Watch the movies, read some books. Look out for the part of friendship. What do you get? Bunch of friends hanging out together, going through thick and thin....bla bla bla. Why doesn't it happen to us? All I can say is, blame it on yourself, your family and your society. We're too timid, our parents too strict, the society too conservative.
Take this for an example. we have two girls, Annie and Betty. They met in school and they really bond because they like the same things and take interest in similar things. They hang out together every weekends and become even closer. And sometimes Betty will come over to stay at Annie's house and vice-versa. Annie's parents know Betty. Betty's parents know Annie. They're as close as can be. if Annie ever have a problem, Betty will go to her house and sort it out with her. During Halloween, they will go trick and treating together. and during Christmas, they visit each other. Look don't you see the perfect movie type of friendship?
Take another case. We have two other girls. Cassie and Dinah. They met in school and they really bond because they like the same things and take interest in similar things. They want to hang out together to watch the movies, but Cassie's mother says no because she wants Cassie to stay at home. Dinah is upset. Then, Cassie wants Dinah to stay over at her house. Dinah says she can't because her mother wouldn't allow her to. Cassie is upset. Cassie's parents can't really be bothered to find out about cassie's friends and Dinah's parents are too busy to look out for such things. If Dinah has a problem, she doesn't dare to call Cassie because Cassie's mother doesn't allow her to talk on the phone for too long. They both don't celebrate Halloween or Christmas. The only time they really see each other is in school and occasionally when they're allowed to meet up. Look, don't you see the typical friendship people have nowadays?
Friendship must be nurtured. To nurture friendship, you need time and opportunities to bond. and honestly, I don't think you can do a lot of bonding just by sitting next to each other in school. Somehow, kids in the western countries seem to be able to bond more easily. I guess their parents are less strict and the society makes them like that, I suppose. Even kids in International schools bond more easily. The other day, I met a whole bunch of international school kids. 8 of them. All were hanging out together. I think getting 8 of your friends to go out with you is an almost impossible task because nobody seems to be free these days, But I look at all 8 of them, hanging out and having lots of fun and doing crazy things... and i wonder how they are able to achieve that.
Oh well, I like my friends. But sometimes I just wish we could do more things together because we never seem to do anything together except to watch the movies. and guess what you do when you watch the movies, you see the screen and there's no interaction with your friends. I wish we can do crazier things. But nowadays, nobody seems to be able to.
