It is very important to have a friend especially at school because you support each other when someone is weak. At school as we are students we came from different homes and tribes we learn different behaviours from others. As such when selecting friends lets choose those who can help us and have good behaviours.

A friend is good because when the teachers has given me homework am able to discuss with my friend and when a teacher was teaching and I  did not understand am able to get more clarification from my friend.

Sometimes I have challenges which I cannot solve on my own so l ask my friend to help me what to do. My friend also brings a lot of smile to my life. It may happen that something bad  happenened to me or my friend and when we share the feelings we are able to comfort each other and then we forget about the pain.

So I encourage you to choose good friends so that you can benefit from them.
