High School Happy Teens & Young Adult

In December of the school year, students created an activity for fun that is a buddy game. There would be a drawing lot to find who is the buddy. And during the month, the buddy will give snacks, help the other with something, teasing him or give him the willpower such as sending an inspiring message to that person. It is a teaching of giving and taking, and makes students create something good feeling and fun for friends. This way could be done without letting that one knew who the buddy was. It was fun and exciting to know who he would be.

.

        There would be the center of buddy which is the place for exchange stuff or message among buddies and this is cool. There might be a message like, Janet, your buddy would like you to smile today. Keep going.  

 .

       This could be 2-way communication among buddy, they can express how he felt toward his buddy when being treated without being shy since they didn’t know who he was and on the last day of the game, there would reveal who is the buddy and they exchange some gift.

 .

       But there was the case that someone wasn’t treated by a buddy at all or someone gave an ugly gift to a buddy. It made the buddy being sad, hurt, and complaining. This felt like being a stranger. However, for Betty, she treated her buddy well because Janet is her friend already. She gave a snack to her and teased her with a toy camera that can shoot water when taking a photo.

.

        It can be set the camera to shoot water to herself or set the camera to shoot to the other person when she took a photo. So Betty set it as to shoot to the one who took the photo and then she said to her that this is the gift from some buddy sending it to her. When she took the photo, the water splashed at her face. Betty’s laughing and asked her to try the camera as well and she took the photo of Janet and set the camera to splash water at Janet and her friends and they laughed.

 .

       Everybody enjoyed taking photos with wet clothes and faces. They don’t know that her buddy is Betty, her friend.

.

        How about in return, Betty didn’t receive anything from her buddy.

.

        It might be because she wasn’t close to boys. If the buddy is a boy, she would not know him. He might be shy in playing the game of buddy.

.

        But when it’s the day of the revelation of the buddy, the answer of buddy is the boy that she would like to be a friend as well but she didn’t dare to speak to. He gave her a cute teddy bear. She’s glad to receive it.

.

        Betty gave a book to Janet. It is an inspirational book that Janet loves. It’s good that Betty’s buddy is her friend. She knew that Janet loves reading an inspirational book.

.

        Unfortunately, Janet had an accident and would be in a hospital in serious condition. Betty visited her with concern. But she wasn’t in conscious. On that day, she dreamed that there would be a teddy bear saying to her that she would like to help her with anything especially about your friendship with your buddy who she would like to befriend. She said she is Janet. She had to do this before she would come back to her body and recover after an accident. She appeared as the body of a teddy bear to read the diary of Betty and know how Betty care for Mark, and how Betty loves her as a friend. Betty didn’t mean to bully her; she just would like to enjoy time with her as a good friend so she would have to do something to help her.

.

        So she went to appear in Mark’s dream as well as a teddy bear. She said to him that she is Janet. And she asked him whether he remembered this teddy bear he gave to the girl, Betty. She had a mission to do that made him and his buddy become friends. What did he think?

.

        He said Betty was friendly but she spoke to only girls. Janet said to him that she would like to befriend him as well. Then Janet made what Mark would like to talk with Betty be heard to her, and she let he can talk with Betty via telepathy.

.

        They talked together all the time, but it’s like something not a normal person did. So, when Betty knew from Janet that it’s time for her to recover to her body, she would have to do something.

.

        She said thank you to Janet and hoped she would get well soon. She said that she had to do something. She said to Mark via telepathy that she would like to befriend Mark in the reality, not only via telepathy.

.

        During the time they talked to each other via telepathy, they know what each other like, so Mark would like the relationship to be real, he dared to call her in real life and talked like the way he talked via telepathy.

.

       Janet recovered from her accident problem. Mark and Betty went to visit her at the hospital together. They have a chance to organize the sports day together and had a good time. Janet remembered what she did when she was a teddy bear and smile with happiness that they have a good relationship.

.

        They enjoyed cheering basketball & football team and enjoyed lunch together.

.

        It’s like making strangers be friends. And Janet’s happy to befriend the two. Friends would be friends forever, no matter how she teased her aggressively or not. She would not be angry but helped her achieve what she expected all the time. Friends must support, not obstruct the happiness of the other. If we have a friendship like this, keep it with yourself. It is hard to have a good relationship, if you have it already, keep it. Good luck.
