After a brief hiatus due to snow and from playing catch-up after an extended Winter Break, the Sisterhood is back. Today we discussed friendships. The girls from 2nd lunch each had different ideas as to what they felt made someone a good friend - honesty, loyalty, being a nice person, someone who likes doing the same things as you, or someone who has a similar personality. A Sister from 3rd lunch felt that unconditional acceptance of her was important, and another thought that having similar values and ideals. Is there anything that's missing that you feel is vital in a good friend?
We also talked about the term "best friend". What that means and how it's different from just a regular friend. Some Sisters felt that best friends feel almost like family and you can trust them completely. Others thought that there are too many people in the world to get to know and be friends with than to just pick one out to label as a best friend.
3rd lunch had a lively discussion about boys' friendships versus girls' friendships. The group agreed that boys seem to have friendships where at one moment they're calling each other names, and punching each other and then laughing and joking around the next moment. We wondered why girls can't be like that, that whenever a girl friend does us wrong, we have to hold grudges. Ms. Zoref wondered why girls are always dragging each other down to get the attention of a boy. Why is it so hard for so many girls to put friends first (before boys)? What do you guys think? What are other things that can cause issues in girls' friendships besides boys? Leave a comment and let us know.
See you next week!

Friendship is like a gift. You can either take it or leave it. You should treasure friendship and treat your friends the way you would want to be treated. Of course when a girl likes a boy they can't help, but act weird soemtimes b/c they just want to get the attention of the boy they like. Best friends are call "best friends" for a reason. They are usually the people who are closer to the one person than everybody else. They are the one person that you can trust 100%. I have a best friend although she lives in another state. We are still best friends, nothing can change that.
