Why Does Friendship End?
Written by Ani Kupradze,10c
People have been trying to define the word friendship for a long time. Friendship is, first of all, the similarity of views and thoughts.
Between friends there is no place for envy and rivalry. Only a true friend will rejoice for another as well as for himself. But friendship is a fragile crystal bowl. It must be protected from careless insulting words, from outbursts of irritation and anger.
It is important to remember that friendship can end, and you need to be able to let go of old friends. Any relationship ends, and friendship is no exception. It is necessary to internally release classmates with whom our interests no longer coincide, a friend with whom life has divorced us. Mentally say to a former friend: “Thank you. Our friendship was pleasant, but our paths diverged. For all the time that we were friends, thank you. All that I gave you, I gave sincerely. Thank you. Goodbye".

Friendship
Written by Larisa Sharapova, 10a
Friendship… Friendship is the work of two or more people who are dear to one another. Work isn’t in the literal sense of the meaning, work implies somebody putting a part of themselves, a part of their heart, work for trust, understanding…
Friendship can be seen from two sides. On the one hand, some people consider friendship something that isn’t really there. If you just laugh, have fun in your free time, chat nicely… but don’t share any feeling or problems with each other than this isn’t friendship, it’s just communication, and you are not friends, but just comrades (or good acquaintances) who have a good time. Friendship can also be checked by “a fair weather friendship”. This means that if you have problems or you feel that your psychological state is in trouble, you want to share it with your close person (best friend), and he or she doesn’t want to listen to you, then make the conclusion, this isn’t your friend. For example, I can call very few people friends, because not everyone can listen and understand what’s in your soul, why you have tears in your eyes, what’s wrong with you ... Even if you can tell someone, not everyone can understand you.

Trust and Support between Parents and Adolescents
Written by Angelina Dikina, 10a
Relationships are an integral part of any person’s life, but family relationships are considered to be the most important relationships. Of course, any relationship, both love and family, cannot exist without trust. Trust is the most valuable thing that is hard to earn and return. But what if parents and their children do not have a trusting relationship?
In the 21st century, adolescents are uncontrollable machines that want to express themselves; they are attracted by inaccessibility and unknown. But all their rash actions lead to many errors that they try to solve on their own, thereby creating more and more new problems. Probably all teenagers are afraid of the anger of their parents, and therefore accumulate life experience from their mistakes. But why not just tolerate being read morals and instead get practical advice of those who went through all these rough patches and avoid the problems that teenagers impulsively solve? Of course, like most teenagers, I did not trust my mother, but I trusted my friends until something happened. Friends turned out to be the worst enemies, having betrayed me they left with my secrets. And at that moment I had no one to turn to except my mother. And of course, every day she saved me from depression and she alone replaced several friends at once. She taught me that it’s not worth baring your soul and how to separate dozens of fleeting acquaintances from real friends. It is hard to imagine what I could turn into if I had neither support from my mother nor support from friends.

Has the Choice Been Already Made For You?
Written by Kate Korolenko, 10a
Family are the closest and dearest people who love you with unconditional love. They will always support and you can always rely on them. But what if you and your family find yourselves on opposing sides on such an important issue as choosing a career?
It often happens that parents don’t listen to or encourage their children’s choice. For example, a child is told from the very beginning, “You’ll be a doctor like your father and grandfather.” They buy him the game Operation, a microscope, impose a love for chemistry and biology while the child goes to the drama club and enjoys it, dreaming of becoming an actor. There are quarrels, parents’ denial to accept their child’s dreams. What should a teenager do in such a situation? You need to let your parents see how good you are in a thing that you like.

Problems Between Teens And Their Relatives
Written By Roman Bryzhatyi, 10a
As we go through life, we develop a variety of relationships - with family, friends, teachers and, later, workmates and marriage partners. Sometimes, problems that come up are of our own making, and sometimes they are out of control. It is very important to sort out these issues in time. One of the most widespread problems in family relationships is problem between teens and relatives. In this article I am going to deal with the most common issues and their solutions.
The first problem is that a lot of relatives are overprotective and care too much about their children. Because of this problem a lot of teens can’t co-exist with their parents. Teens feel really uncomfortable. The second issue is that relatives often disrespect the rights of their adolescent children. The third problem is that relatives try to prove that they are right in a conflict at any price. They always demand from teens their best in all spheres of life. Moreover, in this situation this type of relatives never notices achievements of their child and never praise them. The next type of conflict is when relatives let teen anything s/he wants and they aren’t interested in their child’s life. This type of conflict is called hidden. And the last type is when there are two or more children. The elder child feels unloved and it seems to him that the most part of love is given to their small brothers or sisters.

Misunderstanding Between Parents and Children
Dasha Pavlova, 10c
We all had a situation when in our teenage “difficult” years we quarreled with our parents because of misunderstanding. We want to wear jeans, and mom says to wear a dress because you're a girl or we are listening to music that dad doesn't like, instead of getting ready to go to college. A teen girl wants to become an actress in the future, and her mother says that she should go to the engineering department. Quarrels occur because of everything: friends, hobbies, mess in the room, poor grades, clothes ... But how can we avoid misunderstanding between children and parents?
Let’s start with tips for parents. First, be extremely honest with your child. Show interest in everything that children do, ask how they spent the day. Also, spend more time with your child. Show children a good example of their habits. Remember, a teenager is an insecure person who cannot figure out many things by himself, help them him figure them out for their own.

What if Your Relative Is a Big Boss?
Written by Liz Parnak, 10c
In the modern world, there are many blogs that "help" us solve our problems. But do they really give us sensible advice? Or do they say corny obvious things? In my essay I will speak specifically about the problem from my own experience. I don’t know if this essay will help anyone, but I’m sure many of you will accept my point of view.
Guys, open up! In fact, the theme is: "What if your relative is the head master of your school?" I want to talk about your attitude to it and about your behavior (I will speak from my point of view and by my own example)
