Repair imbalances and settle disputes

​There will inevitably be conflicts in any relationship. Friends are unique people with their own lives, minds, emotions, and viewpoints.​

Be there

Even if you haven't spoken to your friends in person for some time, a quick text or phone call can go a long way towards preserving your friendship.​

Call them at least once a week

​When you both have free time, give your friend a call. Find out how they are doing and if anything interesting is going on in their lives by asking them questions. ​

Boost one another up

Being a caring friend requires you to be a good communicator and listener. People have a tendency to rely on one another for support, especially when they are in need.

Keep the little things in mind

Special occasions are significant, but they are not everything. On the basis of the little things you do together, friendships are frequently formed and sustained.

Make the time to socialise

Your friends and you both lead busy lives. But that doesn't mean you have no free time at all.

Always be honest with them

You must be honest with one another in order to build a strong friendship. It's simple to overlook the gift of having someone you can give and receive feedback from.

Stop making excuses

A big letdown is cancelling. If you do it too frequently, your friend will begin to doubt you. They consider you to be unreliable.

Recognise that friendships evolve

Your high school friends won't always remain the same. Over time, a person's attitudes and interests evolve. You won't see each other every day at school like you used to, but that's okay too.
