Many of the issues provided in the advice forum reflect not
only pressures on friendships but also cover the fundamentals of
relationships. Some of the challenges on
the prompt website include acceptance of sexual orientation, dealing with
friendship dilemmas and arguments, dealing with feelings you may have developed
for a friend you have, and making and keeping friends. The book has very helpful guidance and information
regarding understanding feelings of acceptance, trust, and support as well as
understanding the different stages of friendships and how to identify what
stages a friend may currently stand with you in a relationship. Reading the section dealing with internal and
external pressures could also provide guidance to those dealing with
understanding what one could do to be a better friend (in the internal section)
with my favorites being communicating honestly and engaging in dual
perspective, as well as identifying what external factors to be aware of that
could impact your friendships including competing demands, personal changes,
and geographic distance.
