ok i'm really sorry this is long, but please take the time to read it, because it seems no one can help me: all i want is that on friend. that one friend that will stick with you though your whole life, and that u can grow old with. you know? that friend if your crying she will come over to your house and sit with you for hours, or one that you can call at 2 in the morning. and that friend that you never have awkard silent moments with cause you always speak your mind with her, and even if you are silent, its comfortable silence.you see, it seems all my friends arent really THAT friend.like when i feel like talking about serious things, they do not listen. they're just to have a few jokes with and thats it. in MY opinion, i think there is more to a friend than that. my mom says its hard to find that kind of friend but someday you will. i dont believe her. will I EVER get that friend!!???
jon_ron_haan answered Saturday June 25 2005, 10:47 am: I believe that everyone does eventually find that one special friend. I haven't found her/him yet, but I know that they're out there.
My advice for you is this: don't worry about it too much. If you think about finding your other half too much, you'll be so preoccupied with that, you'll reject other people because they aren't "the one". I've passed on so many friendships because I've been looking for something that no one I know now can give. Just take one day at a time, because you'll find that friend, but it might take some time. Meanwhile, enjoy the friends you have now, and if you need someone to talk to, you can email me if you want. [ jon_ron_haan's advice column | Ask jon_ron_haan A Question ]
xBestAddiction answered Thursday June 23 2005, 3:39 pm: Of course you will find that one friend. The only way you won't is if you don't try to hang out with new people. If you see someone who looks nice or sweet or whatever you look for in a friend then go talk to him/her. About a week ago I starting hanging out with this one girl that I've seen around school but she was really quiet so we didn't talk. But know since I know her well enough, she is one of my bestfriends. My point is that yes you will find that one special friend or maybe even 2 or 3.

karenR answered Thursday June 23 2005, 7:51 am: Mom is right. You may just be a little more mature than your friends are now. They will catch up with you soon. Might even be a guy and not a girl. You just never know! But it will happen for you. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
kitty_kat123 answered Wednesday June 22 2005, 10:54 pm: Listen to your mom. She's right. It is hard to find a friend like that. First of all, you can't trust everyone who's nice to you. It may seem like this friend is ALWAYS going to be your friend but then, she backstabs you in heartbeat. That's happened to me before because I trusted someone that I never knew I couldn't trust. You WILL find friends like that in life. Tomorrow, maybe. Or today. You can't shop for a best friend. You have to KNOW that that person is yo0ur best friend that you can trust and never fight with. You will find friends like that. You will. I'm 100% sure on this. Just trust me. If you need any more advice or just want to talk, email me at kitty_kats123@yahoo.com!!!
Best of luck!
Hope I helped!

HyperactiveMiss answered Wednesday June 22 2005, 9:16 pm: Your mom is absolutely right. Although it's easy to find friends, it's definitely hard to find good friends like <i>that</i>. Don't be discouraged.
Not all friendships work out. Sometimes, even the sturdiest and longest friendships die out. Think of it this way: "In everyone's life there are certain people who have helped to form his character and given direction to his life; they are like big stones in a river that force the water to alter its course."
And even if those people are not with you forever, they still helped form who you are. Cherish your memories...don't forget them, but don't be sad when your newer memories don't have your bestfriend in them. You will make new friends. Just be glad you had some friends and you made some good memories together.
Even if you found a really good friend right now that doesn't mean it will last forever anyway. It might have to end eventually anyway. Different colleges, etc. When you are older and have a stable life, I'm am very positive you will find stable friends. When you're young things are a little shakey. so friendships can be shakey as well. Like I said, just don't be discouraged about it.
IceAngel13 answered Wednesday June 22 2005, 9:03 pm: Your mother's right thoes friends are hard to come by, but eventually you will find that friend. Just be open and don't be strict about who you talk to. Trust me, it takes a long time to find a good friend, but once you find them, it'll be worth the wait. Sorry if that's not what you wanna hear, but that's what I have. Hope I helped.
