The Timeless Value of Friendships Formed in School

School is the first place where we start learning not just subjects, but also the little lessons of life. It’s where we meet our very first friends and discover the joy of growing up together.School friends are different. They will never betray us because we have lived together since childhood, so in childhood no one understands what is called cheating or how to cheat someone. We became best friends in school because we live together in school. We play. Out of 24 hours of our day, we used to spend seven to eight hours together in school. A connection is formed, and this connection becomes very strong because we spend a lot of time together.

Similarly, I have a best friend whose name is Amrit. He is my very close friend. He is a Punjabi, and I am a Bengali, so there is no connection between the two, but we met in school. His father works in the Navy, due to which he was transferred to Bengal. We used to sit together from class 2. We used to eat together. His mother used to make very good dal paneer and such, so I used to eat that, and he used to eat tiffin, so our mornings would be very good. Our friendship has become very strong. We used to sit together from class 2 to class 10, and after that, as you know, due to Covid, the entire class system was shut down. Schools were shut. We all started doing online classes.

I like the school environment the best because there is such a moving movement there. There is such a fun moment when we always sit and talk, and we play. We have a lot of fun. We used to get punished; we used to get beaten by the teachers. We used to do everything together, so we should never take it lightly and should never keep sitting in school. As long as school exists, there is such a time when you can live carefree, when there are no major responsibilities. Life feels carefree, and every day is about playing, laughing, and enjoying with friends without worrying about the future. There will be no responsibility. Just enjoy peacefully. After that, I have heard, a lot of responsibilities come.

For example, my college was in Orissa, so I had to go to Orissa, and my friend Amrit had to go back to Punjab because his father was transferred again. That is why I was very angry. I felt very bad because I didn't want to go, but I had to complete my studies. My parents forced me to go to Orissa, and our friendship broke. Nowadays we talk like this after many months. But we are very far from each other, and what can we talk about? School is over. There are some decisions in life where we have to be very strict and take a decision with a lot of power. But that decision gives us a lot of benefits later on.

College felt very different. Everyone was more mature and busy with their own goals, and I couldn’t find the same kind of genuine friendship that I had in school. Everyone looks for their own benefit. In school, we are small; we don't think so much. We just maintain friendship. This doesn't happen in college. Everyone becomes grown up in college. In college, everyone uses their brain and thinks that I should look after my benefit and then leave. That's why I could never make any friends in college. In school, everyone could become friends because in school, we all stay in the same place. Even if we fight, we have to sit in the same class. We have to study in the same place. It doesn't happen like that in college. College is a proper, different place; many people say that friends can be made in college too.

The best thing about school friendship is that we all grow up together. The classroom in which we are is a semi-classroom till class 10, so everyone sees each other's roles and what kind of people go with each other. Everyone learns together. That's why class-school friendship is the best because we grow up together, and we roam around together. Yes, sometimes we fight, but then we solve the fight. We play together. We share lunch together, so these things are the most fun because we are very innocent, and we are not selfish like other people. That's why school friends are very good.

Lastly, I would like to say that school friends are good because they are very innocent. They are not selfish. Everyone considers each other as friends and not selfish people who just get their work done. Then it goes away, but it takes a long time because we have been together since childhood, so we don't have such thoughts, or our mind doesn't come to cheat that person. Along with this, we have been in college for the last 5-6 years; there is a very different system in college. I have seen myself that everyone is selfish. So many people think that school friends are the best and one should always stay in touch with school friends. It is very beneficial. I am not. I am unlucky, but you people should always stay in touch with your school friends as much as you can.
