You need to know these before you select your friends.
Talking about friendship, it can be so useful and still very dangerous. I have seen both sides, but I've seen the good part of friendship more than the bad part of friendship. So if I'm to go back to school and advise myself on anything about friendship, then I'm going to advise these three things below.
Know your peer groups:
The first thing I will advise myself is to know my peer groups. There are some friends who are ready to spoil your life. Everyone goes to school with different opinions, but then there are some bad friends. I've seen friends join bad gangs in school, join cultists, and so on. And before you know it, they will lure you into the group. They can also be good friends who will change your life for the better, assist you in your educational life, and so on. So the point is that when you are able to identify your friends, you will know where to belong. Don't just make friends without knowing who your friends are.
Building good connections:
On the other hand, it is good to know that friends can really change your life for the better. I keep saying that the relationships you build today will determine the kind of connections your children will have tomorrow. I was telling some of my friends that I wanted to have some good friends that I could look up to. Having friends who can solve your problems when you need them is so nice. Imagine you have just a bunch of smokers as friends. What do you want to teach your children, and who do they want to look up to? I can say that most people are seeing that their children have good connections because of what their father has built for them and the friends they choose. So, in a nutshell, your friends are your everything.
Lastly, have someone who can be there at any moment.
It is also good to have someone you can call at any moment in life. This person will be so close to you that he or she will know almost everything about you and what is going on in your life. I've got this kind of person, and this person is someone you will look up to. Well, not everyone can open up to everyone. But it is good to have someone you can open up to and let them know what is going on in your life. Sometimes all we need is just a friend who will make us feel better in life.
Friendship is one good thing I cherish a lot. Although I might not be good at calling my friends, I'm always available whenever they need me. Honestly, I've benefited a lot from having good friends. Throughout my university days, I've gotten a friend that has had my back until we are done with our education. Even now, we are like a family. Some friends will be there for you financially, spiritually, and physically. Meanwhile, there are no friends that you will meet that don't have good and bad sides. You just need to know the person first.
I have gotten some good friends in my place of service too; these are a couple of friends I will never joke with because I honestly care so much about them. And vice versa.
Just because I've got a good testimony about friendship doesn't mean everyone will. Friendship also ruins your life; friends also kill and do a lot of bad things to people.
That is why it is good to know your friends and finally pray to God, because some friends can be evil and pretend a lot.
Here is my opinion. Thanks for stopping by. Have a nice day.

Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are, this statement has been around for long but still significant. I do agree with all you have said, knowing the kind of people we roam with or consider as friends gives us the privilege of determining whether they will be of help to us or not.
Exactly my point, thanks much for stopping by.
Bad communication corrupts good mannerrs, so we have to be careful with the people we become friends with. Daddy, you are right about having friends that watch our backs and can come through for us in times of needs, it's a flex to have such people's as friends.
Honestly sweetheart, having good friends is something really nice. I'm glad you stopped by.
Some people go around being friends with people who don’t add value to their life. It’s not really worth it at the end of the day.
You have a good point there.
Friends are a important part of life that make our life enjoyable. We can do anything when we have a true supportive friend. So, it is necessary to make friends wisely so that we can get a helping hand in our bad times.
Thanks for stopping by, I totally agreed with you.
Your last point is very important, having someone who can stand for you in tough times is the best thing any human will have.
It is very crucial we choose our friends wisely
