    Introduction

    You Are Not Alone

    It seems so easyfriends are friends, arent they? Everyone has friends, dont they? So why a book on friendship?

    Friendship can be simple, and friendship can be complicated. Some people find making friends effortless; they dont know how they do it, but they seem to make friends without even trying. For others, making friends seems difficult, intimidating, or even impossible. They may find themselves tongue-tied when talking with strangers, or reluctant to approach someone they dont know at a party. They may be too shy to say hi to an unfamiliar person, or afraid they might look silly or overeager. They may have been hurt by someone they thought was a friend, and are wary of it happening again. But most people want to have friends, and those barriers to friendship can be overcome. As we explore further in this book, we will find that there are ways to think about friendshipeven some toolswhich can help anyone become more comfortable making friends, keeping friends, and valuing what friendship can bring to our lives.

    Friendships have provided some of the richest relationships of my life, and they continue to do so, as I hope they will for as long as I live. Perhaps because they mean so much to me, Ive thought a lot about the various friendships Ive had throughout my life, what they meant at different times, what they offered me, andhopefullywhat those relationships meant to the friends with whom I shared them. As I started to think more about it, and began talking with others about what friendship means to them, I found that many of the discussions led back to what friendship meant to people when they were young, and how their friendships developed and deepenedand, sometimes, ended. I knew I wanted to explore that further, and find out from young people themselves what they thought about friendship, and what they could tell me about what friendship meant to them, how their friendships developed, and what joysand difficultiesthey found in friendship.

    While for many young people friendships seem to happen naturally, for others making friends is hardand a cause for anxiety and stress. As Ben, one young man I spoke with, put it, There are tons of kids who dont have friends, and want to make friends, but dont know how to do it, or are afraid of trying to do it. But, he continued, Everyone is capable of making friends. Some kids just dont have the confidence to go out and make friends. And it is my hope that some of the insights and tips included in this book will make it easier for those kids to find that making friends is not only possible for them, but a chance for them to find more enjoyment and comfort than they expected.

    In writing this book, I asked young people from around the country what friendship meant to them, and I noticed that their answers mirrored remarkably straightforward, and similar, feelings. Henry, a young man in Washington, DC, told me, A friend is someone that you like, someone that you get along with, someone who has interests you share. Jordana, in New York, said that, to her, friendship means a group who have a bond together, who can trust each other, who can rely on each other for different things. From Judith, I heard that friendship meant Relationships with people that Im close with, people I can trust. And Tali told me, A friend is someone who you can always lean on, no matter what, and theyre always there for you when you need them the most. It was clear that, to these young people, there were qualities they hoped for and expected from friendship, and these were qualities I wanted to delve into further.

    With the help of the many young people I had the pleasure of interviewing for this book, I have been able to explore how friendships are made, the benefits of friendships, different types of friendships, how one can recognize a true friend, how to recognize and deal with a failed or toxic friendship, and what we learn from friendship. These young people spoke openly about their thoughts and feelings about friendships, their difficulties and their joys, and it is their voices I hope will resonate with you, the reader. Thanks to the young people who shared their insights and stories with me, I have been able to include ideas and suggestions I hope many young people will find useful throughout their lives as they make, and keep, good friends.

    What Is Friendship, and Why Is It Important?

    Friends are the keystone to my happiness.Ben, age eighteen

    The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a friend as one attached to another by affection or esteem or a favored companion. It describes friendship as the state of being a friend and a friendly feeling or disposition. These seem to be simple definitions, but lets look deeper and think about what friendship really is, and why it is so important in our lives.
