What’s the secret of being a great friend? Here are some tips to help you be a nice friend.
Laugh and cry together.
Laughing with a friend is the best, but sometimes it’s crying that makes you closer together. Don’t be afraid to be yourself with your friends. Share your true feelings—you may learn that your friends feel the same way. As a result, friends will understand each other better.
Be a thoughtful gift giver.
Gift-giving isn’t just for birthdays or holidays—it can be a fun way of making your friends feel special! But don’t buy expensive presents—be creative! Making things shows your care, because you put time and thought into your gifts. Bake him favorite cookies, write him a poem, or draw something special for him. Small thoughtful gifts, such as picking a flower for a friend who is sick, just might cheer him up.
Stand up for him.

Other times, you need to show your courage and support him—he needs you. It may be not easy, but it’s what a good friend should do!
