What makes a good friend?

Posted in My Writing on March 7, 2008 by aldurieta

Are good friends the ones that are with you when its for there own benefit or when they feel happy being around you? I think that a good friend is one that it there for you when you are sad and you need someone to talk to, that is loyal and if you tell them a secret they won’t go around the whole school telling everyone they can, and lastly one that is real not a fake.

If they are your friends they will be there with you not let you be sad. If they do that means they don’t really care of what’s going on with you. In my case I also have good friends that do care about me and ones that don’t. The person that I considered my best friend, Estefani, she really wasn’t there for me most of the time. She was the person I knew for the longest time. Then she started ditching me and hanging out with the girls that thought they were way better than other girls. Than she stopped talking to me and basically we separated from each other. When she needed something she called me but she didn’t even asked how was I. I still thought of her as my friend and I helped her out but then I just got tired of it. I realized that other girls that had barely meat me tried to cheer me up when I was sad and that I realized that they were my true friends. If they would’ve just left me be sad I would think that no one cares about me, and that I am not important to anybody.

Another one of the traits that makes a good friend is being loyal. Is one that doesn’t go tell your secrets to other people around the school so that you can get embarrassed. My person that i consider loyal is my friend Hani Hagi. When I tell her my problems she listens to me, she gives me advices if something is wrong, and she cares about me. I share my most important and delicate secrets with her and she doesn’t go around telling anyone else what I told her. Also, she trusts me too. We tell each other everything and we don’t go tell other people each others secrets. If she wouldn’t be loyal I would not have anyone to tell all my secrets to.

In addition, a friend depends on whether they are real not fake. It means that they are there for you so you can think they are your friends but then they talk behind your back. For example, one time when I was nine years old, my two friends were my neighbors and they knew each other more than they knew me. One day I went to Estefani’s house and she started talking to me about our other friend of how she didn’t like her. But when we were at school or talking about life and Mexico she would act like, nothing like if she had never said anything about her.  I would get confused because with me she would talk about her and after that I wasn’t sure if she would talk about me with her or not. If she had not been like that I think that I would’ve had trusted her more.

In conclusion, friends are not based on appearances they are based on how they think and on their feelings. These traits in that friend are that they are there for you when you need them, you can trust with your most valuable secrets, and that they are real not fake. I think this traits are very important in a person because without them this world would be worst than it is.
