Friendship is a valuable gift, but good friends are often hard to find. Building friendships is a lifelong, but worthwhile job.
A few points for making new friends：
●Take part in classes, clubs, or volunteer organizations. These activities will bring you into contact with people who have c1. interests.
●Make yourself available. If you want to make friends, you first need to put yourself out there somehow in order to meet people. If you just sit alone, friends might come to you – but that’s not likely. If you’re still in school, sit somewhere with other people. It doesn’t have to be a crowded table, but one with at least two other people. Remember, friends s2. come knocking on your door while you sit at home playing on your laptop.
