Introduction

What makes you decide to be someone’s friend? Is it because the person makes you laugh? Do you two have a lot in common? Do they cheer you up when you feel sad? Friends make us feel better when we are scared. Friends don’t mind hanging out with us, even if there is nothing to do. Friends tell us when we are being dumb! Without friends, life would be pretty dull.
