Facebook 'friends'

Facebook friends are actually more like Facebook contacts. People will most of the time just add people they for example just saw walking in the hallway. The main reason for this is because it's almost like you go up in facebook popularity by having a lot of friends. In fact, a facebook user could have 600 friends and only 10 of them being real friends.
Person 1: "Wow I think he's one of the most popular kids in our school."

Person 2: "Why the hell would you think that?"

Person 1: "Because he has like 900 friends on facebook!"

Person 2: "Dude, that kid gets made fun of everyday, he has no real friends. Just Facebook 'friends'."

Friendship Goals

Friendship goes beyond just sharing time together, and it is long lasting. who you value above other friends in your life, someone you have fun with, someone you trust and someone in whom you confide. The first person you call when you get good news or want to vent ur deepest feelings inside. You will have disagreements, you will want different things & you will fight, You are two distinct people with lives that are constantly molding you into different people, it involves compromise, trust, and a mutual growth that allows certain friends to last through decades and incredible life changes. Keeping in touch and maintaining a friendship was easy to achieve when both of you were in the same school and had no real responsibilities. Then it becomes a serious investment when life begins to insert itself between the two of you and attempt to pry you apart. friends means being willing to learn and adapt, to understand that you cannot control this person or make them be who you want them to be, that you love them precisely because they are their own person.
