As teenagers, close friends and family play a really big role in our lives. These are the people who will stand by you and support you when you are at the lowest point in your life. Family will always be there for you, but friends can be lost in just a blink of an eye. One wrong statement may tarnish the once strong relations you had with each other.
As you get to know people better, you tend to discover their strengths and weaknesses. And very often, the weaknesses surface more rather than the good points. Perhaps its cause we tend to take things like close friends for granted. While some peoples weaknesses dont really bother you much, some do. And this posts a really big obstacle to any friendship, as you may start to get irritated with one another and the friendship seems to break down. Therefore you have to build up that friendship once more, talking to that person to clarify things a little will strengthen you relationship a whole load!
Although it sounds so easy, it could be quite difficult for that friend to change his weak point or maybe he or she doesnt want to. That is what makes life so full of ups and downs! Everyone has their own personality and some may change over time. I hear from people saying that so-and-so has changed. But wait a minute! Has that person changed for better or for worse? You have to evaluate and think. If he became a more sociable and friendly person then praise God! But if that person went into bad company and start being a bad guy then its time you helped him. You could pray for him and try to guide him back onto the right path. Friends, especially close ones, are vital in our development as young exuberant youth. We need friends to support us and be there for us. Imagine a world with little friends to count on!
This brings me to my next point, which is to make more friends. Perception or first impression of a particular person is the most important starting point of a friendship. If you have a good impression of someone, it will be so much easier to make friends with him. In contrary, a bad impression obviously wont be a really good starting note. Then again, impressions are just what you think. That person may not turn out to be as nasty or as sweet as you had first imagined him to be. In fact the sweet person may turn out to be nasty and vice versa. Im sure some of you had experiences like these. As in you thought someone was fierce and evil and every bad thing you can think of. But as you make an effort to get to know him or her better, you find that Hey! He isnt that bad after all!. So just give that person or people a try. There are many testimonies about such experiences around, such as church camp 2006!
In conclusion, close friends are an important asset and we really need to guard it with our lives. Never loose a friendship but its always good to gain more. So my main theme is about keeping the old friendship and secondly to make more friends.
I shall end with a quote:
Treasure friendship in your heart,
new is good but old is best!
Make new friends but keep the old,
these are silver those are gold!
