In Kazakhstan, there are a lot of holidays to celebrate love and family life, but there isn't a special day to celebrate
friendship. We think that friendship is very important and
we want to have a holiday for it.
Our special celebration is Friendship Day. It's on 21 June,
the first day of summer. Summer is the best season for
celebrations because the weather is good.
On that day, people spend time with their friends. They
visit their best friend in the morning and give him or her
a present. If their best friend lives in another town or in a
different country, they send them a card.
In the afternoon people have parties in parks. They dance
and sing friendship songs. In some cities, they close the
roads and people can have parties and dance there, too.
There are a lot of games and competitions on Friendship
Day. People make friendship posters, friendship cakes,
friendship bracelets and friendship badges. There is also a
competition for best friendship photos.
People like the Friendship Day celebrations because they
can spend the day with their friends and because they
can make new friends on that day, too!

Friends are those people who know what means to be together, to stand for a person, to share everything they have, starting from happiness to sadness, or from food to clothes. Usually true friends are people that have common interests, love the same things or go for the same values. However it is generally known that the two different parts of a magnet always attract to each other, and this statement doesn't make an exception in the case of friendship.
Having different views on life doesn't necessarily mean that they will never understand each other and will have a lot of conflicts. People need to be original, need to have something that only belongs to them, which means that everybody is different and there is nothing to be ashamed of. In my opinion conflicts should never start from this point, of having different interests, because in this case we will never be able to make friends. There is another true cause of any conflict, and that is: not listening to each other. As much as people need communication in their life, they also need someone to hear what they have to say and to understand them. At this point a true friend is needed. As long as we have someone ready to listen to us we shall be happy.
On the other hand, if we consider having a good friend a person who doesn't ever listen to us then we have a problem. Of course between two such people, that only care about their own life, being unwilling to invovle in someone else's, there cannot be any friendship. They will always argue namely because of this issue. Of course they might be similar in behaviour, interests and values, but as long as they cannot learn to listen to each other they cannot consider being freinds.
In a nutshell, conflicts are a wide topic to speak about. They have multiple origins and different endings. The important thing to understand here is that we will only find a common language with a persons that can hear what we say, can understand and help us. And it doesn't matter how different this person might be. As long as he knows how to be a good friend, his race, gender or age should mean nothing to you.
