How To Be a Good Friend

There are many ways to become a good friend. It could either take a lot of work, depending on how close you want to be with your friend, or it could be really easy. By using some of the examples on how to become a good friend below and if you stick to it and persist, you could be the friend everyone wants.

You need to be really nice to your friends. Help them when they need it. Treat them how you would want to be treated. For example: Use your manners. Don't treat them rudely otherwise they will probably not want to be friends with you anymore.

Earn your friends trust. Tell them things, showing that you trust them, then they will realise you're trustworthy. Let them know that you'll always be there for them, no matter what. When they're sad, cheer them up. Make them smile when no one else can.

Back your friends up in fights. Support them through it all. No matter how silly or bad the fight is, you will help them and back them up as much as possible. If they know that you will help them through a fight and support them, then they will help and support you back.

These are the main things you can easily do to be a good friend. Once you earn their trust, you could even become best friends. Make sure you're honest to them. Don't keep things from them that they should know. Don't talk about them behind their back, unless it's something they want someone to know. Stay positive, even though there are ups and downs, you can still become a good friend.
