Good friend is those who help in struggle and when we need, as saying goes 'friend in need is friend in deed'.Those friend who are kindness,trusted,Lovely,were the true friend and good.Each and every step we need friends without friend I think we can't do anything,Good friend always help in positive way.Friends are more important then other because they will be their when ever we need and want.I feel proud of myself because I have a lots of friends which they all do good to me and help in when ever I need.Friend Loves is Like a water following in river and is not like a difadiol which bloomed today and wehtrew away tomorrow.

A good friend is someone who doesn't sees you as a friend when he/she is in need. A good friend never withdraws back or leaves you when you are in trouble. A good friend instills good values and never pushes his/her friend into wrongdoings. A good friend doesn't always gives praises but also criticizes you for your wrongdoings and mistakes. However, a good friend accepts you in spite of your shortcomings and imperfections. A good friend may be similar to a diamond; difficult to find but when you find one, you'll be one lucky man on earth.

Being a good friend it is not just having a good times with others it's also about how willing you are to put your friend first or point out when they are doing something you don't agree with. Have a read through my checklist and see how good a friend you are. 1.Are you a good listener 2.Are you approachable 3.Are you a trustworthy 4.hmmmp Do you Avoid gossiping about others 5.are you selfish rather that selfish

All the point you said is right.Its difficult to find good friend in our life.To be a good friend there should be a respect among us.Being a good friend is not just having a good time with each other.Friendship is very important in our life.Friendship makes person happy in their life.Being a good friend is not liking you friend and all the time talking with them.

Respect is one of the most important factor why friends stick together. Without it the friendship will vanish without a trace.

Well, for me good friends means who cure me, trust me, sharing his/her too feelings to me and showing respect and kindness to everybody. Actually good friend are like those who giving full company, loyalty, enjoyment and helping problems each other.

Loyalty is one great aspect in friendship. When your friend tell you some secret or tell you in confidence, do not tell it to others. It is when trust earned that you two can become good friends

a good friend is someone who can lend you on some problems who are willing to help you if you have problems, share laughter too if your bored and lonely... "A friend in need is a laughter indeed"

All of what you have put.I think to be a good friend to some one aswell is the same as them being the same to you.I think that saying that sometimes there are people out there that tend to try to stir between friends,like say that they have been back stabbing you where as they have not.

Everything that you said makes the most quality of being a good friend. To make it simple, a good friend is a person who will not leave you even when the time comes that it's very impossible to have one. I am lucky to have one! :)

All what you have mentioned is right but it very difficult to find a good friend.For good friend means who you can trust by telling his/her secret things.A good friend is sharing the happiness and sadness with you and when ever you need it.

Finding good friends are just like trial and error. I dont usually give my full trust to a person i just met. Sharing sadness is great. You will know a true friend once you'll see them constantly in times of sorrow, in times when you are most in need of a friend.

What makes me a good friend is how I'm willing to do anything for my friends, and how we share almost everything with one another, like sisters/sister-brother. It's amazing to have friends because they're a sibling that you've always wanted if they're a great friend to have around that you like. You can definetley count on them for anything, and they love you.:)

All of what you have mentioned makes a good friend. What makes me a good friend is the respect I have for all my friends.What makes me a good friend is the time I give to my friends even though I know that I need to be in my office and be working. What makes me a good friend is the way I am happy when they succeed and guide them when I feel that they are getting carried away in the wrong direction.
