1). To learn how others view friendships and what issues arise in their friendships, visit the Friendship Page. This site offers songs, poetry, and quotes about Friendship, as well as chat rooms and an advice forum. To what extent do the issues raised in the advice forum reflect challenges to friendship discussed in this chapter?
I found a post on the Friendship page about an individual who is afraid of losing his friend. His friend was being tormented and bullied around school and thought about moving. Afraid of losing his friend, the individual decided to post a poll about whether he should say anything to his friend who refuses to speak to him. From this, i saw that the external pressure: geographic distance was present because he was afraid of losing his friend due to distance. It's a little hard to find legitimate posts on this website but that was all i could find. A lot of these posts I think are ads or virus websites. It's sad to see people lose friends and it's even worst for any one of us to feel that pain. From the transition of high school to college, many of us have lost friends because of geographic distance. Long distance friendships/relationships are never easy and it takes a lot of effort to stay friends.
