Friend/Frenemy
I often feel bad about myself around this person.
Frenemy
A true friend always lets me go first and have the first pick of everything.
Not a healthy friendship.
True friends take turns, share and make things fair.
Before making a new friend you should:
A.See if your other friends like them first
B.Decide if you enjoy being around them
B. If you enjoy being around somebody, it doesn’t matter what other people think.
You can spot a frenemy by their looks.
False: Just because someone looks friendly, doesn’t mean that they are nice. Judge a friendship based on actions.
Healthy or not: Does Looking at social media have you comparing yourself to others.
NOT: Comparing yourself to others is never a good idea. Be true to who you are and never be ashamed of that. Real friends will respect that.
Helps me even when it’s not convenient for him/her
Friend.
A true friend will be there for you during good times and bad.
My good friend has enough problems in her life, so it doesn’t bother me when she is not able to help me.
Not healthy - Good friends help each other regardless of their own problems in life. Be aware of friends who take but never give.

C.none of the above
C. You should never judge somebody based on the opinions of others. Make your own choices. You don’t have to have everything in common to be friends.

I do things I really don’t want to do -- to keep them from getting mad.
Frenemy
Friends won’t make you feel bad for not doing what they say.
I can have a fun time even without my best friend around.

If your friend doesn’t like something about you, you should:
A.Change it so you can be closer friends.
B.Agree to disagree
B. Agree to disagree!
Differences make life more fun. It would be boring if everyone was the same.
It’s okay to do something you really don’t want to do in order to keep a friendship.

Makes fun of our other friends when they aren’t around.
Possible Frenemy. Beware of friends who make fun of their other friends. They may also do that to you when you are not around.
When I’m around my good friend, I am afraid that I will say something that will make them mad or sad.
Not healthy. One sign of a good friend is that you feel relaxed around them and not afraid of their reaction.
My friend never listens to me and only wants to talk about his/her problems. I should:
A.Let it go.
B.Tell them how it makes me feel
B. You deserve to have equal attention in a friendship. Always be honest with your friends and let them know how you feel. True friends will understand.
Good friends should talk every single day to keep from growing apart.
False:
(True friends keep their bond even when they spend time apart. It’s healthy to take breaks from each other and have other friends.)
Healthy or Not:
My friend can be jealous and controlling.
Not: You cannot excuse bad behavior just because they are your friend. Friendships should be healthy and respectful. .
