Why Friendship Matters

A friend in need is a friend indeed a proverb that stands in the test of time. God does not create friends. We acquire them from the adversaries which they face together. A friend is always there by your side at all times. As prosperity makes a friend. Good friends know all about one another as they don’t have any secrets with each other.

“Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you haven’t learned anything.” -Muhammad Ali

Friendship matters as they help us smile and laugh, and persist to be by your side no matter what. But it turns out that friends are good for a whole lot more.

Everyone has peers. Peer pressure is a common setting in an environment where we share the same practices and settings. Yet, it shifts to the good and the bad at different avenues. In the end, it’s up to you to decide whether it should be bad or the good. Visit: benefits of peer mentoring

To Handle the Bad

1. One must pay attention to the surge of feelings you get. If it doesn’t feel right then you must leave the scene.
2. Plan and make sure you give an appropriate answer to why you feel uncomfortable.
3. And the best way to sneak out of any situation that is pressuring is to make an excuse, but this time it’s for a good cause.

Life is filled with adventures, there are ups and downs just like a rollercoaster so make sure you have a good friend by your side to be in those ditches and hills.
