unique.

Looking at Friendship
64
Different qualities of a healthy friendship
65
○
66
RESPECT — As people become friends
they come to accept and
67
affirm each other. They admire certain qualities in each other
and
68
are tolerant and forgiving of faults and weaknesses. They accept
69
the person as he or she is
and they value the relationship.
70
LOYALTY — No one wants to spend time with someone who cannot
71
be trusted. Friends have the right to expect loyalty from each
72
other. If they have a disagreement
they settle it themselves
73
without trying to get other people to take sides. It’s important
74
however
not to confuse loyalty with possession. Friends have to be
75
free to relate to many different people
76
PERSONAL INTEREST — Friendship is a personal relationship
and
77
it involves getting to know someone. If one person has no desire to
78
know more about another person’s opinions
interests
79
experiences
a friendship is unlikely to develop.

■ As people grow
they sometimes begin to spend less time
90
together and other friendships become more important.
91
They’re still friendly
but the relationship is no longer
92
close.This situation can be more difficult
however
93
person does not want the friendship to end. The person’s
94
feelings are hurt
and the other person may feel guilty. It
95
can be a hard lesson to learn
but it is a necessary one:
96
friendship is freely given and cannot be demanded
97
Moving
98
■ Moving is not something that young people have control over.
99
In the current day there are many ways to keep in touch
100
with those who move away but that doesn’t make it any less
101
tough when friends move away.
102
Bullying: There are several types of bullying:
103
■ Verbal - insults or threats or embarrassing someone on
104
purpose
105
■ Relational - excluding people or spreading rumours
106
■ Physical - hitting or kicking or damaging/taking someone’s
107
property
108
Peer Pressure
109
■ Positive peer pressure: The members of the group are
110
supported in their desire to do well at school and develop
111
good habits
112
■ Negative peer pressure: Most young people believe they can
113
resist negative peer pressure
and it is certainly true that
114
some of them can. But pressure from friends can be hard to
115
handle at a time when people have a strong need to belong
116
and be accepted
