What is a friend?
Márcio Paulo Barbosa Pena Mascarenhas
Laurie: To me, a friend is someone who stands by you when you need them, someone who cares. Not like your parents, ________. Parents are either picking on you or telling you off, so sometimes it’s a pain. To a friend you can always open up.
Angela: I agree with Laurie but personally, I don’t think a friend has to be physically around all the time. I have friends that I haven’t seen in years, but I know if we get together, we’ll pick up right where we left off.
Fran: I think a friend is that old pal you’ve always gotten on with. I often look back on my schooldays and I think of the funny things my friends and I did together. As I see it, the friends you make in youth are friends to keep for a lifetime.
Gary: If you ask me, a friend is a person you have fun and relax with. My friends and I talk about movies, sports or politics. I don’t go round telling them my troubles and I don’t particularly want to hear theirs. I believe that if you don’t expect too much from people, you won’t be let down.

( ) In Angela’s opinion, a friend is someone who keeps physical contact with a fellow, at least once a year, in order to show the person that he/she cares about him/her.
( ) Gary thinks you should have fun and enjoy life with your friends, talking to them about your interests instead of talking about your problems and above all: without expectations.
( ) As far as Laurie is concerned, a friend is just like parents. Someone you can count on and talk about your feelings.
( ) In Frank’s view, friends are those who have good memories with you; those who are part of your teenager time and because of this should be kept for your whole life.
