**Introduction**
One day a friend of mine asked me who I was closest friends with and it got me wondering who would always stay friendly with me. I wondered about who I should trust to stay friendly with because I had never thought about it before. Then several days afterwards in technology we were told to write about what we were wondering about so I wrote about long friendships. Two classes after that, we started our project and I used this question "How do you stay friends with others for a long time?" Then I began searching for sites that could help me answer my question. Curiosity overcame me.

**Body**
Friends are very important to any person. One thing about friends is that they can be hard to make for some people ans easier for others. When friends are made they are usually kept for a while. The difference between friendships with girls and boys is that girls care about their friendships more and worry about them. Guys ,more frequently, make friends but then move on while girls stay friends with the same people longer and have deeper bonds with their friends. To have a long lasting friendship you need to be able to listen to other friends. Also "to have a friend you must be a friend". You need to give a little of yourself s the other person feels safer with you as their friend. Long friendships consist of two(or more)people who care for each other, worry for each other, and are there for each other and have been for a long time.

**Conclusion**
Long friendships aren't that hard to have, all you need is to be a loyal and caring person who worries about the other person. If you are, then a friendship can last forever. When you do discover and experience long lasting friendships you will hopefully understand.
