how to be a real friend


Have you ever wanted to be a real friend?

But you can't because you don't know how?

 

I'll tell you how to be a real friend to people

As long as you don't make it difficult to do

 

Real friends fight for you

So you need to fight 

For your friend 

Not against your friend

 

Real friends respect you

You need to respect your friends

And the way they think

 

Real friends include you

You need to include your friends

In every fun thing you do

 

Real friends encourage you

You need to encourage your friends

to do what's right

 

Real friends need you

You have to need your friend

When something's happeninng is your life

 

Real friends deserve you

You have to feel like you deserve your friends

Feel like there was a reason you became friends

 

Real friends stand by you

You need to stand by your friends

Even through the hard times

 

You're not a real friend if you don't do any of those things
