<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">** Similar Interests ** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> In order to make friends, we need to have certain skills. We need to communicate, understand social cues, and recognize different emotions. We need to know things about ourselves in order to know what to let other people know. You need to know what your likes and dislikes are in order to have other people share them with you. If you dislike going to the movies, you don't want to always hang out with someone who spends their time at the movies. Finding similar interests with others is a great way to easily make new friends. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">media type="file" key="wiki-friends2a.wav" width="300" height="50"

<span style="color: #d22f2f; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 115%;">**Stay Positive and Polite** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">People like to be around other people that are in good moods and that are happy. Someone who screams and yells isn't fun to be around and have to deal with. Try to stay calm and ask someone for help when you are frustrated in a friendship. Yelling at a friend usually is a way to lose a friend. Be as polite as you can and always take turns. Being the positive person in your friend's life can be that one special person that your friend needs. Always make sure that you are playing fair when you are with friends so that they know you are an honest and trustworthy person. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">media type="file" key="wiki-friends2b.wav" width="300" height="50"

Then pick one of the following games to play. Do you think you should ask them what they would like to play? Would that help you make more friends? Practice taking turns while playing the game and compromise on who goes first or what order you play and how long you have a turn. Practice playing for at least 15 minutes. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gluey
