Friends

Friends are really awesome in many ways that I'd like to elaborate one at a time. However, there is a fine line between friends and real friends. Real friends are well...

They save you a lot of time in deep shit
Sometimes when the world gets too much, friends can provide a small amount of comfort, relief, a fresh getaway from the norm of society

The stuff you normally can't talk in front of parents, you can tell them
Let's face it, as we grow up we realize there's a bunch of stuff we can't really talk about with parents unless we have a desire to hear the whole "I've been there already and you're just headed there. Follow my advice and you'll turn out just right" speech. Most of the time, we find it easier to tell it to our peers whether to be judged, to socialize or to simply have fun.

They are the voice of reason when your not and they are the comic relief when it's their turn to lose reason.
Friends give each other relief whether it's school, work, relations, family, enemies or any other form of problems. You as a friend lean on them when you need them most and the will tell you to get back up and vice versa. Though as a real friend, you only support but let the find their own path.

They are the worst enemies and best allies you will ever have.
Bonding will make you close but sometimes friends can sometimes be rivals whether be relation, sport, work, etc. As you know mostly about a person, that person learns more also about you. Sometimes, to drive yourself further is the same as having your best friend be the worst enemy you have.

They are the ones who bitch slap you back to reality
It's a pain. Love, hate, greed, lust, success, etc. All those raw emotions send you into an unbelievable high that makes you feel indestructible. Before everything else crashes and burns, it usually the closest friend that reminds you you're human. I'm not saying nor implying about not thinking ahead but rather sometimes when everything seems perfect for you, he'll remind you of the other perspective.

They are the last to give up on you
If your family, society and even yourself included have given up when thinking that everything is over and that nothing else is left for you, they will remind you that you still have friends who believe in you whether you yourself have stopped.

and lastly...
They are the ones who how to love.
I'm not saying you'll fall in love immediately with an opposite sex type best friend but point is if ever, despite breaking up and everything, a true friend will see past through the relation and will simply go back to being friends if things do not turn out the way you expect. They way of their thinking is "They have someone better for them" if it fails as opposed to "I know there will be someone better for me" as the reason things did not work out.
