Friends

What makes a good friend? On Valentine's Day we usually let those we care about know how much we like them. As you think about the special people in your life, what are the characteristics you think are most important in a good friend? Write a few sentences to describe what you think makes a good friend.

Here is my example:

I am lucky to have several good friends. When I think about what makes my best friends so special it is that I always feel good when I am around them. We have a good time together even when we are not doing anything special. They don't expect me to be perfect and love me even when I make mistakes. They are always there for me when I need to talk about something important. I hope others think I am a good friend too.

    When I think about good friend is when they help you when you get hurt. I also think a good friend is when you play with them. And I also think when you are a good friend is when they have a sleepover.

    A good friend is someone who plays with you. When you are sad they will cheer you up. If they get mad at you they will still be your friend. For example, if you fight over a jump rope and your friend grabs it out of your hand, you should just walk away even though you are mad because they will still be your friend the next day. A good friend will not laugh at you when you make a mistake and will help you if you need help.

    I think a good friend is a person that always has your back through every thing. They help you a lot. I think a nice friend is a friend that is forgiving. But if they just want hang out with you because of your cool stuff that is not a friend, a friend is someone that likes you for who you are. I'm lucky I have good friends that like me for who I am.

    I think a good friend is someone who includes you in many things and makes sure you feel like your in the green circle. Someone that cares about me is someone named Jillian! She keeps me feel save at school and at other places to. I am a person that trys to include and play. A lot of people think I am a nice person but I try not to show that because I don't like when I make people sad and I am not there to help if I don't know it! I think a nice friend is someone that is always there for their friend!

    I think a friend is some one that cares about you and helps you if you need help. Friends might get mad at you but they do not stay mad at you forever. A friend is a person that shows you caring, sharing and respect. A friend would cheer you on. Your friend should always make you smile. Friends should forgive you and apologize to you. A friend is some one who plays with you. Your friend is some one who under stands you in every way. You and I are very lucky because we have great friends. I can't even think what the world would be like if people weren't friends. Can you?

    One of my friends is almost just like me but he is taller. Me and him have a lot of stuff in common. One of the things that we have in common that we both like to be funny. Another thing we have in common is we are both reading the Percy Jackson book sires, have the same hair color, we were both at each others houses, we like shoes and and the same cloths. I'm glad to be his friend.

    I think that a good friend is someone that cares about you and doesn't make you feel bad. Like my friend Kelsey she is a good friend because if someone is mean to me Kelsey is always there to make me feel better.
