A good friend is someone who is honest, share with you, someone who is kind, and someone who shares the same interests as you.

Friends are important to me because when you don’t have a brother or sister you’re lonely and have no one else to play with that’s the time to get a friend. When you have a friend you should treasure them forever. That what I think a good friend is.

A good friend is someone who is nice to you, shares the same interests as you and someone who is loyal.

Friends are important to me because if I have friends I’ve got someone to hang out with at recess and if I don’t have any friends all I’d do is sit around and mope. Another reason friends are very important is if you’re hurt or sad you have someone to make you feel better. That’s why I think friends are so wonderful.

What makes a good friend is someone that is there for you and that never lets you down. My friends always hang out with me and never leave my side.

Friends are important to me because they always have a good attitude when they talk to me and play with me. Friends are also important to me because if you hurt they are always help you and take you to where you need to go.

What I think makes a good friend is that they are truthful,kind and encouraging to you.

Why I think friends are important is because you always need someone to push you to do new things and to have someone you trust to listen to problems you might be having. A friend is someone you can have fun in life with.

1.What make a good friend is that person does not lie, is always nice and never is very mean. I make sure I have a lot in common with them like I don’t want to play with someone that likes ponies an does not like soccer or any kind of sports. Some other reasons is do you want a person who bully’s people and is very distracting in class. I would get very mad.
2. Why are friends important to me is that because e one time I was all alone at a table and then they came and sat with me. Also a lot of m y friends are there for me when I need them.

A good friend is not to lie and always tell the truth. What also makes a good friend is be nice and don’t tell them something like this. “Hay I was here first and that was my spot!” That’s saying something not nice. This is saying something nice. “Hay this was my spot but you can have it.”
Friends are important to me is that I friends have ability of not lying. They are also important to me because they give advice to you and I give them advice.

What makes a friend is honesty and loyalty and trust .You should always feel happy and safe with a friend. They should treat you how you want to be treated. They don’t back talk on you. Friends don’t get mad at you for silly things you did not do.
Why friends are special to me is they make me happy and to me friends are family. There are like stars in the night honey in a beehive.

1. A good friend is someone who is honest and responsible person, who does not get mad at you for anything that isn’t a big deal. You probably don’t want to be there friend if there that way.
2. Friends are important because they can talk to you about anything if they are having problems. If you are feeling sad about something than you should tell your friend about it. They can help you with your hard days so you always want to keep your friends.

Example is when a person takes care of you when you are hurt and friends are just like brothers
And sisters there always there right next to you when you are sad or angry. A good friend helps you with homework   a good person to have around and if they help you you are loyal to them.

A good friend is a person that forgives you when you mess up even when it is about them. I think a friend is a person that helps you though your whole life and does not mean to be mean to you. If you are a good friend you would stand up for them and they will stand up for you. A good friend will also comfort you when you are sad.

Isabella R. said...

A good friend is when somebody helps you when you need help or when you have a problem and when you have no one to play with.

Friends are important because they help you get throw your life and are never there to beat you up but they are there for to cheer you up. They do sometimes make you laugh so hard that milk can come out of your nose or make you cry tears of joy. But, you have to sometimes make them laugh.
