Friendships are sometimes hard to maintain and navigate if someone leaves school or moves away. However, they are an important source of support for young people. Sometimes, students can neglect relationships and let them slip away. In this activity, students watch a video where Josh and Nathan chat about how they've stayed good mates after Nathan left school to work full-time.
