We all go through those phases in our life where we question the true loyalty of our friends and whether or not we genuinely have \u201cgood\u201d friends to turn to. For most of us, the friends we go to when life gets rough tends to be those from our secondary\u00a0school years. There may only be three\u00a0or so of them left, but those three are loyal, genuine and irreplaceable; the holy grail of friends. Here are 10 irrefutable reasons why your secondary\u00a0school friends are and always will be your best friends for life.<\/p>\n

1. When you go over their house, it\u2019s not just<\/em> to see them\u2026<\/h3>\n

You\u2019re also there to see their entire family..well most of them at least! You\u2019re expected to stay for dinner and\u00a0you flow comfortably throughout the house (and most importantly the fridge)!<\/p>\n

2. Secondary\u00a0school friends have earned the\u00a0promotion to\u00a0brother\/sister.<\/h3>\n

There isn\u2019t a specific time you can point to to when your relationship became this close, but it happened naturally and without question.<\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. You can\u2019t help but share your secondary\u00a0school memories with others\u2026over and over again.<\/h3>\n

Those \u201cremember when,\u201d stories\u00a0\u2013\u00a0usually told with a fits of uncontrollable laughter and corrections as the story is exaggerated by the storyteller. But you share one specific memory that defines your friendship together and it\u2019s told a million times over, never getting old.<\/p>\n

4. Secondary\u00a0school friends\u00a0went through the\u00a0awkward age<\/em> with you.<\/h3>\n

Acne, puberty, the first boyfriend\/girlfriend; you name it. There are memories shared between you two that cannot be spoken aloud..ever. One look at the other and you telepathically understand this unspoken rule.<\/p>\n

5. Secondary\u00a0school friends know the real\u00a0<\/em>you.<\/h3>\n

They knew you when you were sneaking around your parents\u2019 rules, when you slacked around in school, when you were in the slumps, and were there through your awful first breakup. They knew you before you knew who you were and they\u2019re watching you grow still.<\/p>\n

6. No matter how long you spend apart, it feels like you never left.<\/h3>\n

You can call these friends to come hang out with you even though it has been months since you\u2019ve spoken or hung out. They\u2019re there that night, no questions asked. Your friendship picks up with little effort and you spend the night discussing old memories, life for you now and ultimately fall right back into routine together.<\/p>\n

7. You undoubtedly share a mutual passion.<\/h3>\n

More than likely you came across these fine gems of humans through a mutual passion of yours. Whether it be a theater family for the artsy fartsy folk or an unbreakable team bond for the athletic ones \u2013\u00a0you guys connected on a shared love.<\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. Your secondary\u00a0school friends keep you in check.<\/h3>\n

As I\u2019ve mentioned, these are the people who know you best, meaning they know your bad habits, choices and reasonings. They may be cut and dry with you and you may find their \u201cadvice\u201d quite rude at times, but they have your best interest at heart.<\/p>\n

9. There is no better friend than one who shared the same\u00a0struggles.<\/h3>\n

Probably the most helpful attribute they hold is the ability to understand the struggle you went through because they were there with you through those years of secondary\u00a0school. They had those same teachers, enemies and work loads. They knew how it was for you to try to claim who you are in the world within the confinements of secondary school\u00a0and your parents.<\/p>\n

10. They are there for you through thick and thin.<\/h3>\n

All in all, secondary\u00a0school\u00a0friends remain true to you through your life experiences and help keep you in line when you\u2019re not making the wisest of choices. There may be times when it feels like the world is against you and pulling them in one direction of life and you the other, but you will always be able to keep that honest line of communication three months, a year, or ten years later.<\/p>\n
