Friendship

Friendships come and go throughout our lives. Some people have a group of close friends that never changes throughout their lives, but most have a group of friends that changes often. I’m not saying that we don’t form strong friendships but rather that our friendships often fall away as we get older. First there are friendships at school, then friends who help us through the teenage years, then at college, and beyond. Each stage is different.

In an ideal world, we would make friendships throughout life, but the reality is usually different. People change. Events happen. So, it’s easy to understand why friends become less important as relationships, careers, and children take priority.

Social media has had a real impact on how we communicate with each other, and one of its benefits is that we can easily be connected with friends at any time of any day. For younger generations, keeping in contact with friends on social media is natural. Maybe this is an aspect of social media that older generations should accept. Critics may say that posting things on social media or giving your friends a “like” is not an expression of true friendship. Nobody (at least those over the age of 16), would say that updating your status is as personal as updating your friend about your life over a cup of coffee.

Friendships, whether helped by technology or not, are important. We are always being told that employers value soft skills and emotional intelligence, usually in addition to or sometimes in place of the usual qualifications. Friendships can help us understand ourselves better, develop our communicative skills, and develop our emotional intelligence. Remember that having friends attracts friends, both for your digital self and your real self.

Choose the correct answer.

1 The majority of people have friendships that don’t change throughout our lives.
2 One of the good things about social media is the ease of communication.
3 Older generations need to teach young people about communication.
4 Digital friendships are just as personal as real friendships.
5 There are similarities between real and digital friendships.
