24、Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, especially their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice. It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friend can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.

Myth no. 1: A real friend will never disappoint you.

Myth no. 2: The more friends you have, the better.

Myth no. 3: Friends share everything.

Myth no. 4: If you have no friends, something is wrong with you.

In our show, we spoke to teens from different countries. Read what they think.

Burcu, Istanbul, Turkey

Nobody is perfect, so why do we think friends can be perfect? We all make mistakes, so it’s only normal that there are times when good friends make mistakes, too. Perhaps you think that a really good friend always knows what you need. That’s wrong—be careful! Sometimes you need to say to your friends, “Please do this” or “Don’t do that”. Don’t forget that there are times when you’re stressed or unhappy, too. Then they can’t help you the way you would like them to.

Flavia, Sao Paulo, Brazil

There can be times in your life when you have a lot of friends, and over times when you have only one or two. Maybe you don’t have many friends right now because, for example, you are in a new city or school. When you don’t have any friends, it’s important to wait and be patient. Make sure you are a cordial person—so other people want to make friends with you.

Fernanda, Quito, Ecuador

You want to be a good friend, right? To build a good friendship, it’s important to have fun together, to listen to your friends when they have a problem, to help them when they need you , or just to go and watch a film together, or play some sport. And that takes time! That’s why I think it’s better to have one or two friends, and not a lot of friends.

Nikolay, Florence, Italy

It’s not a good idea to wait for others to make you happy. There are times when you are happy, and other times when you are sad. And when you are not happy, try to think, “What can I do to stop this? How can I help myself?” Friendship is a place to share happiness, but there may be times when you and your friends aren’t happy. And that’s OK.
