What is friendship? Friendship is when you like a stranger and when he/she likes you. You then get a close bond between each other and start to do things together. Most friends have common things between each other. Such examples are like you both like the same color, sport, T.V show .etc. You don't need friendship, but it sure helps if you don't have a brother or sister to keep you company. Well most kids think that sisters and brothers aren't good because they keep bothering them. But if you can't find a friend/friends then you're brother/sister should give you a little company.

Well you should still have friends, having a sibling or no siblings. Well for one thing, they should always stick up to you when you're in trouble. If you are getting made fun of, there’s a good chance that you're friends will come up and defend you. This has happened to me several times. Without friends you will have some trouble in school. Well if you don't have friends and you're enemies find out, they will make fun of you a lot more. Yes, they'll think you're weak and won't hesitate to bother you. They can even beat you up and no one can help you. If friends don't help you out when you're in trouble, then theres a good chance that the friend/friends don't care about you and you shouldn't hang out with them. So then get good friends that stick up to you. Not some times, but all the time.

Now, I'll write what features a friend should have so you will like him/her.

One thing is that the friend should stick up to you all the time. The friend should also invite you to his or her house to play in. The friend should share, respect and be near you.

You will also have better relations with your friends if you treat the person the same way the person treats you. You should also invite your friend/friends to your house. The best thing is that your friend is as old as you. There’s nothing bad about having friends that are older or younger than you. But I recommend that you have a friend about as old as you. The friend should also stay with you for at least 4 months. If he/she leaves too soon, then that’s not really good. You should also give a present to the friend if he/she is leaving. The friend should do the same if you are moving away too.

The thing that really makes a good friend is that if the friend is the same kind as you. If you are a male, British person, then another male, British friend will be better off. Of course you can have a friend that is totally different from you, but a person of the same kind works better. It just seems to be that way for me, I guess.

I guess that's all I can write about friendship now. Bye!
