Friendship is important, because if you have friends you’ll always know that someone somewhere has your back. For example, if you were to get in trouble your friend will be there to stand up for you. It’s hard to have friendship if one or a couple of your friends goes against the meaning of friendship and stabs you in the back. In elementary school this girl and I were very good friends, until one day during recess she said some hurtful words to me and one of my other friends. After that day her and I never spoke a word to each other unless the words were meant to be hurtful. A couple f months ago on “Myspace” she connected me and asked if we could mend our broken friendship? Once I was done thinking about that day I considered it and forgot all about that day and for gave her. Another example of why friendship is important is my best friend T.J. who has always been there for me no matter what the situation is/was. Another one of my friends who have been there for is my friend Ciara; even though she drives me crazy sometimes and gets smart, I still consider her my friend. As you and your friends get older you change, and some friends change so much that they leave you for someone else. In the end no matter what you do in life or where you go if you don't have friends there to encourage you; you might not get that far in succeeding.

Honesty is important because if you’re honest with your self and other people you'll always have a reason for someone to trust you. Honesty, friendship and, responsibility is like a chain reaction; to have friendship you have to have honesty, and to have responsibility you have to have honesty. You know when older people say”the truth will set you free” well sometimes that saying is not always true. Along time ago back in elementary school I was told my mom a lie about something that I should not have, and by not being honest with her I really got my self into quite a bit of trouble. Unfortionally sometimes being honest doesn’t really help the situation that you may be in. Some people are so brutally honest with you and other people that their feelings end up getting hurt at the end of the day. In my opinion I think that honesty is a little more important then friendship. Sometimes it’s hard to keep your honest to your self and it ends up slipping out accidentally even though you never meant it to in the first place. Have you ever had a time when you wanted to be honest to someone about something but you didn’t want to hurt those people’s feelings? I’ve had that happen to me a couple of times, but I had to suck that feeling up and tell them the truth. Even though it may hurt you or someone else try to do your best and tell that person nothing but the honest truth.
