10 RULES FOR A REAL FRIENDSHIP
Here are ten rules that I feel are needed to have a real friendship:
1. Listen when your friend needs to talk, especially if she is having a bad day. Having someone to talk through a problem is very helpful because you could help her work it out.
2. Don’t expect her to think exactly as you do or judge her if she doesn’t. You are two different people and can’t expect to think the same all the time.
3. Never leave your friend for someone else when you’re with her because that will make her feel she isn’t good enough for you.
4. Be happy your friend has other friends and don’t be jealous or clingy. It’s great to have a whole bunch of friends to share.
5. Always encourage your friend to do her best and help her to believe she can accomplish her dreams. We all need a little cheer once in a while.
6. If your friend gets a bad grade in school and you get a good grade, give her a high five anyway. Don’t make a big deal that you did better than she did.
7. If your friend is messing up, tell her what she needs to hear. She might not realize what she is doing wrong.
8. Cheer her accomplishments, even it you have to swallow a bit of jealousy first. It’s always nice to be told you did a good job!
9. If you and your friend have argument, settle as soon as you can so you don’t ruin your friendship over a silly thing.
10. Always have fun with your friend and try to go to the mall as often as you can!!! Good times make great memories that friends can treasure the rest of their lives.

FRIENDS
A good friend never talks behind your back.
A good friend trusts you and cheers you up when you are sad.
She never lies and is patient.
They always cheer you on when you try your best.
I am thankful for good friends.

We think friendship is about friends who care for each other!
· They would never put any boy against their friends
· Friends would help each other when they’re put down
· They also hang out with each other on the weekends
· Friends help each other on their homework
· They stand for each other when one is being bossed around
· Friends never bail on each other
· They have fun with each other no matter what
· When they get in fights they work out their problems
· They never hurt each other
That is what we think about FRIENDSHIP!
