A friend is, A friend isn't...

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

A FRIEND IS....

Respectful

Caring,

Uplifing,

Inspiring,
Encouraging,
Helps you grow,
Loves you for who you are,
Always there for you,
,Understanding,
Listens to you.

A FRIEND DOES NOT....

Put you down,
Acts disrespectful towards you,
Say mean things to you,
Try to change you,
Say things that they know will offend you.. Espically regarding your beliefs,
Shut you out,
Ignore you

A friend supports you , A friend lets you be friends with whoever regardless of their opinion, A friend backs you up, A friend is honest with you.

A friend does not tell you that you are fat; if they ask, there is a nice way to put things, A friend doesn't try to blame everything on you when you try to confort them about issues, A friend does not talk behind your back.

If someone you consider a friend is not treating you right, confort them, do not let them get away with it.

Sometimes a "friend" crosses a certin line, and enough is enough, you need to tell them that if they are going to treat you badly, then you can't be friends. It may be hurt to lose a friend, but you deserve a friend that is going to treat you well and with respect.

And alway remember treat others how you would like to be treated in return.

Much Love,
Ash
