We all have that one best friend we can trust and rely on when needed. It's important that the friendship is equal and that we treat each other with the same level of respect & care. Here are some important traits to have as a BFF:

- Appreciative. Always say thank you to a friend who did something for you whether it be big or small.

- Honesty. Your bestie would rather hear the truth no matter how brutal it can appear, rather than being lied to.

- Encouraging. When your BFF is feeling low, cheer them up!

- Keeping promises. Only make promises you know you can keep. Don't commit to something if you know you can't follow through with it.

- Be a good listener. When your friend is opening up to you, make sure you give them your full attention and give advice when possible.

- Avoid jealousy. Your BFF will always have other friends, you don't need to be jealous of that. Don't make them feel bad for having other friends!

- Be forgiving. We all make mistakes, and it's important to learn to forgive your BFF. Don't hold grudges on things that can be rectified!
