To live together, it is necessary to have someone on our side, someone with whom we have the confidence to share our happiness, sadness, fears, anguish, victories, secrets and above all to understand us ...

Friendship Across Cultures

Yes, this is the truth but we have to change because when we go down, we need the people who are always by our side, that is, our real friends! But friends are not just the ones we meet on the street or at school; but also some of those with whom we start to talk on the internet. Sometimes the friendship becomes stronger and sometimes we can have a better relationship with these penfriends than with the friends who are regularly with us!

However, when we interact with people from different cultures it is the best thing because we understand that we have an idea that is completely different from reality and so we change our minds and

learn a lot with our amazing friends.

that is, FRIENDS! But sometimes we spend more time thinking about other people who do not care about us instead of those with whom we interact constantly!

Having friends of different cultures makes us GROW, not only from the perspective of fun and entertainment, but also because of the learning and emotional support!

This promotes:

- multiculturalism: it means that the experience helps us understand people from different races and ethnicities;

- personality development: we gain different experiences which can influence us positively;

- knowledge: one of the main advantages of making friends from different cultures is the amount of knowledge we gather. We learn about their world, beliefs, practices and more.
