We all have friends; they can be best friends, good friends, or even bad friends. But what really makes a true friendship? To start off with, a true friend needs to be kind to you and doesn't ignore you. This goes the same for you: you have to treat your friend well and be social with him/her. I have some friends who just walk away when I try to talk with them, but most of my friends don't have this issue. If your friend doesn't want to hear you talk, or if he/she always treats you badly, then you're better off finding someone else to be your friend. A best friend also needs to be there with you most of the time when you're having a bad time with something or you're feeling down in the dumps. He/she needs empathy to know how you feel when in different situations so he/she can treat you and make you feel better. Friends have to help each other when facing difficult situations. For example, a student who is good at math helps out his friend who struggles with his math homework. Having friends help you can be better than having adults help you, in the sense that facing an adult can be intimidating and will not make you feel any more comfortable. These are the qualities that are a must in a long-lasting, true friendship; if your friend doesn't have some of these qualities, he/she might not be the perfect best friend for you.
