THREE QUALITIES OF TRUE FRIENDS

Three Qualities of true friends.

Friends are an important part of our lives.  In order to be true friends, they should have certain qualities.  Three qualities that a true friend must have is honesty, care, and loyalty.

The prompt is asking about qualities of TRUE friends.  This is very different from just friend you just hang around for fun.  True friends are family.  They will be next to you for a lifetime, maybe not physically but spiritually. 

The First quality of true friends is loyalty.  True friends never betray each other.  They are there for each other even if it is a situation where one could get hurt or get in trouble.  For example, if there is a fight and your friend is getting beat up and it looks as if it will get more serious, a true friend would jump in and help the friend, even if they still lose.  Of course, he or she will get hurt, but if that is what it takes to keep a true friend from getting really hurt, one must go for it.  It does not even matter who won the fight, what matters is someone helping someone in need.  Another thing that is common nowadays is spreading rumors.  I have seen a lot of people spreading rumors, false or true, in my school and in a lot of places.  It is very common; even fully grown adults spread rumors.  They do not even know if it is true or not, they just spread it and not even think about what’s going to happen to the person the rumor is about.  A true friend would never spread rumors like this because they actually care about the person the rumor is about and how they would think about it.  Rumors doesn’t sound very important but to the person it affects, it is VERY important.

            The second quality of a true friend is care.  True friends care about each other; whether they had lunch and dinner, whether they have worries or not, whether he or she is sick.  A true friend is like a mother, caring for her child.  Just friends would not actually care about these things and would just like to play.  Care is only present if there is love.  Not the love that boy feels toward a girl or the love that the girl feels toward the boy but love between friends.

           The last quality of a true friend is honesty.  This is very important, even for couples.  If there is no honesty, that means that there is lying going on and this will lead to fighting.  Honest friends would last longer than not honest friends.  Even if there is something that is secret, between true friends is should be shared.  For example, if there is a secret that friend number one knows and friend number two does not know, and friend number two finds out the secret and also the fact that friend number one didn’t tell him, he would be sad.  Friend number two will talk to friend number one about it and arguments will start. 

            These are the qualities of a true friend.  Although it is picky to deal with a true friend, it isn’t a bad idea to have one because it will benefit each other to have someone really close to share everything with.  Even just talking about a problem does a lot of help.
