    Are you having trouble finding friends? Need  some advice? We have all the answers on making friends for ages 8-12. 

When making a friend you must always be nice and listen, even if the conversation is boring. Treat people with kindness and always forgive them. Also remember to be true to yourself and others. If you could try to be humble and modest. Nobody likes a bragger.    

Even though being honest is the best way toward a good friendship, a little white lie could be o.k. For example, if your friend is sick tell them that they look better even if they don’t, or if you two were in a fight, tell them that you are sorry and you were wrong even if you think you were right. A little white lie could go a long way. Here are some other ways you can make a friend:

      *   make them feel welcome, try to also let them feel comfortable around you 

*   if you are shy or you don’t know what to say you could tell them about yourself, let them get to know you. Then ask them about them.

      *   if you feel the conversation is getting boring, try a fun activity like        drawing or riding bikes.

  *   don’t be afraid (or shy) to get to know someone. Start with telling them your name and some interests of yours and who knows? You might become really good friends.        

  Whatever you do always remember, that a good friend is hard to find. But if you try hard and maybe use this advice, you could find terrific freind!
