Friendship Focus: Listening

By Roberta Rabbit

When Alex was writing his essay the other day, he asked me what I considered to be the most important trait in a friend.  I guess to me, the best thing a friend can do is be a good listener.

I love my parents more than anything, but my dad works late a lot and sometimes I miss him. And sometimes when he’s at home, he still treats me like a baby. I don’t like to say anything to my mom and dad because I know how hard they work and I don’t want to make them feel bad.

That’s when it’s wonderful to have a friend like Cowabelle. I know that when I’m missing my dad, I have someone who will let me share my feelings. Sometimes Cowabelle doesn’t even have to say anything – it just feels good to get stuff off my chest. But other times, she knows just the right thing to say to make me feel better.

I am so lucky to have a friend like Cowabelle. I hope she will always be there to listen to me when I need someone to talk to.

    Sometimes its great to have a friend you can trust and tell anything to. I’ve known my BFF my whole life, so we’re like sisters.

      I agree with WebkinzGuru, it’s great to have a friend that listens and you can trust not to tell any secrets. I’ve known my bff for my whole life too, she’s just too nice!!!

    That is why I love my pet snake, Ixen Miirik, (Fire Song) because he is always silent and listening.

    • Emily says:

      Ooh, cool you have a snake! I love snakes. I like my pet Ming Ming, my cat because she likes to listen to me when I talk. She understands. And Ixen Miirik is a cool name for your snake!

      • SnakeZ75 says:

        Thanks. That’s accurately the language that dragons speak. I learned it a while ago.
        If he was a girl, I would have named him Vorel which means beautiful.

    this is so like my life! my dad goes on buisness trips so i miss him alot cuz he only comes back once a week and they treat me like a baby and it embarreses me so badly! in front of my friends! i wish they would talk nonchalantly and cool instead of baby talk , (sighs) oh and Lexi i have plumpy plush if you want that

  9. Lexi says:

    oh and the way i meant it is so true, is that my mom and dad treat me like a baby too, they go like “oh just yesterday you were a baby girl “and “your becoming a big girl toots or whatever they call me. oh yeah i will give deer ears for white ears and pretty purple summer dress and whimsical dragon dress for slips and retired purple t shirt for shuts and (maybe something else)

      Why does everyone want everything in that same popularity category of clothing? It doesn’t matter to me how popular my clothes are. I can make really good outfits from just everyday Kinzstyle Outlet. No rares included or anything. If you want those pieces of clothes so much, you could go to the trading room or the forum for trades. I don’t want to be mean, but everyone wants the same stuff and it gets annoying after a while. Especially when people leave if you don’t have exactly what they want.

      i am trying to find amanda the panda but ive only found her 1 time over the course of 8 minutes! does anyone have any tips??~~AEO1st
      P.S. friend me

      • HappyFluffyStuff says:

        Try clicking the peek-a-newz thing and logging it in again, and make sure if you have a popup blocker it is turned off, it should be under tools, and it should say popup blocker, put your mouse over that and it will say turn off popup blocker, click that and say yes. If that doesn’t work, X out all windows and tabs, and try again. Hope that helps! P.S. The listening stuff is very good advice, very true.
