Answer:
Well we all know the way too overused/ cliched phrases like ”Be your self” or “Always be there for you friend when you need it“ Or even “your friend will be there for you no matter what”. Well I don’t think those are key things. Here’s my list that I have ought to keep since middle school.
1) DONT LIE, this is the most common thing in my opinion. Friends tell lies, and you tell lies. Thats not how friendship works. I wouldn’t even white lie on most occasions due to the fact that if a friend comes in with the worst hair cut you have ever seen in your life, they know it themselves its bad, you don’t gotta make it worse by saying it looks great. Follow the laws of rhetoric to make things play out better then a white lie or even the truth (Art of convincing). Adress the situation, then explains the outcomes and side with hem saying whatver but not main points, just common ones and visible ones, then come up with a resolution, (in these cases just tell em don’t worry about it, it’ll all blow away when _______ (thing that happened).
2) Don’t use money to buy friends, seriously don ‘t. They’ll see you as a free bank and things will only go downhill form there.
3) Never steal or hurt your friend in any way.
4) Sure do what both of you guys or more like but sometimes explore other things, discover new ways and stronger ways to bond. Maybe sucking up to go on a roller coaster or even taking a hit for your friend while playing paint ball.
