you sometimes let your friendship

become too important, or you fail to

show enough concern for your

friend’s needs and feelings. Try to

strike a balance between your friend’s

needs and your own responsibilities ．

13+ points: You are an excellent friend who recognizes that to be a good friend you need to balance your needs and your friend’s needs. Well done!

To have a good friend, you need to be a good friend.

Great old sayings:

Why do you need friends? Make a list of reasons why friends are important to you.

to cope with stressful situations in life

to share my worries and secrets in my inner world

to show my concern for other people

to let other people share my happiness

to unfold to other people the secrets in my heart

Reasons I need friends:

We need friends because we want to share. We need friends because we need somebody who will be there with us when we fall into bad time. We need friends because we want to enjoy being in a group.

Friends--- their value

We hate loneliness and family alone cannot make us feel in a group. For that we need friends. We need friends, because we want to let somebody know about our deepest thoughts, our ideas, and our real emotions. Only a good friend can help us share all these.

Does a friend always have to be a person? What else can be your friend? Tell us about your unusual friends.
