Friend or Foe?


The Soul Mate is a friend who is so perfect for you, they almost seem heaven-sent! They know when you're happy or sad, even when you don't say a word. Hanging around them always brings you comfort as they know just how to make you feel good about being yourself. Such a friend is very rare but when found, will stay by your side forever.


While The Loyal Comrade may not always see eye to eye with you, they are friends who can become as close to you as a brother or sister. That's because they always have your back. They will defend you when others try to bully you, and will be by your side when you need help. But don't betray their trust or they can easily turn into your worst enemy.


The Get-Along Friend is someone who probably next to you in class or at tuition. They are nice people who are easy to be around. However, you have so little in common that it makes it difficult to develop your friendship any further. The only thing that you share is probably your close proximity. Nevertheless, they are good to you and you like having then around.


The Hi-Bye Friend is an acquaintance. Perhaps you were briefly introduced to them by friends, or have sat next to them a few times during assembly. Whenever you pass by them in the school corridors, you would wave to each other as a friendly gesture. However, you know nothing about them except which class they are from and what you may have heard from other friends.


The Royal Pain is someone who always bosses you around and insists on having everything done his or her way. This doesn't mean that they are bad friends, as they can be very loyal and helpful. However, they could be the way they are because they are generally oblivious to most people's feelings. If you don't tell them how you feel, you'd never get the chance to do the things you want to do.


Ever wondered why the secrets you tell your friends never seems to stay amongst them? That's because you have a gossip in your group! The Gossip is someone who can't seem to keep his/her mouth shut, especially when it comes to bad news about you. They may try to pretend to be a concerned confidante to try and get you to spill the beans. But before you know it, the entire school seems to know your business! You don't necessarily have to relinquish your friendship with them. Just make sure you keep your secrets to yourself!


The Leech is probably one of the worst kinds of friends to have around. In fact, they shouldn't even be considered friends. They are people who take advantage of your generousity, and will never help you when you most need it. When you are no longer of any use to them, they will toss you aside and look for a new "friend" to exploit.


Dear readers, so do you have friends like this?
I do have, ya.
But I hope that best friend of mine will be my Soul Mate instead of Leech. =]
