makes.

Being around negative people can stir up a negative way a thinking or living for anyone in that person’s life. Therefore, staying away from such people who may negatively impact one’s life is sometimes a must, even if they’re considered a friend. Real friends support each other, but there’s a fine line between supporting the right and wrong choices. In cases like these, talking through any problems one may have is a thing to consider if the friendship is important to oneself. To avoid any misunderstandings, both sides of the story’s should be heard in order to come to a clear consensus. Assuming is not an option. In any friendship,
