Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel someone. It is nice to have a friend totalk， to laugh， and to do things with. ，sometimes we need to be 1）alone. We don’talways want people around. But we wouldfeel 2）lonely if we never had a friend.

No two people are just . Friendssometimes don’t get on well. That doesn’t meanthat they like each other. Most ofthe time they will make up and become friendsagain.

Sometimes friends move away. Then wefeel very sad. We miss them very much， but wecan call them and write to them. It could be that we would even see them again. And we can make new friends.It is surprising to how much we like new peoplewhen we get to know them.

There’s more for people who have friends.They live longer than people who don’t. Why？ It could bethat they are happier. Being happy helps you to stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone . Ifsomeone cares about you， you take better care of yourself.
