Friendship and How to Maintain It

4A Choi Siu Kai

Hey, everyone! I am a reporter of the school’s newspaper. Today I am going to tell you
the importance of friendship, and how to make and maintain it. The definition of friendship is
beyond words and you must find what it is by yourself. However, one thing that everybody
knows is friendship is very, very important.
Firstly, why is friendship important? Why? It is because our life will become more
interesting with friends. You will become really lonely the whole life if you do not have any
friends. Friendship is also a thing that makes our life exciting and thrilling. Otherwise your life
will become bland and boring.

You can become excited and interested by doing stuff with friends. For example, you can
play video games together, share snacks and do sports together. You can also learn some
good attitude from them like sharing, respect and kindness. True friends prevent you from
becoming a mean and self-centered person. So, do you feel lonely? Are you a hateful person?
If yes, I have a solution for you, go make your own friendship!
Here are the ways for making friends. You can join some clubs which are appealing to
you like Board Games Club, Gardening Club, etc… If you join clubs that suit you, you can
easily have common topics to share with other club members so that you can make some
acquaintances. Then, you can talk more with them and do stuff with them like doing sports
together. After that, your acquaintances can become your friends. Finally you can even make
some best friends forever.

Another easier way is to make friends online. You can access to online forums and
blogs where people share specific knowledge and chat about their interests. It is easier to
communicate with them freely because it is less personal than real life. After that, you can get
your own friends. Even if you have not met them in real life, you still feel you have very strong
bond with them as you can access to social media once you connect yourself to the Internet.
Once you work on my advice of making friends, you will not feel lonely any more!

The next step is how to maintain close relationship with friends. Be polite, be gentle and
be kind. It is because if you have all the good attitude, you will not lose a friend easily. Also,
you should be careful to maintain your relationship with friends as any little mistakes can ruin
the best friendship. The last thing is you must understand each other to reduce arguments.

Also, do not lie to them. If you lie to each other, you will be living in a world of darkness.
Don’t change what you are just for your friends because you can be more confident if you are
the normal self. Finally, be loyal to them because friends are the closest people apart from
your parents.
After reading my article, go ahead and make a friend. Remember, two people walking in
the dark is always better than a person walking under the light. You can share your view with
me if you wish. Finally, I hope my advice can help you all!
