Honestly, I can't live without friends. Friends make up at least 1/2 of my life and the other 1/2 is family. This is why I feel upset when betrayed or pushed-away by my friends. Anyway, friends are very inportant in life. Without them, life is empty. They are like family members who understand you the most as they are going through the same things you are.
"Friends worries like a father, nags like a mother, teases like a sister and cares like a brother."
"Friends are like the family you can choose in life. Some come and go. Others stay with you..." -quoted from Barrilla Advertisment- Friends are one of the best things a person could have!
So treasure your friends as once you reach adulthood, your friends will start drifting away... ...
