How to make friends?: How to make friends? Go where people are- most friends you make will be people who have the same interests you do.
Be a friend to yourself- don’t put yourself down.
Be cheerful- smile, don’t always wait for the other person to speak first.
Slide6: Be yourself- no one is perfect. Your friends won’t expect you to be, so it is best to just be yourself.
Don’t expect perfection in your friends-like you, your friends will make mistakes now and then. Laugh with them about it, but don’t put them down.
Friendship is give and take- friendship is sharing things like feelings, plans, and dreams. To make and keep a friend, you have to give as well as take. Learn to compromise.
Slide7: Realize you will sometimes disagree with your friend- nobody agrees all the time. Disagreements don’t have to mean the end of a relationship.
Give your friend space- almost everyone likes to be alone sometime. Give your friend space to have other friends, too.
Be choosy about your friends- real friends will not ask you to do things that are harmful and against the law.
Let people know that you are interested in them. Don’t just talk about yourself; ask questions about them.
