Sometimes, our friends do mistakes. It is alright to forgive them because, we treasure the friendship more.

Be Respectful!

Be Inclusive!
You can play, eat and even study with your friend. Let them be a part of your life.

Encourage one another!

Be Non-judgmental!
Friends can have problems in their family, with their study or with other friends. Listen to your friends and show that you care when they need help.

Celebrate Differences!
Even best friends have differences – for example, you may like soccer but your friend prefers basketball! The truth is, it is ok to be different! Instead of quarreling over who is right, respect and appreciate each other’s differences.
