By Courtney Edge<\/em><\/p>\n Friendship is a strong bond between people. \u00a0PHS students share facts about their friends and what friendship means to them. They also talk about how they socialize and interact with their friends at school.<\/p>\n Sophomore Cassie Irwin said that \u201cshe has a mixed gender of friends\u201d and treats everyone of her friends, girl or guy, equally. She said, \u201cit\u2019s just rude to treat them differently.\u201d When Irwin socializes, she likes to do it in person and online. Irwin said that she has \u201ca lot of friends,\u201d and that she likes to \u201cjust sit around and chill and joke around.\u201d Irwin said that friendship means \u201calways being there for each other. Someone that has your back in any type of situation.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFriendship to me means that you can trust them with anything, and don’t have to worry about them going behind your back doing something,\u201d said \u00a0junior Kailey Whitley. Whitley said that a small group of friends is better rather than a large group because \u201cthat way you can get real close to them.\u201d Whitley said that sometimes she puts some of her friends before others. Whitley said that she \u201ctends to have more guy friends\u201d rather that girl friends \u201cbecause it causes less drama.\u201d Whitley said she prefers to socialize in person at school and on her free time. When Whitley spends time with friends,\u00a0 she likes \u201cto go out and have fun doing stupid things.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMy favorite thing to do with a friend normally would be just to hang out and have some fun,\u201d said senior Juan Chavez. \u201cI think a lot of people would like to consider themselves my friends in general, but personally, I like to have a small group of friends,\u201d said Chavez about having a group of friends. Chavez has a small group of friends and he does have a best friend, but he would not put that person above his other friends. Chavez goes on to say that \u201cI actually have friends of both genders equally,\u201d Chavez spends more time with his friends on the weekend than at school. \u201cMy favorite thing to do with a friend normally would be just to hang out and have some fun,\u201d said Chavez.<\/p>\n \u201cFriendship is having a relationship with someone. Knowing that you can tell them anything and they’ll always be there for you. You can act how you want and be yourself, and they love you for it,\u201d said freshman Taylor Smith. \u201cI socialize and stay in touch with people mostly in person. If it\u2019s not in person, it’s through a text message\u201d said Smith. \u201cI am very friendly,\u201d said Smith then she said later, \u201cI have a lot of friends, and I love it!\u201d \u201cI do not keep all my friends at the same level. There are just certain special people that you can have honest and in depth conversations with, and I hold those people higher on my friends list. I am also very thankful for the dorky \u00a0friends that I have that make my day, everyday,\u201d said Smith.<\/p>\n All of these students gave a little inside of their friendly side and explained what friendship meant to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Courtney Edge Friendship is a strong bond between people. \u00a0PHS students share facts about their friends and what friendship means to them.
