friends

Having friends make going through life so much easier. The number of friends doesn't really matter because its just better to have some friends then not to have friends at all. No matter if what the case is, you do just want those two or three friends you can always count on and will be there for you.
Many people now have a lot of "kind of" friends just to fit in with other crowds. The more friends you have the more popular you are. No one now in days really take consideration on who there true friends really are. Kids for instance hang out with other kids who drink or smoke just to make themselves look cooler. And those are the types of kids who leave there real friends behind and hang out with "kind of" friends. Having one good friend in my opinion isn't enough you need at least three really good ones.
I have never personaly known some one with hundreds of friends they actually know. I do however know people who have over 1,000s of friends on facebook. And those are usaully the kids that have a lot of friends and not a few close ones. Having over 1,00 friends on facebook doesn't really do much cause of many of those friends do you actually know. I don't think friends with many friends are happier than those with only a few friends. I think just having some friends can make any one happy.
 You can have numerous friends, or a few friends but in the end it doesn't matter how many friends you have it just matters that you have friends to go through life with and you always know will be there for you.
