Hmm... we've come up with the 5 scenarios:
1) 6 long-lost friends meet up at Burger King and start reminiscing their old times and share
what they think friendship means.
2) 5 classmates talk about their new classmates and decide to go and befriend him. The last
scene is months later and the 6 of them are best friends. Seeing another group of friends
doing crazy antics, they laugh and realise what a friendship means.
3) A son is struggling to live up to his mother's high academic expectations of him. He
always talks about the stress he faces to his 2 friends. His teacher notices the frequent
stressed and tired expression he wears and meets up with the mother. After the talk, the
mother realises her unrealistic expectations and imposes more achievable ones. They
become a better family again, with the mother now understanding and appreciating how
good her son is already doing and the son continuing to work hard.
4) Struggling to accept the death of a beloved family member. With the support of friends
and help from the rest of his family, he manages to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
5) As usual, a group of friends complain to one another about their respective families;
nagging mother, irritating sister and such. As they go on, they realise the reason their
family did so and better appreciate the love and care shown.
Among these, we picked Scenario 2.
We thought it was meaningful if we talked about friendship and what it means to us. The scenario also has us befriending a new person, and that itself is also part and parcel of life. Hence, it was relevant as well.
Talking about friendships is a reflective process and makes use of our critical thinking skills, and make us realise how fortunate we are to have friends that we can count on. Subconsciously, such discussions also makes us value the friends we have now and give courage to make new ones and above all, the importance of having true friends.
