Words: 420 - Pages: 2.... able to depend on a friend almost as much as they would depend on a family member. Friends should always be an uplifter, a guiding light; never should a friend belittle one's self worth or prove to be a detriment. The first sign of independability can be counted as an accident, but after that, it is not acceptable. There is no room for repeat offenders, because they will ultimately prove to be a downfall.
