There is no rule to how many friends you can have. Some people will argue that you can only have one BFF, but thats not true! I have 7 best friends and we all have different interests- yet we still love each other and appreciate each other for who we are.
For example one of my best friends likes drawing, another loves horses, another is into acting, another into writing, another into monkeys, another into singing, another into just having fun!!!!!! But we all get along. We all have our own talents, but we all strive to make each other happy. THAT is what makes a good friend.
WHAT MAKES A GOOD FRIEND:
1. She is kind to you. She doesnt make fun of you or critisize your dreams. When she looks at you she sees all your good points, not the bad ones
2. She can cheer you up. She knows how to make you happy and she will do all she can to help you.
3. She understands you. She knows all about you from your favorite color to that embarresing secret you only told her. So she knows just what to do when your down
4. She respects you. She doesnt blab your secrets to the world or diss you with other girls. She's ready to stand up for you.
5. She laughs with you. When your together it makes her happy and it makes you happy too.
6. She doesnt care if your popular. Or smart, or pretty, or perfect.....(even though you probably are). She would always stick by you. Because she loves YOU and not your material possesions or popularity.
7. She is her own person. She might like the same things you do- or she might not. But either way she expresses herself and confides in you. She trusts you.
8. She listens to you. When you just want to talk to her she is happy to oblige. She will sit with open ears.
9. She might argue with you- but she helps to make up. She might break the good friend rules once in a while but she accepts all credit for her mistakes and works to say she is sorry.
10. She forgives you. If you ever make a mistake she will gladly accept your appology.
These special steps to being a good friend isnt just for a bud of yours- its for YOU too. Do you do these things? Think about it.
Being a kind, caring friend is essential.
NOW HERE ARE......
WHAT MAKES A BAD FRIEND
1. She makes fun of you. She tells you to change and laughs at your dreams.
2. When your upset, she tells you to stop being a wimp. She doesnt care about your feelings.
3. She doesnt really get you. She doesnt really care.
4. Sometimes when your with her you feel uncomfortable, and sometimes you see her look at her watch as if she wants to go home.
5. She doenst respect you. She gossips about you and tells your secrets to people. She mgiht deny it but she does.
6. She wont hang out with you in front of her other friends because your not "cool". Or maybe she only hangs with you because of something stupid like your money or possesions.
7. She doenst have a personality. She is like a robot and she just follows whatever anyone popular does. She badgers you and forces you to change.
8. She doesnt listen to you. Shes self centered and only talks about herself.
9. When you argue she refuses to believe she did anything wrong even when she did. She doenst apoligize.
10. She doesnt accept your apologys.
These traits equal a bad friend. Do you ever act this way? Do any of your friends act this way?

My name is Shannon! I am 11 years old. My interests and talents include: singing, dancing, acting, reading, writing, swimming, and website building. 
I am funny and witty. I have tons of friends. Im not in the "popular crowd". in other words i dont talk dirty and wear skirts that show my entire backside. I AM in the REAL popular crowd. In other words i have tons of friends, everyone likes me, and i know that im special and individual. People sometimes ask me how i ignore the popular kids. Sometimes those stupid "popular kids" will make fun of my clothes or something else idiotic like that. I will simply answer, "Becuase im individual and not a little robot like you" Then i walk away. Sweet victory.
