            In this life, we cannot life without other people. As we know, human is a sociable person that needs each others. In a friendship, we had to know how to be a good friend. Being a good friend is not easy if we never know how to be a good friend. I have some steps or tip how to be a good friend such as be honest, be loyal, supportive, share and give advices to your friends.

            The first is being honest. It is an important thing in a friendship. A dishonest person has no chance of having true friends. Keep your promises; do what you say you are going to do, and the most important thing is never lie. It is a hurt thing if you lie to your friend and your friend will never believe what you are saying about for the second. It too hard to your friend to believe you after you lay them. So, do not try to lie to your friend.

            The second thing is being loyal. To be a good friend, we should be a loyal person. Do not leave your friend if your friend gets serious trouble. Keep stay inside your friend whenever he/she needs your help.

            The third is being supportive. If your friend failed to take in something that he/she really wants and surrender to try it again, so you should have to give some supports to them. Do not laugh on his/her failed but you should give support to him/her. Make sure he/she is able to gets what they want about. So, just keep your support to your friend.

            The fourth is sharing each others. In a friendship, it is a usual thing to sharing each other with your friend. You can share each others whatever things that you want to share about. If you have a selfless friend, that always expects something back; try to accommodate. That is if one does not make it too obvious, like begging or envying. This does not mean giving large or expensive presents. It is can just mean being there when you are needed. If you already give a lot of your time, then that gift is probably in appreciation for that, so do not feel obligated to make an equal gift in that kind of case.

            The last one is giving advices, add perspective. Do not judge your friend, but do advise to stay out of dangerous situations where one may harm oneself or others. Tell him/her how you perceive his/her situation is, and what you might do in the same circumstances. Don not be offended by one listening to your advice and then decide to ignore it. Your friend must make his or her own decisions.
