Monday night at PI-678 (our middle school program), I had the students get together in small groups and come up with their Top 10 Characteristics of a Good Friend. After having them share their thoughts I gave a talk on friendships.
The Big Idea was: “I have to be the kind of friend I want.”
When I got home I compiled their lists. Here are the Top 10 overall qualities they look for in a friend (in order):
- Kind
- Respectful
- Honest/Truthful
- Caring
- Trustworthy
- Loyal
- Encouraging
- Common Interests
- Helpful
- Good Listener
