Article: Showing Support for Friends
When your friend is sad or worried, it is important to show support. You can listen to them and let them talk about their feelings. Sometimes, just being there is enough. You can also say kind words. For example, you might say, “I am here for you” or “You are not alone.”
Another way to show support is to help with small tasks. If your friend is busy, you can offer to help with their homework or carry their bag. It makes them feel better when someone cares.
Sharing happy moments is also important. Invite your friend to do something fun, like going to the park or watching a movie. This helps them feel loved and appreciated.
Remember, showing support is not just about words. It is about actions too. A hug, a smile, or a simple text can make a big difference. Always try to be a good friend and show that you care.
