A good friend
- Will be there for you.
- Talk to you kindly and listen if you need them.
- You can trust them with your worries.
- Someone who will stand up for you, care about you and respect you.
- They may share your interests, and you’ll have fun and enjoy spending time together.
- You might fall out sometimes but you know how to sort out your problems in a kind and gentle way.
A not so good friend
- Might try to control you.
- They may tell you that you can’t have any other friends.
- They may try to force you to do things you don’t want to do or be someone you are not.
- They may be unkind to you or about you when they’re with other friends.
- You may feel uncomfortable or unhappy with them a lot of the time and this is a sign that the friendship may not be healthy for you.
Having boundaries in friendships is important, and though it’s nice to say yes to people we care about, it’s also important to say no if we need to.
