Different levels of “Being a Friend” Ross’s levels of friendship: w/PYfwaFWKaq

Friendly Greetings (Level 1) Acquaintance (Level 2) People you are friendly with, but don’t know, don’t talk to, and don’t hang out with at all People you have had small discussions with because you worked in a classroom group with them or they’re friends with one of your friends so you happened to hang out for a short while Hi! Talking before class starts Talking in lunch line Leonard and Sheldon meet Penny: aMqnskgQEa aMqnskgQEa

Level 3- Possible Friends Start to seek people out to talk to them, but you meet up with them in the general location you meet (class, recess) -May ask to meet for lunch or after- school or try to do class work with them May go up to the person even when they are with other kids May call or text about homework or school

Friendship- Communication More personal when it’s face to face

Making/ Finding a Friend Use Social Thinking- think about what they are thinking Find out their interests -Could be sports, arts, animals, computers, books, clothes -Notice what they spend time doing, talking about, are wearing

After you find out what they like… Talk to them/ Hang out with them -Try a compliment -Try a question -Try a friendly comment I like your new shoes What are you doing his weekend? Your sandwich looks good.

Level 4- Evolving Friendship Someone you would like to spend more time with by consistently: -hanging out with them at school - work with them on projects -contact them to ask to hang out outside of school Do you want to see a movie this weekend? Most of the time hang out at school

Level 5- Bonded Friendship People are there for each other -Look out for each other -Make sure things are okay for other person -Arrange to talk or get together after school to hang out * talk about personal life (things that make you upset, happy, etc.) Text me later about what happened with Matt Similar to level 4 but more intense: (Blind Side- Library)

Level 6- Very Close Friendship Expected to have deeper conversations when you need them -Hang out frequently -Let them know when you are getting down -You try to spend some part of your weekend with this friend Corey and Shawn The Play’s the Thing:
