What are the charectaristics of a good friend?...

A great listener would be at the top of my list. And someone who doesn't judge me for who I am. I've had friendship where I have been used and laughed at. And of course nothing good came out of those relationships. Loyalty is another big issue with me. But trust is the main key to keeping a friendship.

I agree one hundred percent that one good friend is worth more than fifteen friend,and I also agree trust, loyalty and communication are all vital parts of a good friend,and being a good friend,and also I feel that a good friend must be someone who will do anything for you,and that you would do anything for.

Yes 1 good friend is better than 15 friends(who might not seem to be good). You must first trust the person before they become your friend,secondly that friend has got to be reliable and encouraging. A friend should be able to forgive,loyalty is apart of the package not all friends are good friends so you have to choose them carefully,a good should not only be a friend but become a sister or brother, good friend should be around help you through bad times not just good times. there are many types of friends. but a blabber is a blabber and not a friend.
