So what kind of a person are you? If you are person who likes to have lots of friends, then we need to know how to be a a good friend. The easiest and best way to be a good friend is being someone who builds the other person up. What I mean is you will need to learn and practice saying nice and positive things that make the other person feel good about themselves.
This takes lots of practice. You can practice this everyday at home with your family, in school with your friends and wherever you go. If you have an idea of something nice you can say to someone – leave some suggestions here in the comment area. I will start it off with a couple today.
When you are the type of person to build others up, you will make friends and when you have friends, you will be less likely to be bullied.

Here are a couple of examples of compliments you might make: ” I like your shirt”, “You are a good soccer player”, or “You are very friendly”. Be real with any compliment – but be sure to look for the good things in everyone. If you do not see anything good right now – don’t say anything & look harder! Everyone has something good about them!!!
