He ‘ll be with you through thick and thin

P2-Yes, I agree, and I think he should be brainy as well.

P1-Oh, I don’t think it is very important . In my opinion a friend shoud be easy to get along with and it doesn’t matter if he’s brainy or not

P2-Oh, well , I suppose you are right.

“Is your Mum a person you can talk through everything with?”

“If you are upset , do you keep your feelings to yourself or do you rely on someone who can cheer you up?”
