Have you ever thought about what it would be like to date your best friend? Take it from two best friends who have and learned about the value of friendship the hard way. Emily Fukuda is a junior at Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory, where she has branched out into all things Visual and Performing Arts. Prioritizing friends and family over everything else, she wants to share her story to warn others how peer pressure can easily manipulate and destroy meaningful relationships. Through her experience, she hopes others can learn the value of friendship.

Alex Yeh is a junior at Lick-Wilmerding High School who loves the arts, reading, and nature. Because he almost lost his best friend to peer pressure, he wants to show how few things are more important than good friendships. He’s learned that meaningful lifelong relationships are a priority over rushed romantic ones, and he hopes that others can learn this too. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
