Is a friend in need a friend indeed? We are encouraged to become socially active from the age of three when our parents decide to send us to kindergarten or day care. From that moment on, a child throughout his or her development, both physiological and psychological can consume a significant number of friends, who actually play an active role in shaping the future of the adult`s personality.
Traits such as the willingness to share, help, initiate any type of action, learn how to win, lose, communicate and lead are acquired during a person’s childhood.
According to Merriam-Webster’s Learner’s Dictionary friendship is defined as „a friendly feeling or attitude: kindness or help given to someone”. („Merriam-Webster Dictionary“) „Friendship is a relationship in which the people are convinced that they are entering into contact with somebody original, unique and irreplaceable”. (Niebrzydowski) We can also identify different types of friendships. Someone can be a best friend, a good friend or a close friend. („Teens Health” 2)
