How to Keep Friendship Going?
Written by Anastasia Kuprievich, 10c

  Like any other relationship, friendship takes time and effort. If it seems to you that your relationship with a friend has cooled or you want to strengthen friendships, there are ways to help you with this. If you regularly communicate and support your friends, you can overcome the conflicts that may arise, as well as maintain friendly relations for many years.

Friendship is, first of all, the similarity of views and thoughts, feelings and needs of two people. A friend must be sincere in his feelings, there is no place for hypocrisy. Between friends there is no envy and rivalry. Only a true friend will rejoice for another as well as for himself. Often, some people make the mistake of calling their friends and acquaintances friends. As you know, many friends do not exist. In a difficult situation, only real friends will help you.

I believe that in order to maintain friendship, you should write and call your friends regularly. When chatting, you can send different emoticons with which you can express your emotions. Also, spend time with your friends. You can do sports together, visit museums, dine in cafes and watch movies. You can also go on a trip together.

Always offer your help if a friend needs it. If you know that a friend is going through a difficult period of time or is very depressed, take an interest in his affairs. Call a friend or visit him. Find out how you can help him. Even if you cannot solve his problem, you are able to listen to him. This will be great support for him.

The most important thing in friendship, I believe that it is to be honest with each other. Thanks to this, you will have a trusting relationship with your friend. Never cheat on your friends. If your friend knows that you are always honest with him, he will trust you.

After all, never talk badly about your friends behind their backs. Protect your friend when other people speak badly of him. Do not spread rumors and keep secrets.

A true friend will never betray, will not exchange you for any benefits or blessings. He can be called at any time of the day and told about everything that is in your soul, to share and receive support.
