I don't know. Call me crazy or whatnot, but I personally believe there is no such thing as a real friend other than the very parents who love you, take care of you, and have raised you. Many we call friends are simply people who we spend a good time with to hang out, go to a movie, or to a party. But at the very moment of trial and tribulation, when all hell is breaking loose, and the weight of the world is upon your shoulders, people, including the ones you thought were your friends, leave right and left. The only real friends are your parents, in that they will always be there to help you. Not only that, but chances are, they would be more than willing to give up their life for you if they had to. This is how I feel about most so called "friends" and I have thought this way most of my life. I believe most people are hypocrites and will probably use you for their advantage if they could, but very very few people are truly genuine, sincere, and caring. I've made it this far in my life, to actually get into pharmacy school, not through the support of any so called individual friend. I've made this far through the use of my mind and support of my parents...absolutely no friends or anyone supported me. This is why it is so painful for me to leave the comfort of my my parents' home and go away to school for 4 years. Like I wrote in a thread sometime ago, it is by far the HARDEST THING I'VE HAD TO DO in my life.
