What Makes A True Friend, By Alex Lickerman M. D.

A good friend is one that can be trusted and is loyal. These are the values

Loyalty is a concept, which can be seen in many point of views. Some people relate loyalty to love, friendships and family. Loyalty isn’t just loving someone, being kind and helpful, it’s being devoted to someone, when times get hard, appreciating them for what they’ve done for you, putting them before you; and no matter what you will always be there for them even at the hardest of times. For some people being loyal is harder at the hard times, some people let inhumanity take over man itself or people betray and sometimes for many different reasons like rumors going around school but sometimes for reasons you feel at first to be a good reason but in the end you just feel guilty like in the novel Night by Elie Wiesel; like the son of the Rabbi

A common thing people are loyal to, including me is their friends. Friendship is a very touchy subject when it comes to loyalty. I have many friends, but that doesn't mean I am loyal to them. My close friends are the only friends I am loyal to. The reason I say this is because loyalty is something that is earned not given. Even though I am loyal to them that doesn't mean my loyalty to them is unconditional. If one of them told me they were going to do something really bad or something that could hurt or affect other people badly

What exactly is loyalty? To me, it is your faithfulness to your commitments. You want people to trust you to do your part of whatever you may be doing. You don’t want to let them down. Loyalty is having people being able to depend on you. It is being honest and having trustworthiness. It is having integrity, being able to support others, and help them out. It is being a friend.

In a perfect world, everyone should be a real friend. But, for these a list of traits should be reached and, unfortunatelly, most of the people don’t own the necessary characteristics.

If you are a loyal friend, that means that you don’t turn your back on your friend, you don’t talk behind their back, you are honest with them, keep the promises you make them, and support them. The other side of being loyal is being loyal to yourself. Being loyal to yourself means that you follow your heart, you stand up for what you believes, you don’t let other people change your ideas, you do what makes you happy and you don’t let other people diminish you. Loyalty

“When you’re in a gang, you stick up for the members. If you don’t stick up for them, stick together, make like brothers, it isn’t a gang anymore” (Page 26). Ponyboy states this in the novel called The Outsiders. Loyalty is important because it builds strong relationships. Trust and loyalty are important qualities in a friendship. Ways to show loyalty are are by standing up for your friends, by sticking together, and by helping each other.

There’s many points of views on how loyalty is interpreted. Showing support towards one another, because of of the feeling of duty and love for eachother. Many terms such as love, friendships, and family relationships relate to it. Although all friends have their differences, loyalty overcomes the conflict between them and strengthens their friendship.

Honesty. – Honesty is most important to someone who is seeking the characteristic of loyalty. One who is dishonest, is not a loyal person. To be loyal, you must be entrusted to tell the truth and nothing but the truth at all times.

Loyalty: Loyalty is the trait of a good listener and friend to just be there when needed.

Loyalty is like a shadow it’s something that’s with you all of the time, but sometimes it’s hidden. Most people don’t show their loyalty hidden, but loyalty is something that’s not supposed to be hidden .To me loyalty is when someone is there for someone else. Loyalty is a characteristic many people should strive to have; it earns the trust and respect of many. A loyal person would never be able to fail someone because they are trustable. Loyalty is everywhere and there are many different kinds of loyalty.

A true friend will always be there for you. No matter how immense or diminutive the problem may be, true friends will be the first ones there. If somebody is having trouble understanding their homework, a friend will be there to help that person understand that material. When someone is feeling down and not having a great day, a friend will try to cheer you up by acting silly. A great friend will always try to be the first ones there, regardless of the situation. This is what separates a friend from a genuine friend.

Friendship is not simply a "relationship", knowing someone, conversing with that person, or dealing with that person in business, school, or in casual acquaintance. True friendship is not just a "relationship", but self-sacrificing love. A friend is also one who supports, sympathizes, and is a person in whom you can confide. There are unique qualities that a person must have to be considered a friend.
