Being besties should come easily but if you’re going through a rough patch here are some friendship tips on how to keep your friendship strong.

• Know when to pick your fights: not every disagreement needs to turn into world war three. It’s okay to agree to disagree.
  
• When you borrow things from one another, remember to give things back.
  
• Spend time together but make sure you give each other space too. There’s no need to spend every waking moment together, it can be a little overwhelming.
  
• Bring new friends into the group, it’s really fun meeting new people!
  
• Apologising doesn’t mean you are admitting you are wrong or anything, it means you are willing to let things go and move on.
  
• Write snail mail to each other, it’s so much fun getting letters in the mail!
