Hey, you know what. Maintaining a friendship needs creativity too! Why is that so? Read on ... ...
Try not to repeat the same old things that you have already discussed about with your friends the previous day again. If you were to raise the same subject as you did before, they may not want to mix with you as ‘youngsters’ these days definitely do not want “naggy” people as their friends!
“Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbour as yourself.”-Leviticus 19:18. The Bible tells us not to bear a grudge against others—for example, those whom we really dislike.
I believe that all of us should try to have the “forgive-and-forget” mentality. Although it is hard to forgive those who have done something really bad to you, just try to forgive them so that you can have peace and be a better person than before.
If you manage to forgive everyone around you, I am sure that the relationships that you have with each other individual will work out well.
Do not let your peers take advantage of you.
Take a stand and be sure to tell them where your limit is so that they will not cross it. This prevents feelings of hatred and vengeance from occurring as your friends know how they should behave so as not to tread onto your toes. Always try to be accommodating.
Do not try to force your peers to do something that they do not like to do just because you want them to follow your decision, like: watching a particular movie with the theme that they dislike but is to your liking or eating ice-creams to fulfill your cravings when they are on a food diet.
Avoid being self-centred and try to follow what the majority does so that it will decrease the chances of having misunderstandings with your friends. However, make sure that what the majority does is not something that is unethical or offending the rules of the law.
We are definitely not experts in this area, although we are trying our best for the this project.
