Friends are one of the best things in life sometimes. Friends are always there for you when you need to talk to someone or when you go through problems that you would rather not talk with your family. Friends are also nice to have, so if you get bored or something all you have to do is pick up the phone and call them and then there right there for you to do something. Most friends also keep secrets that you tell them and if they do, then give them another try and they'll prove it to you. A true friend will always be there for you. That's a true friend.

That's why I am greatful to have friends like my best friend Nicole and my dalmation Domino. They can help me by listening to me. Even though my dog doesn't understand me, she is still there to listen to me. That's why I think friends are a big part of my life.

I think friendship means you don't like someone just because they're cool. You like them because they're kind. A friend doesn't give things like money. Your friend plays with you and not someone else. Friends are nice. That's what I like about friendship.

My name is Will Freres and my best friend is Eric Becker. We have never got in a fight because he likes to do the same things as me and he likes the same things. He's nice, friendly, and he cares about what I say. There's one problem. He lives in Dixon and I live in Morrison and now we don't get to see each other as much. We first met at St. Anne's School. We then became best friend. Later Eric moved to another school but he didn't move. He stayed at his own house. Later on I moved to Morrison. Eric still stays over at my house and I stay at his house about every two weeks. That is my best friend Eric and that's why he's my best friend.
