Why do we need friends?

Friends are equally important at every age as it’s a bond

KARACHI: Friendship is a beautiful relationship people can enjoy between them. It is as important a part of our life as our family. Without friends, we do not enjoy our life. Friends are like a family that we choose for ourselves. Good friends always help, guide and support us at every stage of life. A good friend is a God’s blessing. Blessed are those who have true friends in life.

During childhood, friendship helps us understand and develop the habit of sharing and caring. Kids develop friendships and enjoy each other’s’ company. They play and learn together. As teenagers, we go through certain physical and mental changes. During this period, we must have friends. Many of the problems faced during this age cannot be discussed with our parents and other family members. So, we are very comfortable sharing these with our friends. Good friends are those who listen and advise us. Having good friends around, at every stage of life, brings happiness in life. Friends are equally important at every age as it’s a bond that evolves in nature while becoming even stronger with time.
