 Salutation : To the lecture, Madam Azizah Binti Abdul Kadir and my beloved v3
classmates.
INTRODUCTION
The meaning of the word ‘friend’ remains somewhat unclear. Most of us have friends- and
anyone can have one.we all have different definitions of a friend, but for me What makes a
true friendship anymore? Is it whether or not the person knows your birthday- or how many
hours you spend -talking on the phone or hanging out in person? With all the ways we can
communicate now — Skype, ICQ, AIM, Gchat, Facebook Messenger, Grindr, etc.
1ST CONTENT - Keeping You Company
Supporting detail : An online friend is someone you know is available every time you see
that little green dot next to their name, so you write them and say hello. But sometimes it’s
possible to have an online best friend who you’ve never met before in real life, but who
keeps you company when you’re writing a long paper or bored at work.
2nd CONTENT – Activities
Supporting detail : With online friends you can do things like play Words With Friends or
watch your favorite television show together, chatting about everything that annoys you
about the show. That’s the fun part — I almost never watch TV alone now.
3rd CONTENT - Gossip And Life Problems
Supporting detail : Online friends know all about your relationship drama and boy/girl
crushes, because you’ve been asking them for advice for months. Hey there, Google Talk
friend, Should I try to kiss him tonight? OMG what do you think? You feel comfortable talking
to your online friends about all of your life issues.
4th CONTENT - can talk to friends anytime
Supporting detail : hard time remembering one-item grocery list-really appreciate being able
to send a little note whenever- of something funny to say. Pretty-friends equally appreciate
getting to hear the joke before-forget the punchline.
 CONCLUSION : If you’re always being “needed,” whether in-person or virtually, it

can quickly become overwhelming and you may begin to feel that you have had all
the “kindness and compassion” sucked out of you. No one can keep on giving to a
group of “emotionally hungry” friends and not need time to get their own need for
support fulfilled. Even the most open-hearted, selfless person can lose perspective
and get sucked into needy people’s endless neediness.

This day is a wonderful one. At this moment, allow me to grab these handful of minutes, as I
spill to you the word I kept in my mind for lastnight of practising this speech. I want you to
close your eyes. Think of your friend. Reminisce the things you did together. How do they
value you? And now open your eyes. I’d like you to have this question. How do you value of
your friend?

and with all the people on our buddy lists, who are we really friends with? Is it possible to
have friends who are purely for the Internet and others you interact with in real life? What’s
the difference?

Keeping You Company

Online Friends: Online friends are people you don’t really really know but you met them
once at a conference, on a social networking site, on Twitter, or maybe you added them to
your Facebook because they’re friends with someone you know. Plus they’re hot, and you
do enjoy collecting Facebook friends based on their hotness. An online friend is someone
you know is available every time you see that little green dot next to their name, so you write
them and say hello. But sometimes it’s possible to have an online best friend who you’ve
never met before in real life, but who keeps you company when you’re writing a long paper
or bored at work. You talk to each other at least every other day. You even have inside jokes
and think about going out to visit them wherever they live, you know, to take things to the
next step
Gossip And Life Problems

Online Friends: Online friends know all about your relationship drama and boy/girl crushes,
because you’ve been asking them for advice for months. Hey there, Google Talk friend,
Should I try to kiss him tonight? OMG what do you think? You feel comfortable talking to
your online friends about all of your life issues because as far as they know your name is
really “Katie Smith,” even though it’s not, and you could be making up all of your social
problems. Plus, you’ve already bugged your real life friends about this stuff to death. Now
you have a whole new outlet!
Activities
Online Friends: With online friends you can do things like play Words With Friends or watch
your favorite television show together, chatting about everything that annoys you about the
show. That’s the fun part — I almost never watch TV alone now. If I’m watching a big show
that everyone is talking about, like Scandal, RuPaul’s Drag Race or Homeland, I’m definitely
chatting to my online friends while it’s on. Not that I don’t do that with my real life friends, too.
Plus, with online friends you always have a new place to visit — sexual tension or not.
6 Reasons Why Online Friends Are the Best:

1. I can pick and choose the amazing people I want to keep in my life without needing to
cap them with a 50-mile radius... which is great, as I find that my broadband gets much
better miles per gallon than my Honda Jazz.
2. I can talk to my friends ANYTIME I want. I have a hard time remembering my one-item
grocery list, so I really appreciate being able to send a little note whenever I think of
something funny to say. I’m pretty sure my friends equally appreciate getting to hear the joke
before I forget the punchline.
3. I can hang out with them in my pajamas. OK, truth be told, I also hang out with my local
friends in my PJs sometimes, but only with online friends can I do it 100% of the time without
fearing repercussions.
4. I can equally *not* hang out with them anytime I want and no one gets upset.
“Yesterday? Oh, I was so busy with the kids that I didn’t have time to check on Facebook.
Sorry about that!” is a perfectly acceptable excuse, no offense taken.
5. I can tell them ANYTHING. I find that cyber wall to be more effective than the screen in
the confessional. It is incredibly freeing to be able to complain or confess or whine or
whatever to a bunch of people who have never met and probably never will meet my
family/coworkers/local friends/etc. It’s a lot cheaper than a therapist, that’s for sure.
6. It is a wide, wide world filled with wildly hilarious, deeply passionate and incredibly
caring individuals. Thanks to social media and blogging, I get to interact with all of them.
Compassion is a feeling of understanding someone's pain or difficulties and

wanting to help that person. Being compassionate toward your friends means
putting aside your own concerns temporarily while you offer your friends the
support that they need. Compassion starts with being aware of your friends'
emotional states and includes trying to do something to relieve their suffering. You
can be a more compassionate person by being warmer toward your friends and
making them feel cared for at all times.
Remember
When starting a conversation with any new person do not talk too much about yourself in the
initial days. Take sometime to understand the person, if you make out that the person can be
trusted as a friend and if your wavelengths match, you can share your thoughts with him/her.
Also you should not reveal your contact details like address and mobile number to the
person you are chatting with. When chatting with a person through social networking sites,
make sure that the person has no access to your personal details and photos. You can
unlock the features once you are friends.
