Everyone
needs friends - in school and out of school. When you're
younger, friends are the ones you play with in the playground, sit
next to in class, or who live in the same street. Sometimes people
make best friends right from nursery or primary school - playing,
doing things together, arguing with each other, all from an early age.
As you get older friends become
even more important to you as you start to do more and more things
with them. For example, you may go into town with friends, or
go to the park, the cinemas, or a local youth club.
It is important to remember that a
good friend is someone who;
- You can talk to about most
things.
|
- Can accept that you
support a different football team.
|
- You can argue with, and
make up with before long.
|
- Will stick by you
through thick and thin.
|
- Will tell you the truth
about the clothes you want to buy without upsetting you.
|
- Will do things you want to
do, even if it's not their favourite thing.
|
- Will be there to listen if
you've had a row with your mum or dad.
|
- Knows when you're upset
even if you haven't said anything.
|
- Can you think of anything
else that would make a good friend? Think to
yourself what it is that you like about your friends.
