Youve made friends since childhood, but you still dont know who your true friends are. _Always honestHonesty is important to keep a relationship alive. _It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories._There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties.

Even if it isnt his or her fault. We are all different people and we all make mistakes.
