I am actively implementing strategies to help my relationship with my best friend thrive. One of the strategies that we use is honesty. We never lie to each other. It helps our relationship stay positive and not get all messy with secrets. The other strategy we implement is making time with each other. Even if we are both busy we always make sure that we make time for each other. We hangout on weekends when we are done with homework or we do homework together, and we meet for lunch a couple times a week on my break between regular school and zoo school. Overall, I try to implement these strategies to help me maintain a healthy relationship with my best friend.
