Keys
By Kirsty, 13, Gloosop, Derbyshire, England
Some people would travel for miles Climb up mountains and over stiles Swim the deepest oceans and seas Searching for the long lost keys Keys to friendship hidden long ago Guarded by creature, arrow and bow Long have some yearned for them Like search for a flower not it's stem The stem is strong but the flower has died The keys are gone from where they once lied But if those yearning men Had ventured from their brooding den They would have known That you don't need skin to make bone What I am trying to say Is the keys could stay where they lay And to be a true friend You need not lend Any forgotten treasure Just for good measure And say 'All I need to be is me'!

The thing about friends
By Tanya, 10, Enniskillen, N. Ireland
The thing about friends Is that they are always there for you They help you when you're sad They are there for you when you are in trouble A friend isn't just someone who you use all the time A friend is someone that you play with That you share your things with So remember you'll need a friend when You're older so don't lose him/her now If you do then you will regret it February 2003

Forever My Friend
By Kathryn, 14, Miami, Florida, USA
My Best Friend is caring, kind, giving, unique and beautiful. We met when we were five, in kindergarden. She wanted a purple crayon, and thats how our frienship began. Hannah is amazing she is always by my side and we are inseparable. My parents and sister see her almost as much as me. We do everything together study, talk, and best of all laugh we have identical personalities. Hannah, I love you you are the most important person in the world to me, I wouldn't be who I am without you! February 2003

My best friend
By Kimberly, 10, Australia
Hi my name is Kimberly and I have two best friends called Katie and Jane. Sometimes we fight but we always make up.When I'm lonely or sad they are always there right beside me. We share laughs and pain, we share sorrow and joy. I have know them since kindy and we were best friends on the first day. You should take good care of your friends because you don't always know what's coming round the corner or when it is going to get here. A best friend does not have to be rich or have a big house and if you have a best friend like that - and you know you're only their best friend because of that - then you should not be best friends with them.

Friends
By Emma , 21 , Australia
I never usually see my friends now. They've gone overseas, in different parts of the world. I thought I would always be able to keep in touch with them and talk to them, but now I realise this might not be the case.
I still think of them every day. i still hope they'll call me. But being honest, life's circumstances find us apart and it'll get harder as we get older. I know I'll speak to them again one day, even if Christmas goes by, even if new year goes by. I wish I could do things with them every weekend, and I miss them often, but maybe I'll see them again soon one day.
Then there are the internet long distance friends, some who I've never met, some who I have. And some who I feel like I've known for ages, even if I've never seen their faces. Anyone who knows me, will say it's a pleasure knowing me and I say that straight back to them. I love them all, and even though we may not be able to see each other in flesh, I love them all the same. February 2003

Chris
By Betty, 8, Mankato, MN, USA
There is a boy in my class. He is not the easiest boy to get along with. He argues with the teacher. He pushed in line. And he does gross things. None of the kids like him.
One day he was crying because someone was not nice to him. The teacher said he got a taste of his own medicine. I didn't like that. That boy isn't nice to me. But maybe that is because nobody is nice to him. Something to think about. January 2003

The bestest ever friend!!!!!!!!!!
By Elizabeth, 10, Wirral, UK
My name is Elizabeth, I used to attend St. Wulstans Primary School but I had to move because of my dad's job. At my last school I had a best friend called Sally, she was really kind and was a true friend. We still keep in touch by writing letters we also sometimes see each other because I visit my family! we really miss each other a lot!!! Maybe if you miss your true friend, try to find out their address and write them a letter! (Feb 2003)

What Matters!
By Nathalie, 10, Fort Myers, Florida, USA
To me best friends should always be trusting and loyal. They shouldn't care if you're fat or skinny small or tall. What really matters is what is inside of the person like thoughts and feelings. How best friends treat you and other people is what's important. If more people wouldn't care so much what's on the outside, then people would be a whole lot better off. That is what I think friendship is all about. January 2003

Friends
By Anna, 13, Tasmania
Friends are the people who get you through life. They support you and don't leave you hanging. Without friends, you are in your own world, a lonely world where you float around, getting nowhere. If you are a true friend, you will have true friends. January 2003

Choosing good friends
By Chelsea, 10, CA, USA
I sort of have a little problem. I just started at this school in September and this girl asked me to be in her popular group. She's nice, funny, pretty, and smart just like me. She's my best friend, but my mom doesn't like her. What should I do? Should I dump my friend or the other way around? January 2003

I Shall Never Forget
By Kirsten, 12, Stirlingshire, Scotland
My life revolves around you, And why? Ill never know. And why I cry for endless nights, For which, I have nothing to show.
Whatever draws me to you, By whatever force, I am pulled, A single sneer in my direction, And forever I am fooled.
That any careless gesture, As a laugh, for all your peers, Will leave my inner self still yearning for you, And my outer self struck with tears.
Careless? Maybe, I do not know. Heartless, the truth I wish to find, As well as all these questions, That seem to linger in my mind.
Are you cold and heartless? Is there more to be revealed? I shall one day find these answers, And never, shall I yield.
To any remarks or comments, That will mentally do me harm, And always, I am sure you know, Bewitched am I under your charm.
So all that I may wish for, All that I dream will be, Together, I and you, Forever, you and me.
And once this day is over, And the sun begins to set, Ill tell you this, for once and ever, You, I shall never forget. January 2003

All about friend ship
By Katie, 10, Chaddesden, UK
I think friendship is very thoughtful. Friends can help you if you fall over and you can have a lot of fun with friends because you can play things with them. Friends are very kind and trusting. You don't have to have friends at school you can have them any where, like at home or on holiday. If you meet a friend on holiday you can write to them. Friends care for you. You can fall out with your friends but you make up and still be friends. You can ring up your friends and have a sleepover, it is really fun. Friends watch out for you. You can do the same for them as well, but you must always remember do use your manners, please and thank you. You can have boys as a friend as well. You can do anything with friends. January 2003

Special Friend
By Faye, 14, Preston, Lancashire, England
Im at that stage of life, where nothings going right. I try to talk to some of my mates, But no one notices, No one cares.
Except for the one and only person who really knows me. That special friend who cares.
I ask her opinion, And sure enough she has an answer for me. She tells me to stop worrying, All teenagers go through the same.
The next day Im an awful lot happier at school. No one notices, No one cares.
Except for the one and only person who really knows me. That special friend who cares.
Written by Faye, dedicated to my best m8 Rachael for all her help!! Over the years Ive realised one major thing, Theres no point worrying about silly little things, When youve got your best friend at your side listening, helping, and being a true friend.
I say this to my friends but as usual
No-one notices, No one cares.
Except for the one and only person who really knows me. That special friend who cares. January 2003

A little bit of all
By steph, 13, England
Hi Laura, my name is Steph and I live in England. Although we live across the other side of the world from each other, I know exactly how you feel. Strange isn't it how we can have the same emotions yet different lifestyles. Let me tell you my story and then I will tell you how to deal with your problem. Last year, at my old school, I sat on the same table as this boy. He was one of my best friends until I told him in a text message (mobile phone) that I wanted to go out with him. Ever since he won't look at me let-alone talk to me. So my advice is, don't think about making him your boyfriend just yet. Find out what he thinks of you if you were to go out with him. Don't say anything just yet. I know it's hard, but in the end you might loose a very close friend and then you will definitely have no chance of going out with him. Speak to you soon, I hope my advice was good enough and quick enough for you. Good luck. Steph. Dec 2002

Friends
By Pinja, 12, Joensuu, Finland
Your friends are one of the most important things of your life. When you're alone your real friends will make you happy again. You need them and they need you. You don't need to have a best friend. I don't have the best friend, because almost everyone who I know is my friend. Dec 2002
