2. a listening ear to share challenges or joys,
3. a shoulder to lean on when life is difficult,
4. companionship,
5. the ability to tell you the truth when others might not (assuming you want to hear the truth).One of the unusual benefits of friendship is you never have to worry about being homeless.

The importance of friendship? Ask homeless people.

Friends don't let friends live on the streets.

But the biggest benefit that friendships offer each of us, whether we're just entering daycare or a 90 year old great grandmother, is happiness.

Friends are an aid to the young, to guard them from error; to the elderly, to attend to their wants and to supplement their failing power of action; to those in the prime of life, to assist them in noble deeds. ---Aristotle

What price can you place on having one true best friend who's always there for you?

MAKING FRIEND IS FUN

Many people prefer the safety of being lonely because they're secure in their loneliness. Sounds bizarre, i know.

They don't have to risk rejection and a hurt heart if they approach others and others don't want to be friends.

One thing kids need to learn is that when people decide not to be friends with us, we don't always know the reason.

Lots of times it has nothing to do with whom we are as people. It's often about the other person.

And the thing about life is we all deal with rejection. Yet, we survive, we don't fall to pieces, life goes on.

Helping grasp they are beautiful, unique PERSON who deserve love and all the benefits of friendship that come from friends gives THEM the courage to make new friends.
