3 It is said that ‘A friend in need, is a friend indeed’. Everyone needs friends to share happiness and to help one out of difficulties. To be happy with friends, we should find ways of enjoying our friendship and to do that, we should learn how to avoid problems between friends. Everyone is a unique individual, and no one should live without friends. But we don’t need to please our friends unwillingly or flatter them. Another way to avoid problems is to treat friends wholeheartedly. This is the only key to avoid misunderstandings from creeping in a relationship. So, respect your friends and live a happy life with them…
