Someone rightly said friends are the family we choose for ourselves. Our friends are people we end up creating the best memories with. From childhood to adulthood, friends are the ones who shape you as a person.

Cheers to our best friends for being, well, the best. Here are 11 people talking about the time their best friends had their backs.

2. "The day our results came out, a nasty classmate left me with this jibe: 'funny how you're happy getting just the passing marks. I'm someone who works very hard to get good marks.' My best friend saw she was bullying me so she stepped in and gave her a piece of her mind. It worked because that classmate didn't bother me for the remaining time we were in school."

3. "I distinctly remember this one day where whatever could go wrong, went wrong. My boss was pissed off at me for not replying to some emails, I spilled chai on my brand new blouse, my hair was unmanageable and my boyfriend wasn¡¯t speaking to me. Naturally, I landed at my best friend¡¯s door to get some sort for some moral support and comfort. And, boy, did I get it. She looked at me and with all sincerity said, ¡°smile, there¡¯s wine.¡± And just like that a bad day gave way to a happy drunken night."
