#Put yourself out there. When it comes to forming new friendships, you’ll have to stick your neck out. You can’t expect for new friends to just fall into your lap; it’ll take effort.

#*When you meet someone new, show your interest. Ask the person about themselves and try to find things the two of you have in common to build a connection.
#Be selective. To ensure that future friendships are healthier, think about what kinds of people you want to be around. If you and your ex-best friend grew apart, consider what you would want in a friend today. Choose people who are positive influences and who share similar
Have you ever lost a friend or somebody important to you? The answer to this common question is most likely yes. Throughout your life you go through a lot of change and experiences and sometimes you will lose the people that are closest to you, whether it be through death, distance or heat break. As I grew up, I always heard the saying “friends come and go” whenever I would lose somebody close to me. As you get older, you change and certain events in your life happen that make relationships fall apart, for example, you grow apart, you start to like different things, you lose touch etc. Although you stop being friends with somebody that doesn’t always mean you wish them the worse. In the poem “My life Closed Twice Before It’s Close” by Emily
Often times the loss of a friendship can be a great loss of support and confidence within our lives because we can lose them forever. This is demonstrated when Buddy Willard Esther's boyfriend break up. "He told me that his annual fall chest x-ray showed he had caught tuberculosis...in the Adirondacks" (Sylvia Plath pg. 58.) Buddy and
When going into high school the same friends you have in freshmen year aren’t the same in senior year. Strong Friendship is always hard to get, I knew who my real friends were after every year in high school ended. By the end of my senior year I had almost all the same friends except for three or four. But there was this one girl who stayed and she been my best friend since then we have had tough time and we have broken up but we always come back to each other. During the break ups I never treated anybody special like I did with her somehow I knew she was going to come back. The theme was always in my life and it showed me that not all my good friends are going to stay but when you have a best friend they’re always going to be
Then on January 18th we started texting about our issues. My friend had not been very nice lately, and she had changed since she was my buddy in crime in elementary school. So, we started texting about our issues. I was about to send the text, “Gtg”, and go downstairs for dinner, when she sent a text saying, “I don’t think we should be best friends anymore.” As soon as the text lit up on my phone screen, I started sobbing. I was heartbroken, destroyed, and most of all, disappointed. My best friend since 2nd grade had told me she didn’t want to be my best friend anymore, and ever since then, it really did feel like that. I was lucky if I ever felt that we were just acquaintances. This text devastated me. In most situation, if you make a friend in early elementary school, usually you’re friends and you stay friends forever, and get closer year by year. But, in my case, that fate did not happen. My best friend turned around on me and said she didn’t want to be my best friend anymore. So I realized that even though friends can promise things, you never know what will happen to a friendship five years in the future, but if friends are loyal to you, a friendship could last a
Adolescence is described as the period between childhood and adulthood. Loss of a sibling during teenage years intensifies matters related to the usual challenges of adolescence. Teenagers are capable of understanding death the way adults do, however their ways of grieving is related to both adults and children. Adolescents suffer more in the event of loss of a sibling than children do, because teens have developed their way of thinking.
Changes in friends happen to everybody for different reasons. This is evident when looking at the way physical separation between people leads to a weakening in friendship and then an end in friendship all together as time continues. While keeping in touch with a few people is natural, moving or a change in setting will cause an end in friendship because new people will replace old friends from the previous setting and a place’s social environment may change that friend into someone completely new.
People should not have to stay in friendships they don't want to, but a one time thing is different then all the time. Make sure that you are around people that make you feel good. I had some experience with both of these.
The death of a child is the most devastating loss a parent can ever experience. When a parent losses a child, something in the parents die too. The loss not only destroys the parents’, but also leaves an emptiness that can never be filled. The expectations and hopes of a future together are all just a dream now. Burying your child defies the natural order of life events: parents are not supposed to bury their children, children are supposed to bury their parents. Their life is forever changed and will never be the same. The parent not only mourns the loss of the child, but also mourns the loss of their child’s future. Parents will often visualize what their child could have been when they grew up or think about all the potential they had.
I took the friendships that I was blessed to have and only truly appreciated them when I wanted to. Now that a lot of my friends are split up, it only makes life feel more miserable. Through reading Rowling’s quote, “Life is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone’s total control and the humility to know that will enable to survive its vicissitudes.” I have accomplished the idea of what it means to have true friendships. To have such a relationship with people in my life, I need to be able to give them everything and make them feel important, because by taking them for granted, I am tossing them over my shoulder like another holiday greeting card; there will always be more to come. By being able to know that friendships won’t last forever, I can be grateful for them before they disappear so I won’t be so heartbroken, but instead reminiscent in the promising times of the past when the vicissitudes begin to
I was so used to having girlfriends that I could call when I just wanted to have girl talk that I didn’t realize the effect it would have on me when it was gone. My summer was spent with my boyfriend and my boyfriend and my boyfriend alone. With the feeling of being lonely, I started trying to reestablish old friendships that I let fade into the grey as years passed by. Doing so, I started talking to my current best friend. We bonded over the same issue and from there we’ve been inseparable. As our friendship grew stronger the sad feeling I had from losing my former friend began to fade away faster and faster. It has gotten to a point where it’s all just a memory now.
Choosing proper friends is a bit difficult task but not impossible. We should have a group of friends who are disciplined and punctual individuals. This is essential because of the reason that we start becoming like the people we hang out with most. If for example one or two of our close friends are involved in bad habits such as smoking, drinking and taking drugs, sooner or later we will follow suit. This is the reason why it is advisable to make a proper choice when it comes to making friends. True friendship is as a matter of fact a blessing enjoyed by a few. Those who have it should thank God for having true gems in their lives and those who do not have a few good friends should constantly strive for new ways to secure good friends. No company is better than having a friend by your side in times of need. You will remain happy in your one room apartment if you are surrounded by your friends; on the other hand, you cannot find happiness even in your mansion if you are alone.
Think about who your friends are whoever they are you are or will become. You don’t need anyone to tell you how to feel. There is so much more the world has to reveal to you.

I had a different best friend almost every year during my childhood. I met my best friend when I was 3. I moved into a new house and met Crista the first day that I moved in. When she was in fourth grade her family decided to move. During this time, she had been the main person that I hung out with, so this was a huge change fore me. So I spent basically a year and a half with very few friends. I moved to a new school half way through sixth grade. I didn’t ever find a real place there. I met my best friend Stacey when I first moved to my new middle school. We stayed friends throughout middle school, but she had a lot of family problems and she ended dup moving away and I didn’t even know she was leaving until after she was gone. In a time like middle school for something like that happen is awful. I got depressed after that happened and I ...
