We should teach friendship

PSHE
In today’s complex world, we must seriously consider teaching our young people about friendship...

Teenagers: one minute they’re funny, sweet and lovable, the next minute they hate the world and the world hates them back. It is not easy being a teen, as they go through major emotional and physical changes that prepare them for adulthood.

These changes are reflected in their relationships. Often we see how friendships forged in childhood become turbulent and frustrating, while new friendships take longer to flourish.
