| Remember,
as well as you needing to have friends - you also need to be a
friend to others. So how can you make sure that you have a
good relationship with your friends?
There are many different types of relationships that you might
have. At the moment you may have a relationship with your brothers or sisters, with your
parents, with your teacher, or even with your pet dog(!), as well as with all your friends.
You will have a different type of relationship with all of these
different people. A relationship is the way that you talk to
the other person, how you treat them - are you nice to them or do
you annoy them, what you do when you are with them, or perhaps
whether you see them a lot or hardly ever.
Why do you think we have all these different sorts of
relationships? Sometimes its because we have to, but in
the case of our friends it is because we want to.
So how can you make sure that you have the best possible
relationship with your friends? Most importantly a friendship
should be a two way relationship - if you want your friends to treat
you well then you need to treat them well.
In the previous section there is a list of things that a
good friend
should do for you - if you want to have a good relationship with
your friends then you have to do these same things for them.
If you can talk to your friend about
things, then they should
be able to talk to you about things. If they will stick by
you through thick and thin, then you should be prepared to stick by them through
thick and thin. And so on ...
