FRIENDSHIP

Friendship isn't always easily described. The Eskimos, they say, have a hundred different words for snow. Unfortunately, the English language isn't quite as innovative, though it has vast opportunities to differentiate meaning. Certainly, Love is one of those opportunities. And so, too, is Friendship.
Instead of different words, however, we're stuck with simple adjectives. Close friend. Best friend. Childhood friend. Intimate friend. Trusted friend. Beloved friend. But whether you use adjectives or different words, few could deny the nearly infinite meaning in such a simple word.
Friends are special people. We can't pick our family, and we're sorely limited in the number of them at any rate. Society and mores (and often our own conscience) dictate we select a single mate. But our friends can be as diverse and infinite as the adjectives we choose. Our friends, in a very real sense, reflect the choices we make in life.
In most ways, friendship between teens isn't any different than friendship at any other time in our life. Still, adolescence is a tumultuous time, and teens often rely on their friends to be the only ones in the world that seem to understand them. And that can only serve to strengthen an already powerful bond.

The Wrong Way

by RainDreamer

The wrong way, no one ever does this, We're the best of friends but at one time longed to kiss, We have done things in opposite array, But for us maybe God intended it this way. I ended it all with following words from a friend, From a pretend friend, who wanted my world to end. You were my world, each breathe I took, everything I dreamed, A friendship shouldn't come from this, but amazingly through the dark it beamed. Maybe my mistake was some sign, That you were meant to just be a great friend of mine. I am feeling happy that we are still so close, Even though we don't shared what I wanted most. For now I understand what I have gained from all this, A special friend, someone who for not one moment do I want to miss.
