What is Taha Whanau?

Taha Whanau is who makes you feel you. Whanau is about extended relationships and people who loves you to their heart.

Why are "Good friend" Relationships so important?

Friendship has a huge impact on your health and joy. Without them, it prevents loneliness and sadness.

Why is respect so important for all ( not just friends) of our relationships?

Because being respected by people in our lives growing up teaches us how to be respectful to others. Respect means that you respect others on who they are : )

Good friends never judge you, is loyal, is kind and respectful to you, someone whose company you enjoy and is trustworthy and willing to tell you the truth, even when it's hard for you to hear.

Good friends are like stars. You don't always see them, But you know they're always there.

 Kia Ora whanau and today, Me and my form class were practising friendship and it went pretty well. We were viewing on what a fake and nice friend would say if there was a situation. Friendship is important is you are lonely and nice friends can help you and even become you best friends. You can have even more bbf's/ Best friends forever than one. 

How I have been a good friend this week is that one of my best friends was hurt by someone's words. They were calling her relatives names and stuff like that and I was hurt too. I jumped in and helped her after the who situation happened and she was okay. Friends can't be good friends if they do 1 or 2 good things in a lifetime or they aren't a good friend. They can be nice to you. Fake friends are like bystanders. If you don't know what a bystander is, A bystander is a person who just stands there when a situation and acts like nothing is happening.

People like me hates bystanders and I know that you do too. Your Good friends are Upstanders. If you don't know what that is then I will explain it to you....

An Upstander is a person who supports and help people in bad situations and is like the opposite of a Bystander. If you would like to become a Upstander then please do and If you want to become a Bystander, then its you choice but you will face the consequences. Remeber to be a Upstander, Not a Bystander!
