School is where we first begin to socialize. It's the first ever moment of life that demands us to seek beyond ourselves. Making friends at school, for some kids is a daunting task, but nonetheless each child finds a friend. As school years are the shaping years of our life, we learn lessons that probably no text book can compete. Most of the lessons learned are, because the friends around us believe that we can. The first moments of achievements, of failure, of love, of laughter, of loss, of gain and of change are shared with friends. This is the reason why they become an integral part of us and etch the journey of finding friendship.
Value that is found in friendships:
- the tendency to desire what is best for the other
- sympathy and empathy
- honesty, perhaps in situations where it may be difficult for others to speak the truth, especially in terms of pointing out the perceived faults of one's counterpart
- mutual understanding and compassion
- trust in one another; able to go to each other for emotional support
