It's important to be supportive, even if they make decisions you know they will regret. When they discover it for themselves, you need to be there to listen to them & be a shoulder to cry on.

1. Never gossip. 2. Never backbite. 3. You do as you promise. 4. Listen to your friend especially if in need. and most importantly... 5. Never abuse your friends' kindness!

Yes you are most correct never abuse your friend's kindness, kindness comes an awful long way and we never know when we shall need that extra bit of kindness from our friends

Hi ya Anne18 I think you also have to be honest with each other and be there for each other too. I believe I am a good friend to my friends and they are to me though I have a friend who seems to want more from me than I do of her though but at least I know in my heart I am there for her

Honestly is very important as sometimes we tell our friends what we think they would want to hear, not what we should be telling them in case we upset them and thye get cross with us for speaking the truth

A good friend is someone that you can trust. Someone who listen and lend a shoulder to cry on when you need it. But you have to be able to do the same in return. I think a friend is someone you have fun with! Someone you like to go out and do all of your favorite hobbies with - like shopping, going for a drink, maybe going to a movie, etc. A friend is someone you care about a lot and would do anything for. I would consider myself to be a good friend because I can always be trusted. If someone asks me to do something, I'll be there for them. If they ask me to keep a secret for them, I can do that too. I am also fun to hang out with, if I do say so myself ;-)

Well we all know where to og when we want to hang out with a good friend, hope you have some room for all these new friends you are going to get, and lots of cups for all the cups of tea we are going to drink with you.

hi annie18 hatley here you have the two most basic things, ' dont gossip about your friends and dont backbite. Also try'to' always answer any personal messages your friends send you as'tis a good way to keep a good friendship going. also if you have email' addys email your mylot friends once in awhile,its fun and who'knows maybe someday you may be able to actually meet the other person. hope this helps any at all.

Being sensible and understanding. Having mutual respects among friends and above all being the friend in need and deeds is what makes me a good friend of my friends.
