Why do we need friends? Well, having friends may well keep you healthier and help you deal with stress better. Some studies show that people with close friends have a greater ability to fight disease than people who are lonely. But never take a friendship for granted. Like a good marriage, friendship needs care and patience（耐心）.Here is something to remember to maintain（维持）a friendship:

    Make friendship the most important thing. Find the time to be with your friends even if it means letting the grass go unmoved or the dishes unwashed for a while. When you can’t get together, use the phone to keep in touch.

    Open up to close friends. Don’t be afraid to express your inner fears and disappointments. Listen to your friends when they have problems, but offer advice only when it’s wanted.

    Have different friends for different activities, such as going to the movies, singing in a choir, or taking part in a bowling league.

    Don’t wait for a friend to ask a favor. When a friend has the flu, offer to go to the store to buy some pills or drive his / her children to their after-school activities.

    How to make new friends?

    You can start a group, such as a discussion group on gardening or books. Place an ad in a community newspaper to find people.

    Talk to strangers to find new friends. You should be cautious（谨慎的）and use your common sense, of course. Conversations started in museums, laundry rooms, or bookstores can lead to firm friendships.

Many people find it hard to make friends.  61  All it takes is for you to get out of your shell and remember that if you love yourself, others will too. Especially being a teen, making friends can be hard or easy depending on several factors．

Relax. It’s all about confidence---if you are nervous or try too hard to look cool you’ll just act strange. So you won’t make many friends. You will stand out as overdoing(做得过分) something．

You have to act as you have had plenty of friends in the past, so even the “cool” ones will want to speak to you. 62  Be relaxed．People will like you for passing a peaceful energy．

Make the first move. Don’t be shy because it won’t help you in anything. Look around for people that seem interesting, and go up to talk to them. A good subject to talk about to anyone is music because almost everybody likes music. 63 Try not to get deep when you are first meeting somebody.

64  Everyone likes to be heard. So give attention to what others say, look straight in their eyes and show you’re paying attention. If this person feels that you’re listening to him, your new friend will enjoy your company more．

Develop friendships. You may talk to someone now but soon they’ll forget you if you stop． 65  Say their name as often as you can. When you greet them, say things like, “Hey Alex!”，“What’s going on, Sarah?’’ If you do that every day, they’ll be happy that you care about them and remember them, so they won’t forget you and you will be good friends．

E. Invite your new friends to go out together with you．

F. Think of good reasons why someone would like to meet you．
