Why is it important to make friends at school?

Making friends helps you feel happy, safe and strong at school.

When you have friends at school, you don't feel lonely. You have people to play with at break time and to help you with your work. Friends listen to you on a hard day and make you laugh.

Friendships teach you how to share, wait your turn and listen to others. Sometimes you argue, but you also learn how to make up. This is a skill that helps you a lot as you grow up.

Having friends beside you also makes you feel braver. When you're scared to try something new, having a friend with you gives you courage.
