Be the best friend you can be and you will get the best friends as well!

Guide Keys:

• Be yourself:

Do your best friends know who you really are, or is it just superficial and shallow? Be yourself and don't be afraid of showing your emotions. When you are yourself, you will be more relaxed, natural and believe me, people can see it in your face! If you trust your friend enough to just be yourself, and then your friend will trust you just as much. You will have an open and honest friendship where you don't have to pretend and be someone else.

• Love your friends:

A friend loves at all times. we can all be disappointed with friends and family. But that doesn't justify you from expelling them from your inner circle. Give them a chance, forgive them, and love your friends at all times.

• Commitment:

Work on your friendship and keep appointments. Do not arrive an hour too late for the movie or cancel one minute before you had a date. Keep in touch with your friends even though the two of you are far away from each other. This can be the hard job of a friendship. If you are suddenly far away it might just seem easier to give it up, but don't! Keep your friendship you never know what will happen. stay in contact. Write e-mails once in a while, call them and visit them.

• Trust:

Keep a secret. that's a really good idea! Don't talk behind your friends' back. And don't talk behind any ones back! How can you expect to find a friend if you talk behind the back of others? When people see you talk bad about others, they don't want you to become their friend, because they are afraid that you will talk behind their backs.

• Support:

Encourage your friend. we all have bad times and need a cheerful word from a friend. And if you start this very good habit and learn how to encourage people on your way in life you will get many friends. When you are positive and encouraging people will be attracted to you.

• Advice:

Tell your friend the truth. If your friend keeps coming too late for an appointment, then tell him/her there is a problem here. A friend is honest and open.

• Listen now!

A true friend has the time to listen. Do not be shallow and superficial. Show empathy and compassion. If you listen to your friend today, he or she will listen to you tomorrow!
