Having friends, and finding new friendships is an important developmental task for preteens and teens. While they have learned to play well with others during their childhood, developing independent friendships is a different thing. Preteens and teens will be allowed to use their own resources to decide whether to be someone’s friend or not, instead of being taught by their parents. Parents must give their teenagers some freedom in choosing who they want to hang out with.
You can help your teens to choose their friends, although it’s your teenagers who make the final decision. You can use teachable moments to talk about what makes a good friend. Here are some points to remember when you talk about friendships with your teenagers:
1) You are allowed to have many friends;
2) Honesty is important in a friendship;
3) Friends sometimes hurt each other, but they can say sorry and forgive(原谅);
4) Friends can influence each other, sometimes they will help you but sometimes they will hurt you, too.
5) Who you choose to be your friend is important, so choose wisely;
6) It takes many learned skills to make and keep a friendship, and it also takes many skills to end a friendship;
7) It is okay and even helpful to make friends with the opposite gender(异性);
8) It takes time to make a good friend, but it is worth the effort;
9) Spending time together will help you get to know your friends well and you will feel comfortable sharing feelings;
10) A good friendship will make you feel good about yourself.

Do you remember the name of your kindergarten(幼儿园) teacher? I do. Her name was Mrs White.
I don’t remember much about we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she could see there were so many mistakes. no red corrections. And always a star. Sometimes even a Good! It worried my mother, so one day she went to Mrs White and asked her why she corrected my mistakes.
And my mother says Mrs White said “The children are just to get excited about using words, about forming sentences. I don’t want to lose the interests with red ink(墨水). and grammar can wait. The wonder of won’t... ”.Maybe she didn’t say it exactly like that at that moment. And what my mother gave me was the main idea of what she could remember.
I now and think Mrs White must have been a rather teacher. She encouraged joy, wonder and excitement — even if our expression of it was . Because she believed a bud(花蕾)once nipped(掐断) never opens.
I used to misspell “beautiful” a lot. Never could quite remember that the e went the a. It annoyed my teacher in high school very much. If I was going to use the word so often, she considered the I could do was spell it right. Finally the e’s and a’s were in their right places. Am glad I didn’t wait on them though. Pretty is to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you mean sometimes.
And Mrs White I had no worries about writing what I meant. Because Life isn’t Pretty. It’s Baeutiful.
