Friends are important to one's life, and you will actually make a very few friends who will remain for a lifetime, because most simply just disappear. When choosing friends you should be careful, because friends can influence our lives to a great extent. In fact most times friends are nearer and dearer than parents and siblings, with friends we share more likes than with anyone else. Therefore, it is very important that we choose the right friends because friends influence out lives more than anyone else. There are certain friends that you must stay away from, here is a list.

The Jealous Friend

A friend who is jealous is of no good, because he or she will always be jealous of you. A friend should be one who is happy for you when you are doing well, and sad for you when you are not. A jealous friend is just a negative force in your life, and you should always try and avoid a friend. Image Courtesy: gettyimages.in

There are friends who just think of money all the time, and there are those who just do not want to spend any. Both these sort of friends are joy killers, and therefore you should avoid such friends.
