What Makes A Good Friend

In class we have been learning how to write persuisive writing. This is my argument on what makes a good friend.

My name is Courtney and my argument is what makes a good friend.  I will be sharing with you what I personally look for when finding and keeping a friend. Also If you need to be a better friend here are some tips on how.

One of the most important things in a good friend is honesty.  Honesty is something that every good friendship needs. Sometimes good friends will tell you things you don’t want to hear, but it might be something that you need to hear. Like, if you have bad BO a good friend would tell you. You would probably not want to hear that, but if your friend hadn’t you could get embarrassed. Also a good friend will give you honest advice, just like telling you that you that you need to wear deodorant. You don’t always have to take your friends advice, but a good friend will always give advice that they think will help you.

A good friend will always respect your choices and will also encourage you to make good decisions. Maybe as a good friend you might not like the choices your friend makes, but you will still have to respect them. That is just what being a good friend means. Also good friends will respect each others property when they use it.

Good friends need to support each other especially when one of you is upset or just going through something rough. When you're upset you’re going to need someone there to talk to and a good friend will be what you need. Also you might need support when you aren't sure of what to do. You might just need some advice.

Good friends are need to be honest, respectful and supportive. Most importantly good friends are meant to make you feel happy when you see them and they lift you higher with compliments, great advice and support.  I personally want my good friends to show all these qualities because then I know they care for me as much as I care for them.
