How to celebrate Friendship Day and show your friends that they are truly special to you?
Here are some suggestions you could use.
Write a nice card for your friend telling them how much you appreciate their friendship.Spill
out your heart to them as though there is no tomorrow.Or you could send them a Happy
Friendship Day greeting online to brighten their day.
Also,you may buy or make them a small present一flowers, chocolates,friendship bands,a cake,  a dream catcher,friendship journal or anything that catches your imagination!Consider
leaving the gift anonymously for added intrigue!One of the greatest gifts you can make your
friend is a mixed CD of all the songs that define your friendship or ones that you just happen to
mutually like!
For your best friends,plan a special day together.A picnic is always a fun idea,and great for
all ages.If you're physically-inclined,try an activity such as bowling,golf,rollerblading,cricket
or going to the beach.Remember,there5s no just one way to celebrate this great relationship,
anything that demonstrates your love for them will do perfectly.

Listening for general information
There are as many reasons for ending a friendship as there are for starting one.Think about
how you feel when you are around this person.Do they put you down?Do they annoy you?
Assess clearly why you no longer want this person in your life and be firm in your decision.
If you are dumping a friend because they are unreliable,the easiest solution is to gradually
cut them out of your life.If he or she never makes time for you then they probably won't notice
that you are not making time for them either.People who don't value your time do not value you;
leave them out of your life.If you have decided that you want to dump a friend because you don't
want to share their lifestyle,then you need to make yourself very clear.You need to set clear
boundaries.And if the person has committed some unforgivable mistakes,you also need to speak
up.You need to clearly explain that whatever they did was unacceptable and you cannot pretend
that it did not happen.You need to tell them that this was not OK and the friendships can no longer
move on.
It might be tempting to give someone the silent treatment,but remember that everything that
seems self-evident to you is not always equally obvious to others.The other person might not even
know that they hurt your feelings!If someone's behavior is really bothering you and they are more
than a casual acquaintance,you should carefully but surely speak up.
