Dear Mr Black£¬

I used to have a really good group of friends. Now they're all getting into smoking and drinking. I want to find a new group of friends, but I'm shy. How can I know who are the types of people I should make friends with, and who will accept me?

Yours£¬

Mike

Dear Mike£¬

You've already made a very important step because you've realized that it's time to find new friends. Making and keeping good friends is a challenge for all of us, whether you are shy or not. Since you've done this successfully before, one thing is to think back on how you developed friendships in the past.

Probably the best way to make and keep friends is to find others who share your interests. Lasting friendships often develop between people who enjoy the same activities. You also want to be with friends who share your values and goals for life. It just depends on what your own interests are.

That old saying is also true — the best way to have a friend is to be a friend. Reach out to the others who share your interests, sit with them at lunch, invite them to join you in the activities you all like, listen to their thoughts and tell them yours. Being a real friend takes time and effort. With time and effort, I'm sure you will find some very good friends during your school years and you'll always be in touch after leaving school.
