but you should first know, what do you mean by (friend). what are your expectations. there r some (go getter )friends who are good at somethings like making you laugh and cooling down tense situations while they may not be able handle your academic problems.. some are true friends, who actually want you to be happy. at the same time you may not like his suggestions, and you may think he is not your friend, while he actually is. these are two extremes... friends are of different levels. what kind of you desire.......
