it is easy to make friends. But, it is difficult to maintain it during all the stages of one's life. One cannot enjoy true and permanent friendship if one does not value it. One should have some spare time for one's friend. At different places life schools, college, colonies etc, we come in contact with a number of people. At these places people of similar tastes, likings, hobbies, nature etc., become friends. Thisfriendship becomes close and lasts long. It is also seen that people, come close to one another due to some circumstances, call themselves friends but forget one another as soon as circumstances take them afar.

A true friend inspires other to improve himself. he does not indulge in flattery. He always warns his friend if the latter goes on the wrong track. He always protects his interest. He does not hate him for his weaknesses but tries to improve him. He may annoy him temporarily, but he does that for a goodcause.

One should always try to avoid bad company. A group of bad friends may indulge in smoking, drinking, taking drugs, eve-teasing, fighting, quarrelling etc. One should not hate bad company. One should try to reform them. In this way, one can be of help to the society as a whole.

Friendship has no boundaries of age, time, place or relations. Practically, friendship is made between persons of similar age group. But even a brother, a sister, a husband, a father or a mother can become good friend.

Life is full of uncertainties. The steady affection of a friend is great support in one's life. A friendreduces one's misery and suffering by his sympathy and help. he can increase the intensity of one's joy by sharing it.

Misunderstanding should never be allowed to come in the way of friendship. Friends should stand by each other through thick and thin. A true friend is the extension of one's own self. He is the enrichment of one's being.
