            There are many types of friends which we could put a name tag. I have made them into five types of friends. The five types are; Own Benefit, Smart, Sensitive, “Tough Guy”, and Curse Word friends. Almost every person have friends that they can recall being like I will describe next. If you do not have friends like this, then I’m crazy. They are all your friends either way because you love them the way they are.

            The Own Benefit friend is the one who calls on you when they need something. Let’s say you go to school, you’re in the process of greeting friends. Then comes this type of friend and does not even greet you or acts like he or she does not know you. That kind of gets under your skin right. Ironically that is the very same friend who calls you or texts you the day before asking you for homework. Some people satisfy that friend by giving them the homework. Other people just make them suffer and do not give them the work.

            Smart friend, the one that always wants to correct you in everything you say. For example, let’s say you are at a shoe store and you like a shoe and you randomly say just because it came to mind, I like that dark shoe. That Smart friend who was waiting for the exact moment to make you look foolish says, technically that’s not dark, that shoe is black. You look at the friend so annoyed and at the same time he or she looks at you with the best smile they have.

The Sensitive friend is the one that always has something wrong with everything. Let’s say you’re in class and the teacher is giving the grades of the last test. This friend at of nowhere starts crying because he or she got an F. That’s the moment when you don’t know if you should feel bad for your friend or hit them for being so dramatic. That would be a figure of speech because obviously you would just ignore them in a funny way.

The next type would be the Tough Guy friend. This friend is always acting like they have problems with everyone just to show how lamely tough they are. An example of how lame they could be is by telling you, this random person is looking at them and is looking to get beat up. They would be all over you, trying to tell you to stop them from having to fight. Normally, you just laugh at your friend and tell him or her to stop acting so tough because as we all know that friend is not going to do whatever he says his going to do.

The last but not least is the Curse Word friend. This friend cannot talk to you without cursing at least every time they say something. Let’s say that friend play basketball with some great neighbors at the court. You saw how quickly I explain that sentence right? Well that friend would say ten curse words to match them with the original sentence I wrote. When that friend ends explaining you would be like, wouldn’t it have been much easier to express what you just said without cursing? That friend just made you waste a complete minute of your live.

These are five of the most common friends we have. We love them either way they act lame or not. It is just funny to describe how our friends are, if you feel impersonated in these types of friend do not take it personally. Friends are always going to lighten up your day either in a good or bad way. Make sure to always be honest with them, don’t try to be someone else, just be your own.
