Good friends are wonderful . They're there to support you and to help you . They make you laugh and feel good . I'm lucky , I have three very good friends . Sure , I have lots of other friends . But these three people , I would take a bullet for . We've known each other most of our school lives , but we never really " hung out " together until the seventh grade , when we all went to high school . There , cliques were formed ; the popular and the unpopular began to separate . Most kids joined in massive groups to eat lunch . But we found each other and stayed in our group of four . Why ?... because with our small group we could share our opinions and be heard . In those big groups , it's hard to get your opinions out . Another reason is because we shared a common interest : computers and computer games .
