Are you a good BFF?

Admit it, you couldn't live without Hillary and Marissa, Jackie and Alex, Ashley and Heather, and your other 54 BFFs (best friends foreva!). Now that you've hit teenhood, your friends are the most important part of your life. They are the peeps you run to, the peeps who decide your every move. You'drather be with them than anyone else and you trust them with your deepest, darkest secrets. Right?

So why did Melissa tell Corey that your bra was slightly padded the other day during volleyball practice? And why would Carly repeat to Nikki that thing you said about Taylor? Now Taylor is upset and everyone is fighting.

What's a BFF anyway? Do you really have any best friends? Are you a good BFF? Being a good friend takes character and loyalty. Yet being a good friend isa very difficult goal, particularly during your teen years. Peer pressure. Cliques and groups. The temptation to gossip. These are all very realobstacles on the road to being a trustworthy BFF. And you know the saying, "To have a good friend, you first have to be one."

Want some friendly tips on friendship? Read on.

Friendly Tip #1: Get To Know Your Friends. You say you know who your friends are? Well, you might know what period they have English or the combination to their locker but do you really know what makes them tick? Sure Amanda loves barbeque potato chips, but do you know that she is afraid of the dark, hates her lips or has a half-brother who lives in Chicago? Understanding who your friends are will help you be a better friend to them.

Friendly Tip #2: Believe half of what you read and none of what you hear! Actually, that¹s an old saying but it still fits! A true friend doesn't succumb to rumors, half-truths and judgments about people they care about. Cynthia may have heard that your bff Jennifer was flirting mad with your latest guy during 5th period but get the facts straight first! Dont judge a friend without knowing the truth.

Friendly Tip #3: Know Who You Can Trust. People come in all shapes and sizes. And some people are just born gossips. Astrid may be great fun at the Mall but don't test your friendship by telling her secrets. On the other hand, Joanne is the perfect bff for shoulder-crying and her lips will stay sealed. Where do you fit in? Are secrets safe with you?

Friendly Tip #4: Nobody's Perfect! Everyone deserves a second (and maybe third, fourth, etc) chance. You and your friends are bound to make mistakes. Learn to forgive Laura for announcing that you just got your period. Take Melanie's apology for ignoring you during Music because shewas sitting with the popular girls. Bffs know how to say "I'm sorry" and "I forgive you."

Friendly Tip #5: Dont Stress! You know, sometimes bffs just want to have fun! Spend time with your favorite friends. Go shopping. Make up a dance routine. Pig out! Forget all about the little things that might bother you. In the end, a real bff is someone who makes you laugh!
