What if I say that you have to trust someone with your life but that person can't be your family member, you are most likely to turn toward your friend, which is the meaning of the topic. "Friends" these people are not just people they are the one who has seen your ups and down more than even your parents, they are devils in pretty faces, they know who you really are what's good for you and what's not but again you should also consult your parents before taking any step towards your future. Did you all notice that only friends are one which you prefix best with like a best-friend and not any other relationship? And it is important to have good friends while you are in school/college/ where you are living because they are the ones with whom you are going to spend the most of your time so they better be the ones that you should be proud of in the future when you look back. There will be a time when you will feel you are in big trouble and don't know what to do and by the time your family will get to even know or understand what your problem is it will be so escalated that it will too hard to handle, so try to talk to your friends and siblings yes siblings they are also as important as your friends. They are like gems you can share anything with them if you share the same lingo like I share the same lingo in my case I share pretty much everything, it's good you should share things. 

When you have your siblings around to chat on almost every topic possible it feels so good. When shared some secrets with my brothers and sisters; to be honest they caught me and then they started interrogation me like I was caught redhanded with drugs or something but after the long mocking session, they revealed that they were just making pulling my leg and nothing else, the same is with friends when you have a good company you can have a time of your life because then you won't have to worry about being secretive or things like that because they are in the same boat as you are in, so it won't be hard for either of you understand the situation. But with that understanding and a little bit of touch of experience of parents, any situation can be handled perfectly. 

GOOD LUCK IN FINDING FRIENDS, because in coming years if you are in college or something no matter what your friends are the ones that gonna help in any situation no one else would even come forward or even bother to give a thought.
