What Makes a Good Friend?

What makes someone a GOOD friend? Good friends have special qualities:

KIND: They say nice things and do nice things for you. They never make fun of you or hurt you on purpose.

TRUSTWORTHY: They keep promises and secrets (unless someone is in danger). You can count on them.

GOOD LISTENER: They pay attention when you talk. They care about your thoughts and feelings.

INCLUSIVE: They include you in games and activities. They never leave you out on purpose.

HONEST: They tell the truth in kind ways. They do not lie to you.

SUPPORTIVE: They cheer you on when things go well and comfort you when things are hard.

FUN: They make you laugh, play with you, and enjoy spending time together.

A good friend is like a warm blanket on a cold day — they make everything feel better just by being there.
