The friends with whom I sat on graduation day have been my friends for life. They are my childrens godparents, the people to whom Ive been able to turn in times of trouble." J.K. Rowling
I still have friends from primary school. And my two best girlfriends are from secondary school. I dont have to explain anything to them. I dont have to apologize for anything. They know. Theres no judgment in any way. Emma Watson
"I don't know what I would have done so many times in my life if I hadn't had my girlfriends. They have literally gotten me up out of bed, taken my clothes off, put me in the shower, dressed me, said, 'Hey, you can do this,' put my high heels on and pushed me out the door!" Reese Witherspoon
These women's friends have helped them through thick and thin. Margaret Nadauld, leader of a global religious young womens organization, said,
Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity.
Know that we are all loved children of God. Our world will be a much happier place when we treat each other as sisters, instead of enemies, and when we stick together.
Oh sister, my sister, our cruelty is done.

- Am I the kind who gets in between good friends and starts arguments?
- Am I drawn to drama and catfighting?
- Do I target women at church with cruel and judgmental comments?
- Do I knowingly spread lies about other women and ruin reputations?
- Do I flirt with other womens husbands to steal affection away?
- Do I blame other women close to me for problems I've caused?
