Report from the BBC was stemming from the friendships formed at university and how they often shape for life. Two of my closest friends come from my university days. Expanding this debate, how are our friendships formed, how important are they, how do we see our friends ?
From my end, I think it comes from if you are single and not in a relationship, your friends have more 'presence' in one's life as time with your partner / and family takes more of your time and as you get older, one's reliance upon the need for friends has a tendency to lessen equally (I see this as debatable obviously).
For me, my friends are a massive part of my life and they form a large part of my emotional & social aspects of my existence, I value them hugely and count myself as a good friend and it's a very respectful part of my life, they stem from many areas of my life and have some of my closest friends on here too.
How do others see their friends (contextually & physically), real friends are a wonderful gift in life, social media has widened the description of friendship but it's the ones where the chips are really down when you can count on input, kinds or action, that's a real friendship.
