678 TRUST IS TRUST AT FIFTEEN Part 3

TRUST IS TRUST AT FIFTEEN  Part 3

Jill and Steven are fifteen years old.  Their friendship began when they met as neighbors and pre school classmates at the ripe, old age of three. :)

Jill:
Steven is a special person to me.  For twelve years our families have been friends, and we were classmates.  Last year, we went to different schools, but we call each other often and want to be together.  We know each other really well, and we enjoy the same things, like tennis, skiing and hearing about each other's new friendships and new schools.  A good friend is someone you can talk to and trust.

Steven:
I've known Jill longer than any of the other girls, and over the years, we've done so many fun things ... we kind of grew up together.  I'm big on trust, and I know I can trust Jill.  I don't have to feel embarrassed about the way I act when I'm with her.  A close friend is someone you can talk to and tell problems to.  When looking for friendship, a fun attitude, a good sense of humor and reliability are important.  You can be nice to others without being a follower ... a good friend does not try to push you around but allows you to act the way you really are.

Hmmm ... a good friend does not try to push you around ...

Food for thought ...
At every age, we're more apt to learn from friends than foe ...
