HOW TO MAINTAIN A GOOD FRIENDSHIP

"How to Maintain a Good Friendship" this is one of the topics that I should explain for my Weekly English Project in SMA Negeri 10 Samarinda. So, in my school, we got an english project which requires us to make a video record, talk and explain about one topic using English. Well, honestly, it was not that hard to do this, yet due to Indonesian teenagers' disease currently (re: lazy) sometimes it feels hard to do this. But, thank God i have finished them all already (although it was not always on time kkkk). 

Then why do we have to do this? idk for sure. They just say that this is for practice our ability in speaking English. Yeah, i hope it's gonna work.

So, one of the topics is "How to Maintain a Good Friendship". Simple, yet kinda hard to explain (for me). I made the materials from these two webs: /http://elitedaily.com/life/8-ways-making-keeping-good-friends/ and http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/compassion-matters/201301/five-tips-maintaining-lifelong-friends 

So, here is, approximately:

                                       How To Maintain a Good Friendship

Believe it or not, not many of us have good friends in our lives. If we did all have great friends then depresison & suicide would be at an all-time low-and we know that's not the case. Most of us know what makes a good friends, yet not too many of us know how to make good friends and keep them around.

So, what is it exactly? Are we just idiots? No, we either misinterpret or get carried away by the flow of life. But there is a way of making good friends; Be Honest.

I think this is the one and only way to maintain a good friendship and make it last forever. Actually, there are more other ways, but I think Be Honest is the most important thing.

To achieve a solid friendship, you have to be honest with each other. Being able to offer and receive feedback from someone you trust is a gift that can easily be overlooked. Setting aside your ego and being willing to let someone know you and ask questions of you is invaluable. Friends are likely to ask the tough questions like, "Why do you think you're attracted to that person?" or "Do you think you might be feeling jealous or hurt in this situation?" Having a friend like that will help you know yourself better. There is no way to feel more connected to someone then to open yourself up to them.

Holding yourself to this way will help you develop within yourself and will expand your potential to grow meaningful friendships throughout your life.

Actually, I want to upload my "How to Maintain A Good Friendship" record video here. But because the connection is so slow, so I just can share my materials. 

So, thankyou:) hope it is useful.
