I want to trust and look up to friend. He can tell me his feelings. I like to play ball and play hide and seek. When he is hurt I can help. That’s what makes me a good friend.

Hey Alexia! Kindness and trust are important in a friendship because then it is a little easier to understand things and when one of you is upset the others can help. Loyalty is a very good thing to have because then when you need someone to talk to you can go to them. I have hyper friends because I like to be around positive people who like me for me and not because of something I think I am or because of the other people I hang out with. Thanks for commenting!

Hey Kayleigh! Honesty, respect and beliefe in god are good things to look for. Respect is really good because then you dont have people making fun of you because of how you dress or look. If my friends aren’t respectful to me then they do not deserve my respect and I do not want to be friends with someone who does not treat me well. I don’t like to be lied to and it hurts when its happens to so I appercaite honesty in friendship to. Thanks for commenting!

Hi Sam & Michael! My students had a wonderful time commenting on your blog post today. Isn’t it neat to see how people around the world look for the same qualities in friends? It really goes to show what an important part of our lives that friends can be. Keep up the great work. We hope you’ll check out our class blog sometime. We’ve been collecting information on people’s heroes. Who are your heroes?

Thank you! I think that my hero’s are… Ghandi and my mom. My mom was on the Canadian national volleyball team and she really got me interested in the sport. Ghandi was such an amazing person and thats really all I can really say because when you say his name it kind of explains its self. thanks for the comment.

Dear everyone,
I have loved reading all your comments about what makes a friend and a hero – especially Sam’s heroes.
I live in the UK but right now I think Mr Obama is a hero for achieving so much and being a great dad.
My friends are the people who love me and stick with me through tough times. They are also good listeners. i hope I am a good friend to them, too.

Somethings I look in a friend are, kindness, sense of humor, fun, and know how to throgh an rockin’ party. The reasons I like those qualitys are kindness makes you feel good, when people have a sense of humor it makes you laugh, and when you laugh it makes you happy, and when you have a friend that is fun, well thats just having fun.

Hey,
I love this post. I think in order to be a good freind that they would have to be able to be trusted. Another thing that I look for in a good friend, would have to be their hummor. I am very funny so I want a friend that would be funny with me. And last but not least, I look for a person who will not fight with you over the lilltest things.

a friend should be considered as a part of the family. you should tell them secrets and they don’t tell them.That is a friend
A friend should be there to the very end.you should talk to them like you want them to talk to you.And Most Importantly THE GOLDEN RULE
