Keeping and repairing friendships

(When things aren't going well in your friendship)

 

• Treat your friends the way you would like to be treated

• Have respect for each other no matter what happens

• Build trust ... in your friend

• Only make promises you can keep

• Be loyal ... keep appropriate secrets

• Admit your mistakes

• If you have a problem with a friend kindly talk with them about it

• If your friend wants to talk with you about a problem, don't walk off, it's important to talk it out

• Listening to gossip doesn't help friendships, neither does spreading it!

• Forgive each other and move on, don't keep bringing up the past
