Writing Prompt #3 - Due January 25

What characteristics do you value most in a friend? Explain why they are important.

To me the most important characteristics would be loyalty, honesty and a sense of humor.  Loyalty is important because a friend is supposed to always have your back.  They're the ones who are supposed to be on your side, even if no one else is, even if everything else is against you.  Honesty is important because you need to be able to trust what your friends say.  Why would you want to be friends with someone who would always lie to you?  To me honesty goes with loyalty because if they have your back, they will also be willing to always tell you the truth.  Even when it may hurt.  A good friend will be the one to tell you things you may not want to hear, but who will be there next to you through it all.  Finally, a sense of humor is important to me.  I'm not a comic or hysterical or anything, but I do have a sense of humor and I like someone who can make me laugh.  Along with the sense of humor, they would have to understand sarcasm.  That's just who I am - that's part of my sense of humor and if they don't understand sarcasm, we probably wouldn't be friends for very long because they would always get mad about something I said.
