Topic: Friendship

I chose the topic Friendship, and one theme that caught my attention was how to make and also preserve a friendship. I think that, although this does not seem to be very important, it is. Growing up is tough, and they need all the support they can get, especially from their friends, and besides this, teenagers are always looking for acceptance, and these friendships can affect the way they may behave in the future (that will depend on the people they are going to hag out). Most of the teenagers that look for advices about this issue are between 13 and 16, and the majority says that the friends they used to hang out are hanging out with other people, leaving them aside, and making them feel hurt and sad. One of them even says that she is suffering a major depression, and she is only 13 years old. Another one, this time a 16 years old boy says he doesn’t have friends, neither brothers or familiars of his age, making him feel very lonely, and according to his own words: “this is going to end up killing me”. So, the kids that were having problems with their friends were advised to talk to them (the friends) about what is bothering them, and if this doesn’t work out, what they should do is to find new friends, by hanging out with new people. And in the case of making new friends, they were advised to first of all believe in themselves, and them to try to get involved in clubs, sports and activities of their interest.
