Hey, isn't it dumb to joke around, believeing you are with
them?
It is indeed true that one day u will leave school and will
eventually contact with teachers. BUT what if one day, you lose ur
humor and wanted to be serious with your work, will you lose your
friends too? Are they your friends just because you are
funny?
But the most important factor is..will they be there for you if u
need them?
Personally, I rather be close to teachers since they are generally
more mature. Other than getting good grades (which is not the main
point of being close with them), you can receive guidance in so
many aspects of life since they are much older and thus have so
much more personal experience and knowledge.
When is the last time when a teacher rejected your request? (a
reqest that is reasonable la. Not like asking them to give u 100000
bucks). Eg class gathering, they definitely turn up unless they
really cant.
My sister, currently just graduated from a uni, is still in contact
with her JC teacher and even go for a 1-on-1 tea break. Personally,
i feel teachers would be a closer friend to you in a long run.
