friendship

The main issues on this link were about friendships and and issues from chapter 10 on pressures of friendship.  The issues reflect challenges to friendship discussed in this chapter a lot. People always tend to have rough patches in a friendship and either have to get through it or move on and i guess make new friends. Some people stated on this forum that they are losing their friendships with others and they do not know how to prevent losing their friend. Both internal and external tensions are included in these situations. Many problems stated in the forms are that their friends' personality is changing which is usually how it goes once people grow up.This forum also includes advice on how to help people support their friends; this was described in chapter 10. There were different sections on topics about friendship advice forum to help those with problems.  Sexual attraction towards their friends was interesting because you always meet and get to like a friend and tend to have that sexual attraction towards the. Based off my own experiences, I believe sexual attraction cause a friendship to break because one might not have the same feeling then it gets awkward.....  Throughout high school, I hung out and made a lot of guy friends because it was easier for me and i didn't want to deal with girls and their drama. Attraction and sexual attraction always ruins a friendship, which sucks so people are better off keeping it to themselves unless they don't care for the friendship anymore or just can't be friends because it is just too hard for them.

  1. I will agree with you 100% that as we grow up, friendships are like passing or failing grades. I thank God that I met my best friend the beginning of senior year because we already mature and just thinking real life matters. I wouldn't say sexual attractions ruin friendships but I will say when you act on those instincts, it moves the comfort zone line back a bit. Also, dating your friend that you are "close" with could be very risky as well. Some things are meant to be the way the are and then naturally, allow the emotions to come together as one.
