Friends
Making friends
The first thing to making new friends is knowing where to look. Some great ways to meet new people are taking classes like skating or dance.Another thng to try is playing a sport. I played tennis over the summer and i meet allot of good friends. Also try Volunteering, giong to camp, or joing a club.
Makin the first Move
Act natural, be yourself! Although this is harder than it says, it's easier acting your self when you introduce your self to a future friend. Then they will like u for who u are and not someone else.
*Remember*
*Shyness can often be mistaken for unfriendlyness.
*It's very hard not to like a person who wants to be your friend.
*Dont freek out if someone is not intrested in getting to know u as a friend. It's thier loss not urs
Dont know how to start a convo read these tips!
1. offer a helping hand to a person. It will show your kindness.
2. Give a compliment!
3. show intrest in some one's hobbies
4. make an invitation to lunch or a party
Fights
Fights, every friendship has em! but hear are some tips for fighting fair so taht your friendhip will heal faster.
1.chill! shouts or tears will get a person's attention, but they keep the person from understanding the reall meaning of why u are upset. Even though u may be really mad, try to express yourself as calmly as possible.
2.Keep others out!!! Talking to others may help you sort out your feelings but its no substitute for talking directly to the person u are mad at. Don't stick ohters in the middle of your fight, they might end up getting into it.
3.Name the problem! dont expect your friend to read your mind!!!
4. Pay attention to waht your friend is saying. If you catch it soon it may help patch up your friendship much sooner.
5. stick to tlking to your friends about today not events in the past that upset you.
Making it Better
Dont be afraid to take the first step on the road of making up. it doesnt mean you are letting our friend win, it just means u are carring enough to work things out. Adluts can help too. Sometimes a person with an outside view can help you think more clearly. also, keep that sense of humor. just because you are in a fight doesnt mean you cant laugh at things togethor!
