THE ABC'S OF FRIENDSHIP

A-lways be honest, would you want them to lie to you?
B-e there when they need you, oryou may wind up alone.
C-heer them on, we all need encouragement now and then.
D-on't look for their faults, even if you have none.
E-ncourage their dreams, what would we be without them.
F-orgive them, you just may do something wrong sometime.
G-et together often, misery loves company, so does glee.
H-ave faith in them, the human animal is remarkable.
I-nclude them, you may need to be included sometime.
J-ust be there when they need you.
K-now when they need a hug, and couldn't use one?
L-ove them unconditionally, that is the only condition.
M-ake them feel special, because aren't we all special?
N-ever forget them, who wants to feel forgotten?
O-ffer to help, and know when "No thanks" is just politeness.
P-raise them honestly and openly.
Q-uietly disagree, noisy NO's make enemies.
R-eally listen, a friendly ear is a sothing balm.
S-ay you're sorry, don't let them assume it.
T-alk freguently, communication is important.
U-se good judgment.
V-erbalize your feelings!
W-ish them luck, hopefully good!
X-amine your motives before you "help out"
Y-our words count, use them wisely.
Z-ip your lips when told a secret.
