How to Mend a Broken Friendship

Good day, everybody. I'm excited to be here.

I have advice about friendship. Friendship is precious.

Friendship makes life wonderful. Life is too short to lose a friend. Sometimes friends disagree. Sometimes arguments happen. Here's how to avoid a breakup. First, apologize when you're wrong. Apologize when you're right. It doesn't matter who is to blame. We all make mistakes. We all have regrets.

Say you're sorry; forgive and forget. BE sincere in your apology. Really mean what you say.

Chances are your friend will apologize, too. Second, always remain calm. Never lose your temper.

Never say or do anything rash. Take a little break. Take time to cool off.

Don't say anything in the heat of the moment. Come back when you're feeling calmer. Then talk about the problem.

If you're calm, your friend will listen. Third, don't avoid your friend. Don't isolate yourself.

Never disappear or run away. Try to make contact. Try to communicate.
