A friendship very often begins as an ideal relationship between two or more children (and adults as well). They read books about friendship, their parents and relatives tell them stories about it, and they come to realize it’s something extremely valuable and worth searching for. However, within some time they begin to understand friendship needs a real commitment, trust and other features they don’t have. Then the ‘friends’ face the fact – to be friends they have to fight more than one battle and hold the defensive line during all their lives…
