Good relationship among the children always starts from school when the children are first admitted into the school. They are all individual from different homes and backgrounds. They are new to each other because most of them are seeing each other for the first time, they give them some time, they will come together eating together and discussing their problem together. They know themselves better. They know their names family background, States, tribes and even nationalities. They know their likes and dislike.
In school students form organizations like Science Club, debating Society, Singing group, Christians Union, cultural society. The students study together, play friendly matches together. After leaving the school friendships extend to their adulthood.
FACTORS THAT AID IN CHOOSING FRIENDS IN SCHOOL
