Me as a friend

Remember that message? Want a friend? Be a friend! Here’s a chance for you to have a go at describing what you are like as a friend.

  • Supportive
    you stand up for friends if they are being teased and you stand by them when times get tough
  • Helpful
    friends can talk to you about their problems and you try to help them work things out
  • Fun
    you know how to have a good time
  • Kind
    friends know you care about them and you are thoughtful and friendly
  • Trusting
    if you are told something in private you can keep it to yourself
  • Sense of humour
    you see the funny side of things and you know how to make others laugh
  • Flexible
    you make compromises when you don’t agree about something and you realise friendships are give and take
  • Make positive comments
    you give praise when a friend is successful and you build them up instead of putting them down
  • Share
    you don’t mind sharing what’s yours with others
