      There are many things you can do to keep friendship strong.

      Believing is very important in keeping any relationship strong and long. If you believe a person whom you have a good relationship with and the person also believes you in the same way,then you two have a good relationship.

      You can remember important dates of your friends such as their birthdays and wish them happy or give gifts to them on these special days. Many people say that money is the most important thing to consider ,but remember friendship is not about money. You can find something small and inexpensive for their gifts or send online cards.

      A friend should also always help others even when it is not very suitable. So have a helping hand ready at all times.

      Sometimes space makes relationships even closer. So,if you are far from your friends,there are many ways you can keep in contact. You can use emails,chat programs,and you can also write a blog and share your daily life activities with your friends.

      If there is anything that makes you happy,share it with your friends. Listen to their thoughts as well. If they have achieved something noticeable ^ congratulate them and celebrate with them.
