Abstract

As friendships are defined as one of the most important factors in our lives, it influences our health, well-being, and happiness. Creating and maintaining friendships is one of the hardest actions to sustain. This paper offers research on effective awareness to the hardships and gruesome aspects of abandoned friendships. Exploring the importance of social interaction in childhood friendships prepares us for the horrific turning points of a loving friendship. The paper also provides literature that dives deeper into the dreadful emotions that victims of abandoned friendships face as they slowly manoeuvre on the road to recovery. The paper also provides a content analysis and an effective strategic plan to support and prevent abandoned friendships. As a society, we must build a community of constant love, support, and changing attitudes of acceptance.
