text: Friends that teenager's make in after school programs, could last for years! I've met some of my best friends through my extra curricular, dance. They don't even go to the same school as me! It started when we all were in the same ballet class, and we clicked. I would never have met them if it wasn't for doing dance. Adolescents need to make friends in order to live happily. Some teenagers might have a bad reputation at school, consequently, nobody wants to be friends with them. Luckily for them, most extra curricular activities take place outside of school. Nobody would know about their reputation, so they can start out fresh. Adolescents might even meet their future maid of honor! My mom met her Maid of Honor through a sewing club. Originally, my mom never wanted to do this club, but her mother made her. She was very reluctant the first few times, but started talking to another girl, Generic_Name. Overtime, they became very close and stayed friends throughout high school, and collage. When my mom was planning her wedding, she thought of her best friend, Generic_Name, to be her Maid of Honor. To this day, they are still best friends and it all started in a sewing club! Remember that all the friends kids meet in clubs, could last them into their golden years.
