Life is miserable and lonely without a friend. We need a friend in our life be it during times of joy or moments of misery. A friend stands by our side, and we must also stand by his/her side in times of need.

There are many kinds of people. So we must select a friend wisely. We can make friends in a short period of time, but that friend may not be a true friend. S/He may leave us when we need him/her the most.

A true friend is the one who helps us in times of need; is the one who brings us back on the the right track when we stray; and a true friend helps us to realise and learn from our mistakes.

A true friend always speaks the truth about us, whether we like it or not. A true friend is one who never keeps any secrets from us.

A true friend is one who brings a smile to our face and stands up for us.

A friend may be with you till you complete your studies, but a true friend will be with you till death. So, choose your friend wisely.
