Students from Fulrad college in Sarreguemines shared their thoughts on friendship during a sidewalk microphone. Their testimonies reveal touching and candid perspectives on this essential connection.
For these young people, friendship is based above all on trust.
Friendship is precious. You have to know how to choose the right people, have confidence in them, because trust is broken very quickly and above all because friendship helps us and allows us not to be alone
Support in difficult times
Friends are seen as pillars of support, especially in times of distress.
If we’re sad, we have someone to talk to. She will be able to support us when we need someone and be there for us when we don’t have anyone.
Daily complicity
Friendship is also nourished by the little joys shared on a daily basis.
Actually, it’s like with family, with our friends. We laugh, we tell each other things, a lot of things. We talk about our crushes, we talk about what’s happening at home.
Links that are created in different ways
Video games and books: bridges to friendship
Video games and reading can also play a role in forming friendships. You can see this in a video game. There is nothing better for making friends. Video games have allowed us to know each other better, to get closer
Similarly, another student says:
Because of a book, we read the same book and as a result, we often talked about the books and then we read others.
Family friends
Family ties can also be the origin of beautiful friendships.
I met my first best friend through our parents, because our parents were in the same middle school. Since then, they have been best friends and so, we too have been best friends since we were little.
Friendship: a mirror of oneself
Kind advice
Friends often play the role of advisors, not hesitating to correct our mistakes.
When, for example, we have done something wrong and we don’t necessarily realize it, our friend is there to tell us that yes, you didn’t do that correctly or you would have could have acted differently
A valuable relationship
Friendship is precious and you have to be careful,
concludes a student, reminding us that friendly relations require care and mutual respect.
