i cant include a quotation, but i am a teenager and will tell you why friendship is important to me.


I get on with my parents, most of the time, but when i dont, friends are there, and they are like the family that will always be there, in a way they make me feel loved when i am at my lowest, and they are there with me to get into trouble at school, and they are there at my most embarassing moments, and at my best times in life, and i hope they feel the same about me.


friendships are so important to me, because friends love you for who you are, and not because they have to because they are related to you, and the trust is so strong.


They just mean alot! [=
friendship is important because in that way we can express our feeling to our friend.when we have a friend then we can share everything with her/him.if we start a new friendship then we must learn to take care of our friend feeling so our friendship will be longer..if not we just keep changing friend.friendship is very important in our daily life example when we leave get in a trouble,there is a friend that we can get help.
i think only for teenager then perfect thing is just marry ..and simple friendship not boy and girlfriend .. only simple friend then his/her friends can help him for sharing thoughts happinees and sorrowness... boyfriend dont care about girfriend feeling love etc bf just like sucking sex and more bad things from ur gf .. but girls will be a simle ever she will accept all bad things of ur boyfriend..and boys never love with one girl boys love with more girls in same time cause they are just for sex and hurting of innocent girls..its my advice for all to be carefull from boys if any time girls love to any boys then just love him in limid dont do sex etc..if she did sex then her boyfriend will find some one virgin girl......thanks good luck
well, im a teenager, and in our age, we feel a lot of things, were in a critical stage, and thats why we need a lot of person to help us, and show us that were not alone





but honestly, friendship is important to everyone, in every age
Because they are most likely to be going through the same things as us and we can talk to them about puberty, boyfriends/girlfriends, family, sex, life almost anything and they can get us through anything!





Hope i answered your question XD
because when we are teenagers we don't go to family for help we go to friends.. or better because its the time we make friends and actually spend every minuit of the day with them we count on them for everything that's why..
i hardly think it's just teenagers that find frienship important. friends mean company, support, someone to confide in and have a laugh with. life without friends is very lonely for all ages.
because that's the time when you deal with a lot of problems with ur love life, studies, etc ....





and that's the time when they really rely on their friends because they know that they will always be there for their friend..
because they are young and in the early years of school you need frineds to be their for you and to stick up for you its just normal human nature :)


hope this helped!
';Friends are the family you choose for yourself';





I love my friends to absolute bits. I don't think you have a had a proper good friend if your asking this question. I hope you find someone soon. :) xxxxx
Teenagers are still trying to work out their own identity. Without much life experience at that age, they define themselves by how they fit in with those around them.
friendship is important to everyone
I guess having good and more friends is an excuse to get out of the house at that age. lol
love
