Friends are those that stand up for you but also stand up to you when you do something stupid so that you dont ruin things for yourself and cause trouble for others. Caring heartfelt people. People you can talk to when things are going wrong or bad. People always willing to listen.

Ohh and also people who can accept you for who you are and what you do. Despite your quirks and way you do things. Nationality race religion dont matter when your with friends.

A friendship is where you form a strong bond between people. You act as a positive influence in their lives, and they do the very same in return.

Mutual relations, willing to be so, and an underlining level of care.

Someone who's company I enjoy, and they mine. We share interests, care about each other, look out for each other, can hold a good conversation, and can confide/trust in each other to at least some degree.
