^? I will put it on here.... I think a true friend is when you can be yourself around them you dont need to be "perfect." You shouldnt have to put on a act when your around them.

I think a true friend is someone you can be yourself around without changing who you are. Like with Toni. Carly didn't have to change who she was.

I think a true friend is someone who does not judge you by your place in society, or how you look, or how wealthy you are. I think this also means that this person does not make you fit into their "perfect" criteria.

I agree with Mrs. Murphy very much. Carley should act like her self around Toni and not lie, because even if Toni does not except Carley for what she is then at least Carley will know she is obviously not the kind of person Carley should be friends with.

I agree with Ms Murphy you should be able to feel happy around friends and not hated and how poorly Carly is being treated by Toni.

I agree with Mrs. Murphy no one like a friend ship built on lies. You should always tell the truth even if your afraid people will laugh and a real friend wouldn't. A true friend will be there for forever always having your back no matter what unless your attempting to rob the biggest bank in the world. And the best this is when your being weird in public there next to you being even weirder.

I agree with mrs. Murphy. A true friend should be able to be themselves, and not worry about that the friend will be uncomfortable or dislike you. Any true friend would aceept you; like you for who you are.

I think that a true friend is someone who doesn't lie to their friend and they are very open and trusting.
