A Middle School Top 10

Monday night at PI-678 (our middle school program), I had the students get together in small groups and come up with their Top 10 Characteristics of a Good Friend. After having them share their thoughts I gave a talk on friendships.

The Big Idea was: "I have to be the kind of friend I want."

When I got home I compiled their lists. Here are the Top 10 overall qualities they look for in a friend (in order):

1. Kind
2. Respectful
3. Honest/Truthful
4. Caring
5. Trustworthy
6. Loyal
7. Encouraging
8. Common Interests
9. Helpful
10. Good Listener
