Advantages and Disadvantages of Having a Friend

Hi there, Pips! I am Mark Joseph G. Samonte, a Grade 12 student from the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) strand, Section 1204.

Do you have a friends? Best Friends? 

I know all of us have friends, but do you know the real meaning of friendship? But did you know that you needed to know your bad friends? I'm here and I'd like to share my opinions about having bad and good friends.

Having a friend is one of the things that makes us happy whenever we are facing a problem. Having friends is one of the reasons why we fight for life and fulfill our dreams with them. But this can have both a good and a bad effect on our lives if we don't know our friends well.

Some Disadvantages of Having a Bad Friend

• Backstabber 

One of the bad side effects of having a friend is that it becomes a backstabber. This is one of the issues that often becomes an issue for the entire "circle of friends," so that their trust in each other gradually disappears. Having a backstabber friend can lead to disaster because the story he tells others may be far from the truth you mentioned to him. To avoid this, let's first get to know our friend well before we tell him secrets and so on.

• Addiction to Alcohol, Cigarettes, and Drugs

Some of the disadvantages of having a bad influence on a friend are the possible addictions to alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs. This vice is the worst that our reputed friend can influence us with. It can put us in harm's way or even cause death. Let's avoid this kind of friend so we don't get hurt.

Advantages of Having a Friends 

• They are there whenever you need someone to talk to and sympathize with a problem.

• They don't say anything to others when your back is turned to them.

• They know your way of life.

• They know you in every detail.

•They accept you for who you are.

• They will not harm you and guide you for your good.

These are just some of the benefits of having good friends.

“Friendship isn't a big thing—it's a million little things.” – Paulo Coelho.

“Frienship is the golden thread that ties the heart of all the world.” – John Evelyn.

These quotes give us an idea of what a friend really means. We can practice it so that we can assess the people around us.

"Having a good friend who we know won't hurt us is a memory we have to keep forever."

That's all I got, and thank you for your time reading this blog! 

I know this blog post will teach you a lesson about the issue of having good and bad friends.
