Friendship is a unique bonding between two persons or more who care for each other.
A friend is the closest person, the one who gets the good or bad news from you before anybody else.

Friends can be of the same age group, friendship can be between brother and sister or even with a person who is old enough to be your grand parent. Friendship is to be found very often between animals and humans for instance with our pets at home. Many wildlife researchers and activists often become friends of the animals they are studying or protecting from calamities.

Learn from your friends:
It is very important to be able to know the true qualities of a person trying to become a friend in a subtle manner.

The earlier the people faking friendship are got rid of, the less damage there will be in a person’s life.
