How to make
friends?
  • Go where people are-  most friends you make will be people who have the same interests you do.
  • Be a friend to yourself-  don’t put yourself down.
  • Be cheerful-  smile, don’t always wait for the other person to speak first.

"Be yourself-"
  • Be yourself-  no one is perfect.  Your friends won’t expect you to be, so it is best to just be yourself.
  • Don’t expect perfection in your friends-like you, your friends will make mistakes now and then.  Laugh with them about it, but don’t put them down.
  • Friendship is give and take-  friendship is sharing things like feelings, plans, and dreams.  To make and keep a friend, you have to give as well as take.  Learn to compromise.

"Realize you will sometimes disagree..."
  • Realize you will sometimes disagree with your friend-   nobody agrees all the time.  Disagreements don’t have to mean the end of a relationship.
  • Give your friend space-  almost everyone likes to be alone sometime.  Give your friend space to have other friends, too.
  • Be choosy about your friends-  real friends will not ask you to do things that are harmful and against the law.
  • Let people know that you are interested in them.  Don’t just talk about yourself; ask questions about them.
