Girlfriends are essential. They pick you up when you fall down, and make you laugh when you feel like crying — while threatening revenge on the one who hurt you. Significant others come and go, but friends are there through all of it, and the memories you make with them are ones that last a lifetime. A best friend or group of girlfriends helps balance you out — where you have weaknesses, they have strengths, and vice versa. With your unique powers combined, you are virtually unstoppable, so watch out, world! Here are some of the girlfriends we've all had or been: Source: Warner Bros.
