Friendship is born at that moment when one man says to another: "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . ." ― C. S. Lewis, The Four Loves

We make those people our friends who have some similarities with us. These similarities can be in terms of common interests, having the same way of thinking and visualizing things, having common hobbies, etc. A friend is someone we admire and respect, and turn to for help in times of need and difficulties.

Friendships can last really long if friends have complete faith in each other. A person's age and financial position are not the criteria for being buddies with him/her, but getting along well in all situations is important for the friendship to survive.

To avoid problems and misunderstandings, it is necessary to meet your friends frequently to share thoughts and experiences. Here are some ideas for fun things that you can do with your buddies according to your age group.
