Friends for life

Your thoughts (61)

Becoming friends with Glory and Chioma has so far been one of the best decisions I have made in my life.

They are the best friends anyone can wish for. I can’t imagine my life without them. Every second with them is so much fun.

Talk about “friends turned sisters”.

My friends are so supportive. They are like what you would call “a backbone”.

They are always there for me through the ups and the downs. Just like the way they stood by me, when my boyfriend broke up with me. Thanks to their support, I was able to pick myself up after the whole experience.

One beautiful thing about our friendship is how we celebrate each other. I remember when I started learning to sew, they were my models. And when I finished my training they went about telling girls in our community that I was the best tailor. Thanks to them, I got customers.

They are very real with me. I don’t have to pretend for them to like me. And when I make mistakes, they don’t judge me or make fun of me.

This friendship has taught me so much. I have learnt about boys, money, life, and even music from our gist. And some days when we don’t have answers to some of our questions Glory gets the answer from her mum and shares it with us.

These girls have made my life much easier even though some days we have our differences. But hey that’s life.

My girls rock any day and any time.

This is why I will like to advise girls to make friends like my friends. Look for girls that have the same interest as you do. Like my friends and I like music. Make friends with people who will help you grow.

You do need close friends that are the same age as you because, there are times you might just want to talk to someone your age. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t talk to older or younger people about things. Older people can be more experienced and can really help us out too.

Hey precious! Thanks for the comment. There is nothing stopping you from doing these with your friends. You do not have to wait till you get female friends to do this. This is what friendship is about. To learn how to make friends, please read the stories under #friendship below. We hope this helps

Hey ulysherh! Thanks for the comment. First of all, you need to know that there is a difference between having a crush and being in love. You cannot fall in love with someone you do not know personally. You have to know the person very very well. You do not really know Abdul and you are already concluding that you love him. From your comment. It is obvious that you have a crush on him and you need to know that crush is not love. Secondly, you mentioned that he stopped responding after he learnt that it was you he was chatting with. This means that he is not interested in what you are suggesting. You need to take things very slow. You cannot catch his heart because you are not even sure of what it is that you feel for him. The first point is that you do not love him and you need to tell a trusted adult about this. We hope this helps

You are making yourself very cheap. Stop this infatuation and have a life.

Hey Mhiz220! Thanks for the comment. A boyfriend that does not make you happy is not a boyfriend. You deserve all the happiness in the world and if a guy does not make you happy, you should walk away and then also make yourself happy. We hope this helps

Hey Pinkisreal! Thanks for the comment. This is a personal decision and it is up to you to make at the moment. If you have a bad friend and you are not comfortable around, you are in the best position to make up your mind on what you want out of that friendship. We hope this helps

Do not tell them ur secret and stop making friends with them.

then d best thing for u to do is to cut them off.

Breakup with the guy first, he his irresponsible, den u stop hanging out with that gal

Hey Rodi! Thanks for the comment. We are so sorry about this. We understand that this can be painful and sad but you need to know that these two people (your boyfriend and your best friend) do not deserve to be in your life. @TOPEDOSKI has said it all. We hope this helps

Thank you TOPEDOSKI

ANYTIME SHE IS NOT IN SUPPORT OF YOU,AT THE END IS SHE ALWAYS RIGHT?.IF YES,DON'T LEAVE HER

ANYTIME SHE IS NOT IN SUPPORT OF YOU AT THE END IS SHE ALWAYS RIGHT?IF YES DON'T LEAVE HER.

Hey Maykwin! Thanks for the comment. When you say she is not being supportive, do you mean that she throws down your ideas or just doesn't encourage you to do certain things? Please let us know. Also, you need to know that it is also your duty to encourage a friend too. So do not expect to be encouraged if you do not also encourage others. If she is downright not supportive, you need to cut her off like @ZINZI said. We hope this helps

Hi big sis i had love someone since 6 mnths . And that person also likes and told his friend. But wen we play t&d game he is always shy wat can i do make him confess his love to me;-(

Hey Maykwin! Thanks for the comment. You cannot make someone confess that they love you. The person will only talk when he is ready to do so. What you need to do is to go to him and have a conversation about it and not wait for t&d games to get this information. We hope this helps

Hi big sis, pls help me out, there's diz guy asking me of friendship he loves me nd I love him too Bt am afraid am leaving wit my brother's wife both her nd my siblings don't want me to get involved in any relationship I am been monitor like wat I don't know, am 18 nd they're still treating me like under 10 I don't like it, pls I don't know wat to do, pls I need ur advice.

Hey Abike! Thanks for the comment. No one is trying to monitor you, they are probably only trying to protect you. Do you know this guy well enough to say that you love him or he loves you? Love is deeper than what we usually call it. What does this guy like? How does he react when he is upset? Is he forgiving? There are so many things you need to know about a person before you can start to say you love the person. Your family is not against you. Please do not start to avoid them because of a guy. We hope this helps

Hey Marble! Thanks for the comment. There is nothing wrong with have friends of the opposite sex. It is totally acceptable. We hope this helps

hi Geary making friends can be a little difficult for some people but I suggest you should communicate with the person you want to be friends and remember never allow your friends to chose you,cause their are something you must be looking for in a friend and remember to chose wisely.Geary can we be friends.

Yes nice talk

Hey geary! Thanks for the comment. @Jbaby is right. What you need to know is that making friends is as easy as smiling and saying Hi to someone. There are no other secrets because when you smile, you are more approachable. Have a conversation but start by saying Hi. We hope this helps
