In these days, I was deeply thinking about what friendship means for people.
I remember when I had a lot of nice friends some years ago, we were very close to each other. We passed trough happy and sad moments. We shared a lot of adventures. I remember when a friend's car had a perforated wheel, and he didn't have a car jack, we helped him lift ingthe car with our strenght to change the damaged wheel. I also remember when we "fought" against our friend's girlfriend (she was a real b***h) because she was ruining his life.
I remember when a friend of mine was struggling to get a girlfriend because of his loneliness.
I remember when I was very depressed and my friends were with me day and night, and so I did I for them.
I lost the count of matches at King of Fighters '98 we had.
A lot of times Ema, my best friend, touched my shoulder to give me courage.
I remember my past with a great smile, a lot of things happened, but I always had my friends very close to me.
and now?
Too often I see that friendship isn't not so important.
I see that today, friends are only for laughing behind other people, for talkimg about "gals and chicks", for talking about sex and how much girls you f****d. I see that friends are only to share stupid things or happy things.
But when it comes to face dangerous situations or emotional situations, friendship is no more an existing feeling.
You have a problem? You will likely receive this kind of reply: "I'm sorry, I can't, I'm very busy and I can't help you, try to ask to..."
If you want to talk about yourself and your feelings, then you'll receive a "please, don't say emo things" or "I'm not in the mood for emo things".
Worst of all, sometimes you'll never get a reply and you'll be simply ignored.
During only the last month, three friends of mine have run into this kind of so-called friends. This made me very sad and angry.
I'm truly disappointed in how the meaning of friendship changed in people's minds lately.
I used to consider friends like brothers, but now... what do I have to think? That a friend is only someone to meet when I'm bored? Someone that I use to talk behind other people's backs? Someone I use as excuse to do or not to do things?
Is this the meaning of friendship today?

I do know that there are still friends who genuinely care for eachotehr. I think true friendship exists still. ^^

The friends people make later in life, at new schools or new places, or on the internet, don't necessarily provide you with the same experiences to really bond together. People are more likely to band together based on passing interests or perceived similarities, which are rather superficial. Sometimes that's a starting point for a more meaningful relationship... but it requires a lot of effort and time that some people don't have to give, or may not really be interested in at all.
It's unfortunate to be in a situation and need a real friend, only to find acquaintences... but maybe that's part of the experience one needs to go through with these new kinds of friends, to learn where they (and yourself) all really stand.
I hope that makes sense, and that I understand what you meant

Resistance is futile... but fun.
I don't know why this happens, but sadly it seems that for many, the real concept of friendship has twisted since the last years.
For many that i know, friendship means nothing but just talk about happy things and just what you like, or simply for back-talking and such things about something or someone in particular. And when the real necessity of them comes, they dissapear, or just avoid the situation.
That's wrong. Terribly wrong.
There are many things that identify who is a "deep real friend" and who is just having a "get-along friendship".
I have always in mind these thoughts of what it really means to be a friend [or what i think a real friend is]:
True friendship is measured in both good and bad things.
True friendship comes from persons that open themselves to know each other the better.
True friendship comes from persons that help each other in dire situations.
True friendship comes from sharing all the moments, either being good or bitter.
True frienship comes from persons who discuss, fight, and interest each one on the other because they think they are doing something correct/incorrect
True friendship comes from persons that will be always there, in any place, on any situation, supporting you in any way, if not physically, by any other mean.
True friendship comes from worrying about the other, about what is happening with him/her, which is his/her condition and seeing if he/she is allright. [and i could add, to help, if possible, to embetter something of the aforenetioned]
True friendship comes from someone who realizes that made something bad to you before, and returns repented to apologize for what he did.
...I think i made my point saying the most remarkable things. These words define my ideal of a true frienship.
...To end this long comment, i leave this reflection i had right now:
"Many may claim that they're friends, but those who are real friends can be counted with fingers"
