I have many friends, but my best friends are my brothers. We grow up together, so we know each other the best. I had a good friend with whom I met in navy, but when I moved here, I rarely talk to him. I think when we do not see each another or do not talk face-to-face, our relationship changes. If I need to borrow money, I never borrow it from my friends. We have a common proverb in Ukraine, "If you want to have an enemy, borrow money from that person." Therefore, if I need money, I borrow it from a bank or my brothers. A proverb, "A friend in need is a friend indeed," I hear first time. I think we can have friends who are only friends when they need help from us. However, when we need something from them, they never have time or have other excuses. Therefore, I do not count people who act like that my friends.

I have a very close friend of Tatiana. I met her when I was Twelve years old. Through the years, even now, our friendship with her is strong. Sometimes I think she told me more than a friend. I take it for himself as a sister. Now, I immigrated to the U.S. and the distance separates us, but our communication with her progress. We communicate with her by telephone and via the Internet. I'm always interested to know where she is that her? In the same way it has always interested me. During the years of our friendship we had a lot of situations where we helped each other. And in my trouble, it never left me. I also never leave her. I know it's true - "friends, are known in the lurch."

It is very hard to have a good friend who lives so far away. You don't get to see them much at all but it's good that you guys still keep in contact. It is hard but as long as you guys keep in touch, I'm sure you guys will still continue to be great friends.

My closest friend is doing with me also in the company. He is about 40 years old but he looks like very young and friendly. He always talks about the good things and bad things so I can understand much more about this country. I have many childhood friendships that are still strong today. We studied together in a long time ago from elementary to high school. And now, I still keep in touch with them even we live long-distance. I talked with them by on the internet but I'm never takes advantage of that to borrow money from my friends. I think it's a bad idea and I never do that. I have some friends that I know from social media sites. I don't think they are not really a friend because they are normally friends so I can to share and talk with them anything that I want. I often keep in touch and write the mail with them from social media sites. There is a proverb that says, "A friend in need is a friend indeed.” I agree with that because I realized that, friendship is very sacred and noble.

My closest friend is Sergey. He is very kind person, he is tall, good guy with kind brown eyes. The best thing I like about him is his amazing character, he can listen and try to help whenever he can. He is amazing guy. I have some friends from my childhood that our friendships still strong today. I meet them about ten years ago at school and then they were going to my church. They live in Ukraine, so we need to communicate via internet. We try to communicate so often how we can, we miss one another. I think it is good idea to borrow money from your friend because if you are friend, so your friend will understands your situation, I think. But, if you really need to borrow, not just for gadgets. I do not make friends so easily, but I like communicate with my friends. I never made friends over the Internet because how a proverb says, "A friend in need is a friend indeed." you cannot check over the Internet what person really is. Via Internet every person can says, " I am such person, I did this, I do that, I can another things." But when you really find out that person, he or she never was so good how he or she said. I think make friends over the Internet is not very good idea. With a proverb "A friend in need is a friend indeed." I agree, because all people are good when you are not in trouble, but only really friends can help you whenever you need.

Jun is my closest friend and he is Korean. He has a great personality and is always friendly. He is very outgoing and easy to talk to. I have many childhood friendships that are still strong today. They are all still in Taiwan. We met growing up in school. I try to keep in contact with some of them but it is difficult. I try to call them or talk to them on facebook. I don’t think it is good to borrow money from friends since people might not be able to pay them back. I have a little trouble making friends easily. I don’t meet people over the internet but I talk to some friends occasionally online. I think that the proverb is right since friends need to help each other.

My closest friend is Adrian Cervantes, hes been my friend ever since high school. We been threw so many, from good to bad we know our likes and diffrences. Hes the same age as I, we both like racing, partying and money. Borrowing money from a friend is good but if your not paying them back then theres a problem. Your friendship will fall apart and then you become enemies. Making friends isnt hard at all, you just have to be outgoing and be yourself.

My best friend is Patty; she has been my best friend since I met her. She is a short lady; her skin is light, with long curly hair. She is an American, and she speaks Spanish very well. My husband and kids love her, and she is the best friend. She has a sweet heart. My best friend is the nicest person I have ever met. She likes to help everybody all the time. I do not like to have many friends, and when I was a child my mom said to be careful about your friends and never trust anyone. I do not know why my mom said that, but after I met a girl that used to say, “I am your best friend”, but she wasn’t a real friend. When I met her it was at the school, and I was eight years old, and we were good friends, but one day after I found her doing things that I did not like. I told her that it wasn’t right what she was doing and she got upset, and she never wanted to talk to me again. I said sorry, and I never saw her again. I do not have a distant friend, the only friend that I have is Patty and I am going to be with her forever, because I won’t ever find a real friend like her. Borrowing money from a friend it is not a good idea. My best friend will do anything to help if you really need her; she is a very good friend, and a lot of people like her. I think the proverb is right, “A friend in need is a friend indeed”. I agree with that, and if my friend needs me, I will be with her because best friends help each other.

A true friend means more than a brother. A Romanian proverb says that in life you can’t have more than two or three real friends. Another proverb says that there are not eternal friends, but only eternal interests. I tend to agree with this proverb. In a world increasingly selfish is hard to find a friend absolutely disinterested. I have had in life, many friends, but distance and different concerns, we have made our relationship cooled. My best friend is even my husband. Actually, I think this is the best relationship between a husband and wife. I love my husband, I have total confidence in him, he never disappointed me, he loves me and always showed me the dedication, he always understood my needs and helped me meet them. Are these feelings that we must have with friends? Are these feelings that we have to have with our spouse? So these feelings are consistent. Then I can say without fear of mistake, my husband is my best friend.

My closest friend is my sister Diana. She is tall, thin and very beautiful. My favorite thing about her is that she is always there to listen to me and give me advice or tips. I still have a few childhood friendships but they are not very close because we all have a family so we are busy. They are girls I was best friends with from my home town. We met in Russia, Belarus. It was when I was still in middle school. I have a long distant friend that I keep in touch with on the phone. I think it's okay to borrow money from a friend as long as you give it back. I make friends very easy because I am friendly. I sometimes make friends over the internet but not often. I write to them not very often because I don't have a lot of time. I think it is very true I agree with it.

The closest friend I have is my wife's brother Vova. He is very tall and like's to laugh a lot. My favorite thing about him is that he always helps me, and invites me over to barbeques and he makes a lot of funny jokes. I don't have many childhood friendships because I was not able to keep in touch after I moved to America. They are guys that I was friends with back in school many years ago. I have a long distant friend in Virginia that I like to keep in touch with he is my brother that I talk to on the phone a lot with. It is okay to borrow money from a friend but it's better not too because you have to worry about giving it back in time. I can make friends very easy because I like to start conversations. I don't like to make friends over the internet because I'd rather get to know them in person first. I think it is true because if they're in need I would like to help them because they are my friend.

Alex McBee is my boyfriend and my best friend. We have been together ever since high school. I like him because he is honest, helpful, thoughtful, and nice. He cares about me. He always makes me happy. He never lies. We met at the bus stop one day after class then I asked him to visit my restaurant sometimes. And he went to my restaurant right after I asked. It was the first time we hang out. Next week later he asked me out and I said yes. We are also pretty much shared our childhood together because we were dating young age. But my father never seems to like him so much. To him we are just a dumb young teen couple. We went to the same high school and now we are going to the same college but different major. He helps me out all the time if I needed help. And we help each other out too. His family is very nice. I love his grandmother so much. Once we all went to six flags and she went on the rollercoaster ride with us. She rock. I love her so much. She is big supporter to me. She is always there for me even though she is not my grandmother. She taught me many things. I usually go to her when I have a fight with Alex. Because of him I get to know more nice people.

I have three close friends in Sacramento. Francisca, Veronica and Margarita. Francisca is very sweet and kind. I never saw angry. She is from Pedernales, Michoacan, Mexico. She is short and had curly hair. She like make anything with her hands crochet, sewing and macrame'. She has wonderful ideas. My friend Veronica is very smiling; she is from Nestipac, Jalisco Mexico. She is tall and white, She love go to shopping store, it is incredible but I don't see frequently but I call every week and stay in the phone about two hours whit him. Margarita is from Santiago de Chile She is my mother-in-law, in magnify friend She is my support in this country because I don't have relatives family and always help me with my children's. I do have childhood friendships but I don't have communication but when I was visit my town I saw my friends now is not to close because I came to USA. I do think it is not good idea to borrow money from a friend because sometimes when you help with money any friend is a problem. I do not make friends easily. I don't have friends over the internet, only my brothers, I write often to them. This proverb that says, "A friend in need is a friend indeed. I think is true because everybody need the everybody, you have a good friend in good or bad time hold in your hand not is easy have a good friend.

I have a close friend, his name is Kirill. Him nineteen years old, he is very tall and thin. He has big eyes, a very unusual color, not very short hair and beautiful smile. I like in him everything but most of all I like that he is very funny and friendly. Also, I have a friend from childhood; we are familiar with from birth, so we have been friends for eighteen years. After I went to live in America, I had many friends in the Ukraine, but I communicate with just a few of them. I communicate with friends who are in Ukraine in Online, social networks, or on Skype. There is a proverb "a friend in need is a friend indeed", I think that's true. Friend will definitely help when you're in trouble. Unfortunately, I had a few times when I got into trouble and the people whom I thought my friends refused to help me. I am very glad that I have one a very close friend, I love and respect him.

A real friend is one who is there always for you in good and a bad times. My closest friend is "Daniel M". He look like cheerful and greatman. I like best about my best friends are his knowledge,beheaver,cheerful, creativety and honest. I have a lot of childhood friendships that are still strong today. They are Daniel M, Habtamu W, Mesfin Z, Shilesh S, and Ashenaf S. I meet them by facebook, e-mail and by phone.It was almost fifteen years ago. I have a lot of long distance friends.I keep in touch with my long distance friends by facebook and cell phone. I think it's either a good or a bad idea to borrew ( to take somethings) money from a friend.
