My younger sister constantly bugs me, because I don't have 50 friends like she does. I just have 15, 6 of which I talk to on a *daily* basis. Is it bad that I don't have a million friends like she does, or is she just being a bitch?
OneMan answered Tuesday May 4 2004, 12:55 pm: I actually think it's better that you DONT have a ton of friends. I think the more you use the word "friend" the less important it becomes. Personally, I have only THREE...go figure, but I guarantee you that I would do anything for them and feel that they would for me, without asking a question. Sure, I have tons of acquaintances, but when it comes to "FRIENDS", Tina, Dave, and Alisha do it for me. No, It's not a bad thing at all. As time passes and you both grow to depend on others for different things, you'll see. [ OneMan's advice column | Ask OneMan A Question ]

I have six friends that I talk to on a daily basis just like you, and I'm happy, whereas there are some who like to hang out with a lot of people. Why does the number of friends matter, when it all comes down to 'quantity vs quality'? [ viviena's advice column | Ask viviena A Question ]
1nfl0w answered Monday May 3 2004, 6:20 pm: think.. would you rather have 50 aquintances.. or 6 really good friends that you can count on. Thats a lesson that i learned the hard way. Dont beg for friends.. n dont envy others for having so many... your sister probably bugs you cause she;s jealous that you have 6 close friends... and she doesnt [ 1nfl0w's advice column | Ask 1nfl0w A Question ]

Cspinoza1 answered Sunday May 2 2004, 10:04 pm: She is just being a bitch, and trust me you don't want to have a lot of friends. Having friends is cool but having to many makes things really complicated. Like for me I had to make a balance of who is a friend and who is a close friend. And trust me it sucks because your having a bad day and you have a lot of friends, you tell each one which is wrong and 5 minutes later the school knows. SO she is just being rude because you rather have a small group of people you can be friends with.
