How to keep a good friend

In our lifetime, we will be in contact with plenty of people from school, workplace or even social networking websites. We can always make some friends from these places, but sadly, only a few of them can remain in our mind, and become our intimate friends. Therefore, if we are lucky enough to have such good friends, what can we do to keep our friendship going? The following are some tips that we can follow:

Reach out to your friends. When your friend is in a pickle, struggling with his/her emotions, please give timely help and assistance. For instance, he/she feels left out at school and no one wants to talk to him/her. In this case, try to tell him/her to look on the bright side, meanwhile, advise him/her to join a club or activity.



Stick to your promise. If you promise your friend that you will help him/her keep a secret or something, then you’d better stick to it. In other words, talk the talk and walk the walk. If you accidentally divulge your friend’s secret, then you should tell your friend in advance that you've revealed his/her secret and give a plausible explanation. Sometimes he/she will appreciate what you've done.

 add fun to your life

Respect your friends. When you are very close to your friend, it doesn't mean you can act any way you want – eat in his/her bed, use his/her stuff without permission or even talk behind his/her back. Everyone has their pet peeves about something. We should take care not to offend them. Simply put, you can win the respect of others only when you know to how show respect to others.

Give an unexpected surprise. Surprising your friend is always an unexpected catalyst for a friendship boost. For example, if your friend’s birthday is coming up, you can try to throw him/her an amazing party that he/she will never forget and buy him/her a very special gift.



Except for these tipssometimes withstand the treacherous weather by experiencing wind and rain together. You will find out that your friendship will become even stronger than before, because the hour of need shows the friend indeed.


Think where man's glory most begins and ends and say my glory was I had such friends.  
- William Butler Years (1865-1939)
