What is friendship?
We asked six young people for their views.

Isabel
I don't have a big group of friends, but I don't mind because I have several close friends, which I think
is better. We often just sit around and chat. I feel very comfortable talking about my problems
because they always tell me the truth. In my view, that's the key thing in a friendship.

Max
My best friend is serious while I'm the complete opposite. I just like to have a laugh. I don't think it
matters though because we think in the same way. We both love playing computer games and
watching videos. Having similar interests is what makes a good friendship.

Yasemin
When my dad was young, he lived near his friends. These days, teenagers sometimes make friends
on the internet. Some people think that's dangerous, but I think you just have to be sensible and
make sure other people know them, too. My dad only has school friends on social media, not friends
he made online.

Filip
I know a lot of people on social media, but there are only a few who I'd actually call friends. They are
the ones who I value and mean most to me. We chat together, hang out, go to the shops or play
video games together. I don't see some of my online friends very much at all.

Priya
My best friends have different personalities. Claire is always telling jokes. Dana often gives us lovely
gifts. Isabel always has something fascinating to say. The one thing all my friends have in common is
that they are always there for me. For me, that's the most important quality of a good friend.

Martin
When I moved house, I didn't know many people. I'm interested in acting, so I joined a drama group
and made some friends. I think the easiest way to find people who have similar interests to you is to
do something like that. For example, if you like sport, you could join a club.
