Do you ever feel lost for words? When I sat down to write this blog post, it being our 2nd featuring PANDORA‘s new friendship bracelets, I really didn’t know where to begin. I decided to ask some of my ballet students about their thoughts on friendship for some inspiration. Their responses were so darling, so sincere and so simple that I thought I’d leave you with their cute-as-hell answers, because they really say it all.
What is friendship?
Friendship is a connection that you have with a person that is very strong.
~Digby, 10
Friendship is what you have when someone plays with you and sticks up for you.
~ Katie, 8
Friendship is knowing that you can trust someone and having their support in all the choices you make.
~Eden, 12
How do you let your friends know what they mean to you?
I tell them they are my best friends and then I say, “Do you want to play with me?”
~Ella, 7
We talk to each other and tell our secrets and be very polite.
~Xavier, 10
I tell them lots of jokes.
~Mila, 4
What makes a good friend?
If your friends fall over you say, “Are you ok? Do you need to go to the teacher?”
~Ella, 7
Someone who gives you lots of hugs.
~Mila, 4
A good listener.
~Charlie, 13
If someone is nice to you, then you can be nice back and that makes a good friendship.
~Mia, 8
What is your favourite thing to do with your friends?
I haven’t had a sleepover yet but I’d love to have a sleepover with my friends and play with them a lot.
~Ella, 7
We kind of use our imaginations and we like to play games. But in class we’re very silent.
~Xavier, 10
We like to play with dragon snot at Kindy. It’s yucky so we like to touch it all the time.
~Mila, 4
Who’s your best friend and why?
Jolie is my best friend. She’s my best friend because we always hang out together and I’ve been rock climbing with her before.
~Ella, 7
Casey because when I first met him he just came up to me and helped me with school and he’s really nice to me.
~Digby, 10
What is the nicest thing a friend has ever done for you?
One of them has done my homework for me before.
~Ella, 7
When I have a day off school my friends all tell me they wish I was at school playing with them.
~Xavier, 10
My friend was brave and stood up for me when I was getting bullied.
~Digby, 10
My new friends said kind words to me when I moved schools.
~Katie, 8
Sometimes my friends share their lunch with me.
~Kayu, 8
My friends say sorry when they hurt me and cuddle each other when they hurt each other.
~Mila, 4
A while ago some kids were calling me “Chucky” and my friend got really angry at them and made them stop.
~Charlie, 13
Megan got me a pencil case because I’m a nice friend.
~Mia, 8
Sometimes if I’ve done something wrong, they take the blame so I don’t get in trouble.
~Eden, 12
Fiona and Kaitlyn helped me find a pencil.
~Fallon, 8
Thank god for friends.
