Introduce the lesson by welcoming the students and briefly outlining the objectives of the session. Emphasize that today's conversation will help us understand what makes a friendship special and how we can build and maintain healthy relationships.

Discuss the importance of friendship. Prompt students to think about times they have relied on friends and how those relationships have helped them feel supported.

Guide students through listing the qualities of a good friend. Encourage them to think of adjectives like supportive, trustworthy, and kind. Ask for examples from their own experiences.

Use this slide to facilitate an interactive discussion. Ask the students to share examples from their own lives. The highlighted questions should engage the class and foster discussion.

Consolidate the discussion by summarizing strategies for building and maintaining healthy friendships. Reinforce the idea that while challenges may occur, strong friendships are based on mutual respect and support.
