  1. I have many best friends that have many different qualities that I admire about them. One I think they all have is an amazing sense of humour. All my best friends know how to laugh and when to laugh and don't take each others jokes or when we make fun of each other to heart. This helps our friendship because we have to ability to laugh if we are in a fight therefor we have fewer arguments. Another quality they have is that they are very positive in negative situations. I really like surrounding myself with positive people because it affects our friendship and me as an individual.

    2. Having a friend who can make you laugh is probably one of, if not the most important quality about friends and the fact that you have a group of people like that is really great.

    3. I agree that laughing with your friends is probably one of the best feelings, and surrounding yourself with down to earth people is good.

  2. To me, what I admire most about my group of friends is that we’re all very different. We all have a different quality to contribute that separates us from one another, which allows us to share our differences and enjoy some very interesting conversations. Some contribute humor, which gives everyone a good laugh, others are kind and loyal, the kind of people you can trust with anything, and some are just generally happy positive people that put you in a good mood. To me, finding a balance between all these people makes a really nice group of people you enjoy spending time with. While it’s nice to find a friend who’s exactly like you, it’s also great to find someone who’s the complete opposite of your personality. Friends are more than the people you eat lunch with, they’re your second family. You have to surround yourself with the kind of people who will accept you no matter what and will always know how to put a smile on your face. Overall, having a group of friends who each contribute different qualities leads to unique friendships, diverse conversations and never a dull moment.

    1. Differences can definitely help keep your group of friends together. It keeps it fun and interesting when you can each bring something new to the table. I agree that it is never a dull moment with your friends!

    2. I love how you compare your friends to a second family because it is so true! You tell your friends things that no one else knows and they are the people that you spend the majority of your spare time with.

    3. It's amazing how such different people can be such best friends! I also consider my best friends as my second family, my sister.

  3. I could never pick one best friend out of my group of friends. Same as I could never pick one quality I value over all the others. However some of the qualities that I see and value in my friends are respect, humor and loyalty. Respect is a huge quality that I value and have in all of my friends. If you can’t respect your friends then how can you expect them to respect you. If they do not respect me or another friend I can get really offended because there is a point beyond just joking to actually hurting someone’s feelings. Which leads me to my next quality, which is humor. I really like when people can laugh at a joke and not take things to personally. That a key factor in a friendship, to know when to laugh it off. Lastly I really admire loyalty in all of my friends. It is the worst thing when someone who you thought was your friend stabs you in the back and when they don’t keep promises. I find that these 3 qualities affect my friendship because it is important to me to be always able to count on a friend, be able to laugh with them and to have their respect.

  4. I don’t really have one best friend out of my group of friends but I love them all for their different personalities. There’s the one that always makes the stupid comments that makes everyone laugh, the brainy one, the one that’s always confused, and so much more. What I like the most about my friends is that we are always there for each other and we always do the stupidest yet funniest things together, which end up being some of the best times that we spend together. I remember when we went to Stratford at the beginning of the year, when we were coming back and we stopped for supper, we had the stupidest argument about something and we all ended up in tears from laughing so much!! To me those are the best times that I spend with them.

    1. I definitely agree with this. Each of my bestfriends have very distinct qualities but yet we are all really close friends

  5. One quality I admire about my friends is their sense of humor. I am so grateful for their sense of humor because it's the only thing that get's me through the school day. I would never be able to live my life without humor from my friends. They make me happy every second of the day. I love all the stupid jokes they make. This quality impacts my life in a very positive way. During the day all the hilarious things my friends do make my day easier and so much happier. I honestly would not know what to do without them.

  6. I have a lot of close friends which each have amazing qualities. I love them all and each of their unique qualities. But I find the best quality in all of my friends is that they always know how to cheer me up and think positive all the time. Whenever I'm having a bad day or problems with personal stuff, they always know how to take my mind off of everything and make me smile and laugh histarically. When I think negative at times they tell me things to make me feel positive and cheerfull. I'm extremely grateful for all of my friends and I love them all to death.

  7. Where to begin, I love all my friends for different reasons and qualities. I love that some of them make an effort to remember important things about you, some just try to make you laugh and others try to make your day. All of my friends are so different so it is difficult to find one specific quality that is most important. I think overall to me it is important that you know that your friends will always have your back no matter what, through thick and thin. This means that you can trust them and that they are loyal to you, two very important qualities. My friends mean more to me than just people I know, they are my family, I share my best and worst days with them and I wouldn't change my time with them for the world!

  8. I have many friends but I can’t pick just one to be the best of the friends. I love that all of my friends have a great sense of humor especially because I like telling jokes. I like how each person has a different connection with one and other like we don’t talk about the same things with everyone and everyone has their own jokes with this certain person. With one friends it will be making each other laugh constantly and with another it will be talking about what goes on in our life and others will be just random subjects every time we talk. I like how my friends know when to laugh and know when to be supportive. I like being just alone with someone but when we are together its always so much fun. They always make me smile when I see them they are the best!

  9. My best friends have so many qualities that I admire about them. I think that one quality that my friends have is honesty. My friends and I try to keep nothing from each other so we know everything about each other’s lives and how they’re feeling. Also a quality that I admire about my friends is the kind of humor we all have towards each other. We have a lot of inside jokes and we all get each other really well. They make a huge impact on my life because we’re so close and do everything together.

  10. I have many close friends, but my best friend is Ericka Iny. She is my best friend because we like the same things, we support each other and we listen to each other. The quality that I admire the most in a friend is trust. Ericka trusts me and I can trust her. Being able to trust each other has a big impact on our friendship because we can tell each other anything, it gives both of us a sense of security knowing someone is there for you!

    1. I think trust has a huge place in friendships. Trust is a big thing, and it's always good to know that you can confide in at least one person.

  11. What is a best friend? A best friend is someone who admires your qualities as much as you admire theirs. I have many friends, and a lot of really close friends, but I only have one best friend. I don't think I could ever pinpoint a specific quality about my best friend that makes us so close. I think that best friends get along so well because their qualities and characteristics keep us on our toes. Me and my best friend are always making fun of each other, and laughing, but we also can trust each other with anything. Qualities such as trust and humour and loyalty are all important. I don't think just one quality can define a best friend, and the impact they have on our lives.

  12. Sarnai is one of my closest friends of all time and I absolutely adore her! She has so many amazing qualities, but I love the way she is able to laugh about something really stupid with me or act completely immature with me and then switch to a serious person when I need her to be. I have friends that are really fun to joke around with and then I have friends who are always there for me that I can never really have fun with. Sarnai is right in between! Also, she's different from a lot of people. She likes to express her words differently and look at the world through other people's perspectives instead of her own. She is always looking for a complicated word to fit into a sentence just to mix me up and is the first person I call when something goes wrong! I love her so much! She is absolutely my best friend!

  13. My best friend moved away a few years ago to Toronto. We met when we were both 3 years old and have been best friends ever since. Something I love about our friendship is that even though we are so busy, we still find time to talk to each other whether it's via texting, Facebook or talking on the phone. She is someone I can trust with everything even though we have been miles apart for many years. Another thing I love is that every time we see each other, it's never awkward. We spend hours talking, catching up and there is never a minute where we feel awkward because we haven't seen each other in so long. I love seeing her because I only get to see her about 1-2 times a year. My family is planning a short family vacation to Toronto soon so I am really looking forward to potentially seeing her!

    1. It's so sweet how even though your friend moved away you keep in touch. It shows how much you guys care about each other. I know how it feels to have someone you can trust with anything and it's such a great feeling!

  14. I love all my friends and they all have different qualities that I love. A quality that most of my friends have is a really funny sense of humour. We always make so many jokes, say weird things and always laugh even during really serious situations. I love how when we insult each other nobody takes it seriously. I also love how when I'm feeling sad or need someone to talk to my friends are always there to help me through a hard situation. They can just say something that can make me smile or laugh and I get so much happier. I don't how I could ever survive without my friends who I can be myself around and always have a great time.

    1. I completly agree with you that close friends are the people that you can truly be your self with and laugh with! I think your right that it's important to just have fun and laugh!

  15. The thing that I admire most about my friends would be the ability they have to laugh at them selves and there ability not to take things to seriously! My friends all have the ability to find the positive in every situation and the ability to not let the little things in life get to them! They have taught me not to take life too seriously and to just laugh and have fun! I know I can say anything to my friends and they will know what I mean and they can just laugh about it! When I am with my friends we are always laughing whether we are laughing at each other or at ourselves we are always having fun and laughing! I think it's important to have friends that make you happy and that you can have fun with but most importantly friends that you can laugh with! I think that life is to short to be spending it with friends that you can't be yourself with and that you can't laugh with so I surround my self with friends that Can make me laugh out loud and that I can trust and have fun with!

    1. I agree! People need to learn to take a joke and they need to turn that frown upside down.

  16. The one quality that I like about my friend is that he can take an insult. My friend is awesome because we are constantly insulting each other but its hilarious. Our humor is literally just insulting each other and then laughing. This quality impacts our friendship because we can insult each other as a joke but still pass a message. For example, if he would make a joke about my hair then I would laugh but I will know that my hair looks bad today. Even though it usually looks like we hate each other, its hilarious because we both know that we are kidding when we say something mean to the other person. We also cheer for different sport teams so when my team wins I always text him just to make him mad. But it goes the other way around when his team wins...

    2. I love that type of friendship that you have when you can insult the person so badly, but they laugh with you and will never get upset. They just do it back.

    3. I totally agree with you, those types of friendships are the best because it makes the friendship more interesting and fun.

  17. An important quality that I look for in my best friend is tolerance. For many people a quality they look for in their best friend would be a good sense of humor or something nice like that, not for me. I look for tolerance in my best friend because I am a weird person and if my best friend can’t see my weirdness and except it, we’re going to have a problem. I have accepted that I’m weird and to be my best friend you have to except that too.

  18. In my group of friends, there are many different qualities that I admire about them. It was hard to choose just one, but I managed to think of one that stood out to me. This quality was that we are all silly and kind of crazy. We all make each other laugh pretty much all the time. I know I can count on them to cheer me up when I’m not have a good day. My friends and I share common interests and therefore we all have a good laugh together. I don’t think I’ve ever gone a day not crying of laughter with my friends. We also tease each other but never take it seriously because we know that we like to bug one another. I think that without all of our sense of humor, our friendship would not be as fun as is it.

  19. I think that one quality that all of my best friends have is, athleticism. I think that this quality impacts our friendship, because all of us are athletic; that gives us more to talk about and more to do. For example if we go to one of our houses, we would all rather go outside and play a sport than stay inside and play video games all day. It also keeps everything interesting since we all have different strengths in different sports.

    1. I agree, it's more fun to go outside and do something athletic with your friends rather then just sit inside all day.

  20. My favourite quality that my best friends have is probably energy. I know it sounds weird but it's true. Both of them are constantly excited and happy and honestly it rubs off. Whenever I'm with them we end up doing crazy things and I'm definitely more energetic. I also become a lot less shy with my friends because sometimes we'll be doing some weird thing that I would never do alone but knowing that I'm with my best friends makes it so much easier to do.

  21. I have a few amazing friends that I’m grateful to have in my life. There are 2 qualities that they all have that stand out the most to me. Trustworthy and humorous. I trust each and every one of them. That is an important part of friendship. I know that whenever I tell these guys a secret, they will keep it and never share it. They are all so funny and are always making me laugh. Laughter is an amazing quality to have in a friend. It’s always nice to have a good laugh but at the same time, if I’m having a bad day, they know how to cheer me up instantly.

  22. A quality that I admire about my best friend is the fact that she has a similar sense of humor as me. This makes it so that when we are joking around, we do not take the things we say to heart because we know that the other did not mean it and was only kidding. I think that this impacts my friendship a lot because if my best friend were not able to understand my sense of humor than she would probably get insulted by a lot of the things I say and the friendship would not work.

  23. I have lots of friends that all have very different qualities but I think a quality that we all really share is athleticism. Most guys play some type of sport and this quality really brings us together by going to games, talking about games or playing them. I think this quality is really popular among people and its also how a lot of people meet their friends. - Dennis Mayuga

  24. I have a lot of close friends and one quality I think stands out the most would be having the same style and tastes. With one of my close friends we have the same taste in music and same sense of style for example. This impacts our friendship because it gives us more things to talk about. By having the same interests and stuff in common, it let's us have a stronger friendship and keeps us close.

  26. I have a whole group of bestfriends that all have unique qualities that i admire. They are all so different in some ways but also very similar in others. A good example of this is that each of them have very distinct fashion sense but we all borrow eachother's clothes constantly. Something i really love about them is their levels of maturity. Sometimes we get into fights over the stupidest things. I think the main source of our conflicts is actually food believe ir or not. When it comes down to making decisions and having good judgement, they are all super mature and that is something i truly admire.

  27. since i have more than one best friend id like to talk about both of them. the qualities i admire most in my best friends are that i can trust them no matter what and that they are always there for me and supports me always. they can make me laugh when I'm at my worst and know when something is wrong. they truly care about me. these are really important friends i do not want to lose. we never fight because we can never stay mad at each other it is actually impossible, we have obstacles that get in the way but we always seem to pull through. and i love that about them.
