To those with friends in reality...

[~Shadowhunter Princess~]

Friends and friendship are important but Kishi just takes it to an unnecessary level....

It's different because Naruto characters are teenagers caught in the middle of warring times. That's why the bonds are stressed so heavily, you need those people to keep you sane.

In real life, we don't have to be afraid of being attacked by super powerful people. We don't have to go on missions everyday. (Unless you're in the military or some other branch that makes one do this)

Sure, it's great having tight friends, and it's also really helpful to have people you can count on.

You can't compare fiction and reality, they are two very different things. However, its awesome to have people to lean on and talk to, people who no matter what will always listen=D

lol, man its anime, a fake story, dont get so deep into it..!!

 

[YokoKurama]

That's a good question. I am also friendless. Who needs em anyways, they always let you down one way or another and if they aren't letting you down they're stabbing you in the back. 10 years friend free and feeling good!

well some friends are supposed to be usefull some are and otehrs are just to laugh and toss after. I dont have any that id call close because although were together a lot I know they would give me up or leave if it got tough.

then they aren't ''real'' friends :dunno:

The Numbers are not important...Just find the right ones.
I have 2 oh wait Make that 3..^_^

Hmm, John Donne?

OT: Having real friends is very good. I can understand it when I see my dad's friends. They were together in war and they protected life of each other with their own lives. And that's completely new level of friendship. I guess that that kind of friendship Kishimoto is trying to describe in Naruto.

You're a product of your environment dude, if you hang with the wrong crowd they will drag you down with them, i've seen it with many people, being only 23I have a few select friends that fit the A list, meaning they are honest people I can rely on, it all comes down to what kind of a person they are, you just need to find good people. We probably hang out at most 3 times a month, due to college, work etc... but having friends can be nice, it gives you that extra something you can rely on.

It depends on your friends that you choose....

Friends come and go. Some people stress and become emotional when they leave their friends after moving schools, moving to a new area, but its an illusion further stressed by things like facebook that make you pretend you care about people you knew once in your life.
Yes they are good people, but they owe you nothing. And you owe them nothing as well.
What is important is establishing family. Family doesn't necessarily have to be blood (it's usually best if it is though, because even through all the sibling fights, they're people by fate who have your back), but just a group of ultimate people who encourage you and tell you things straightly. They don't bluff or dally with things because they're afraid they'll hurt you, they simply want you to make the right decisions in life. They also don't judge you for your past mistakes.
