haleyn9969's answer : A real friend, is someone who doesn't think you're different in a bad way, someone who will go to great lengths to make you happy, someone who will ask you how your feeling even if they're going through a hard time, someone who takes your secrets to the grave, someone who genuinely has a great time with you, someone who tries to make you happy even if they're having a bad day, someone who wants to see you succeed, someone who would give a million dollars to see you again, someone who would give their own life for you, someone who doesn't take anything from anyone who messes with you, someone who will stand up for you even if everyone in the world is right and you're wrong, someone who doesn't care if your gay, straight, black, white, short, tall, fat, skinny, strong, weak, but they don't just do everything for you a true friend needs comforting in hard times, they need you to keep their secrets. If life had no true friends then everyone would be lonely and sad and empty. A true friend kills terrible emotions and shapes you into an amazing person. This, is a true friend.
