It’s not easy for everyone to make friends. It takes dedication and work on either parts to keep the friendship going. True friends are hard to find, and lifelong friends are a rare gem. To maintain a good friendship, one will have to take time and more over one should have to be a good friend. When this order is set friendships will improve greatly.
Like any other relationship, friendship needs honest communication. Many friends count on each other for advice,a listening ear and just someone to talk with. One should keep the lines of communication open, and show to be a true friend by keeping word. Refrain from ever spreading each other's business. Truthful to one another and discussion of ones problems in order to make sure that communication doesn’t break down improves the health of relation.
There will be times when one is looking for someone who will listen to one’s problems without judging. Whether agree or disagree depends on the way the friend is handling certain things. Always be a good listener. One must work very well at maintaining a two-way path with in friendship. If only one person is attempting to be a good friend, the friendship doesn’t work, as the entire friendship can’t be carried on one’s own. It has to be a perfect partnership where both contribute equally. A good friendship needs both give and take policy. If one only take and never give, the friendship will wither.
Never be idle and watch a friend make mistakes. If the friend is making a mistake, express concerns and speak up in order to protect him/her. Be honest about how one feel, but be careful not to berate the other. Choose words carefully, and do not insult in the process. Keep fighting and arguing to the minimum. There will be times when one disagree with the other, but don’t blow things out of proportion. Instead, try to talk things over and put the situation to rest. Avoid arguments and be patient in case the other is adamant over a point. Discuss it over another time and try to convince if it doesn’t seem to tighten the situation or topic to break the fine threads of relation.
. Friends should have love and respect for each other and never do things to hurt the other. Be there for each other through good times and bad times. Celebrate each other's successes, and help each other get through failures. Give friendship room to grow.
The concept of friendship changes with age. In kindergarten a good friend would be the person who shares a crayon or help to dispose off the food without the notice of the care taker and make time to play. But in upper school levels the idea could be of a person who accompany to the bathroom or save a seat in the school bus. The friend concept rises as the person grows as who gives rides in a new car; convinces ones parents not be grounded; consoles when broken up. Now the idea of a good friend is the person who gives the better of the choices, hold hand when cared, helps to fight off those who try to take advantage of, thinks of one at times when not there, reminds of what one has forgotten, helps to put the past behind but understands when the need to hold on to it a little longer, stays with to give confidence, helps to deal with the pressure from others, helps to become a better person, and so on. No matter where one goes or who one becomes, never forget those who helped to get there. There's never a wrong time to pick up a phone or send a message telling one’s friends how much one misses them or how much one loves them. Every person one meets has the right to be accepted (or not) on his or her own merits, it's better to just be oneself than let anyone else influence one into being someone one is not.
Live by the golden rule to treat a friend as one would want to be treated.
