Are Your Friends Good Friends

Quiz: Are Your Friends Good Friends?

Navigating the social aspects of being a teenager can be complicated and confusing. Sometimes, you think people are your friends, only to find out they've been acting less like friends and more like adversaries. One minute they're being nice and friendly and everything seems great, then something happens to make you question the entire friendship. At times, it can be crazy making, where you actually begin to doubt and question yourself and everything else, too. Don't fall into this trap. Take this quiz to find out if your friends are really your friends, or if it might be time to re-evaluate these relationships.
1. When you decide to try something new, whether it’s trying out for the school play, running for student council, or playing a new sport, a BAD friend would react the following way:
Both 1 and 2 are signs of a good friend. Good friends are supportive and encouraging, and rally around each other rooting for each other’s success. People who feel threatened by your success or happiness will try to undermine you, while hoping you fail, so that they can feel better about themselves and better than you. That is not what friendship is about.

2. You're at a party with your friends, and alcohol and drugs are available. Your friends know that you do not use drugs or alcohol. A true friend does what?
The correct answer is 2. Good friends honor and respect one another, even when they don’t have the same opinions about things. A good friend never tries to make you do something you don’t want to do.

3. You've just confessed to your friend that you have a crush on someone. A good friend reacts by:
The correct answer is 3. Blabbing your personal business all over school is childish and obnoxious. A good friend will respect your privacy. And unless the person you like is really a bad person who has done really bad things, your friends should be totally supportive of whomever you choose to like, even if they don’t agree. After all, it would really suck if everyone liked the same people. A really good friend will even try to help you figure out how to make that crush become a reality.

#1 is the correct answer. Knowing about something wrong and doing nothing is almost as bad as participating. Standing up for you is noble, but not always enough.
