#1 A good friend never leaves you behind.
(Whether it's heading down for recess,
or walking to school together,
friends always wait for each other!)
#2 A good friend always tells the truth.
(If you know something is amiss,
you need to let them know what you think,
even if it means hurting them.
Try to be more sensitive and let them down slowly.)
#3 A good friend never judges.
(When your friend does something to hurt you,
hear them out before you make any judgments.
Thay might have a good reason for doing what they did.
#4 A good friend never makes excuses.
(If your friend come to you for help,
don't make excuses and turn them away.)
#5 A good friend always listen.
(If your friend is in need of a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on,
always make sure you're there with tissues.)
#6 A good friend always protects.
(Always stand up for your friends,
especially against bullies.
Let them know you've got their backs no matter what.)
#7 A good friend always makes time.
(If you haven't seen your friends in a while,
give them a call and ask them to hang out with you.)
#8 A good friend always forgives.
(Just like how you would want your friends to forgive you for any wrongdoings,
you should do the same even if they offend you.
This is especially if they are truly remorseful.)
#9 A good friend doesn't get jealous.
(It doesn't matter if your friend gets better grades,
or has more money than you.
You should always feel happy for them,
not jealous.)
#10 A good friend always has fun.
(Getting your friends to smile and laugh is one of the best gifts you can gives them,
especially when they're down!
