NAME 4 WAYS TO BE A GOOD FRIEND:
Be honest
Don't talk about friends behind their back (that never goes well!)
Listen to them
Compromise. Example: "How about we do your idea today and tomorrow, we do mine? Does that sound good?"
When conflict arises, talk about it. (Ignoring them or the problem never works out.)
Say positive things/give compliments (who doesn't like that?!)
Let them share how they felt/feel without interrupting.
