Everyone in this world has foes and friends.  A friend is a person with whom one shares a special bond of affection.  There are true friends and unreal ones.  An untrue friend is someone who in difficult moments lets you down and takes advantage of you whereas a real friend will always stand by your side.  It is not an easy task to find a faithful friend nowadays but with one’s wild imagination, one can visualise how his/her friend would be with the qualities one expected in him/her.

The first quality I expect in a friend is understanding.  Understanding is necessary between two friends so that they can understand each other’s feelings and respect them and also to be able to communicate among themselves.  Friends must understand why do we react like this, why we do this and not that or why we are shy, then serious and sad or else the friendship will go nowhere.

Also, I would like my friend to be interesting and jovial.  Interesting because I do not like irksome persons and so I feel bored and have nothing to say on my part.  Some talk about themselves, complain about marks, grumble every now and then; these snobs can sometimes be a real pain in the neck.  I expect my friend to be qualified as interesting so that in free time, we have something to talk about; to gossip, for instance, about mysterious messages, rumours circulating round the college….  And I expect also my friend to be jovial because then, every time I would see her, a smile would spread across my face.  My cheerful friend shares her greatest moments with me.

Fourthly, the other expected quality is sincerity.  I want my friend to be sincere so that I can trust her better and I will not have any doubts on my mind.  I can also reveal my most intimate secrets to her, being certain that she will not spread it.  For example, if I tell her the girls I like and dislike and why, this secret within her and no one will ever guess it.  I trust her completely and when I get entangled in a problem.  She helps me in a way or the other, making all efforts possible.

Another quality I expect in a friend is kindness.  I would like my friend not to be spiteful, resentful or mean; I would prefer a kind and easy-going one. 

Finally, I expect my friend to loyalty as the last and most important quality.  I like loyal friends because I can give her/him entire confidence and trust her/him to help me out any problem I fall in.  The latter moreover gives me moral support. 

Friends help us to feel safe enough to bear the real world.  Indeed, a friend in need is a friend indeed.
