Hello there! I am Yajur from Grade 1 Senior (Adyar). I would like to present my views on friendship day. Friendship day is celebrated on the first Sunday of August every year. United Nations Organisations declared International Friendship day as 30th July in 2011 but different countries celebrate friendship day on different days. India celebrated friendship day on the first Sunday of August. It was first proposed by Paraguay. It is a good day not only to cherish our present friends but also a great day to make new ones. Youngsters give friendship bands to each other to represent that they are friends. 

Why do we need a friend?

We need a friend because we need company and if one doesn't have friends one won't be able to enjoy life. Friends are an important part of anyone's life. Friends make us happy and feel better when we are upset or sad. 

Every day can be a friendship day if we cherish our friends for what they truly are. Have a lovely day with your friends!
