Want some friendly tips on friendship? Read on.
Friendly Tip #1: Get To Know Your Friends. Du say Du know who your Friends are? Well, Du might know what period they have English oder the combination to their locker but do Du really know what makes them tick? Sure Amanda loves barbeque potato chips, but do Du know that she is afraid of the dark, hates her lips oder has a half-brother who lives in Chicago? Understanding who your Friends are will help Du be a better friend to them.
Friendly Tip #2: Believe half of what Du read and none of what Du hear! Actually, that¹s an old saying but it still fits! A true friend doesn't succumb to rumors, half-truths and judgments about people they care about. Cynthia may have heard that your bff Jennifer was flirting mad with your latest guy during 5th period but get the facts straight first! Dont judge a friend without knowing the truth.
Friendly Tip #3: Know Who Du Can Trust. People come in all shapes and sizes. And some people are just born gossips. Astrid may be great fun at the Mall but don't test your friendship Von telling her secrets. On the other hand, Joanne is the perfect bff for shoulder-crying and her lips will stay sealed. Where do Du fit in? Are secrets safe, sicher with you?
Friendly Tip #4: Nobody's Perfect! Everyone deserves a Sekunde (and maybe third, fourth, etc) chance. Du and your Friends are bound to make mistakes. Learn to forgive Laura for announcing that Du just got your period. Take Melanie's apology for ignoring Du during Musik because shewas sitting with the beliebt girls. Bffs know how to say "I'm sorry" and "I forgive you."
Friendly Tip #5: Dont Stress! Du know, sometimes bffs just want to have fun! Spend time with your Favorit friends. Go shopping. Make up a dance routine. Pig out! Forget all about the little things that might bother you. In the end, a real bff is someone who makes Du laugh!
