Narrative Essay on Friendship

At the age of 16, I would have never expected something as simple as young love to ruin friendships. When it happened to me, I was in shock. I never thought she’d come into my life just to control me and manipulate me into ruining the relationships I had with other people. We were suppose to be in love, right? People who love you shouldn’t ever do that to you, but I was blindsided. I was so in love that I couldn’t even see what she was doing to me. It started as soon as I met her, the crazy girl who would tear me apart. I knew I wanted her to be mine, it was that simple. When I finally got her, it didn’t feel real. I thought she’d be my “forever.” I dropped everything and everyone for her, that’s just how much I cared about her. Anything she wanted, I’d do my best to give to her. I thought I had the best, but…

The only thing I needed was my small circle and we could conquer the world together. Friendship is something that everyone needs, no matter who they are. We trust our friends with our deepest secrets and we rely on them during our toughest times. We love our friends. Perhaps too much, and sometimes we…

Friendship, particularly a trusting and dear friendship is essential for positive, social and psychological health of the individuals that are involved in the relationship. In our world today, we need trusted friends to listening to us, give us emotional support and empathy.

The Spartans were the greatest fighting force in ancient history. Spartans trained together from a young age for war with their countrymen. The Spartan warriors were elite. They were the most feared warriors. Unlike the Zack Snyder film 300 where each warrior is seeking glory for their own desires, the real Spartans were brothers forged in battle and in trials of war. I did not have the pleasure to know John Datzman from a young age, but I know that John was a Spartan at heart. Yet, the minute…

Through these challenges comes consequences, and from our consequences, we learn what the right and wrong thing to do is. However, there was one time I had done something I am not proud of. My curiosity got the best of me and I almost lost my best friend. Seven years ago when I was about eight years old, I…

The restaurant’s dim glow softened both of their features, and Annie caught Eyal staring more than once. She smiled to herself, pondering the idea of inviting him up…

"Do you remember how we met, dear?" It all began on the first day of high school, the day our friendship began. It was the third class of the day and I had so far failed at meeting anybody new. The teacher had already introduced himself and gone to sit down, leaving us to our own devices for the rest of the class time. I was too disheartened to try and make any new friends, so I pulled it a book and drowned out everyone else. I was in the middle of a riveting chapter when your voice…
