Friendship Factors

Today we had a complicated talk with a gentle lady name Jannah which stands for
Gracious Gift. She was an interesting give-a-go lady who adores talking and is very
joyful. She enjoys talking with others and getting people interested in something and is
very friendly! She is very humorous.

Her talk was about Friendship Factors and she gave us some tips on how to make friends
and how to make yourself look stupid! She talked about many things including “Girl Girl
friendships” and “Guy Guy friendships”, also she added “Girl Guy friendships” which
everyone was disgusted by the thought. She talked more about how girls take friendships
really farand how boy’s don’t really and aren’t as sensitive about what people call them!

She gave us 6 categories, while elaborating on each of them very slowly so that we would
understand her meaning. The two that I found most important was
“How To Make Friends” and “How to embarrass yourself in front of others”, let’s say you
were trying to show off on a motorised bike trying to do a wheelie while in your mind you
have no idea on what your doing because you’ve never done it before. Some of the ways
that you can be a good friend is by just being yourself otherwise you will make yourself
look like a idiot in front of everyone!
