Friends play a big impact on your school and personal life. Friends make you feel less alone. When you have group work and you don’t have friends, you’re okay with anybody being paired with you. But when you have friends, you are more likely to look forward to being paired with your friends.
How you spend your time ⏰
Friends really affect how you spend your time both at home and at school. If you don’t have many friends or don’t have friends at all, you’ll most likely focus on your studies and just eat and maybe do some homework and your life would be boring. You’ll have very heavy pressure crushing on your shoulders because you have nobody to talk to and express your feelings to at school. Having friends is like being in a completely different world. Friends will accompany you and smile and wink at you during class, which will make you very happy and excited while taking that class. You’ll walk to different classes with your pal (s). During lunchtime, you and your friend (s) will sit together and eat together. You’ll maybe play some video games and go to the library to hang out together. You also might meet up sometime at the park or somewhere for a playdate and have fun. Your life would be much brighter and happy with friends. I hope you see the benefits of friends.
The Decision of making the correct type of friends ✔️
You might ask, “what do you mean by correct types of friends? Aren’t we supposed to choose who we like to be with and make friends of our own choice?” Well, let me give you an example: You join a new school and are looking forward to making new friends. There are two big friend groups in the class and you hope you join one so you can make lots of new friends quicker. Group A has kids who don’t do homework to look cool, don't care about grades, spray paint on random walls in the school with inappropriate things, and bully little kids. Group B has children who often go outside for a play date on weekends, join fun clubs and study together after school, and are extra welcoming to the new kids who just joined this school. Which group are you going to choose? The obvious answer is the kids of Group B. Group A people would only make you lower your grades and get you into trouble. Group B students would push you to become a better person and pass the grade successfully. I hope you learned something from this example scenario. Next time when you make friends, look for friends that are like the students in Group B. That would make you a better person for sure. 👍
