TO BE A GOOD FRIEND

A good friend listens to you and gives you advice. He** is also able to keep your secrets and be honest, understand when you are angry, not be possessive, let you be yourself, not tell heavy jokes that bother you, not be jealous of your successes and love you for both the good and the bad.

Sometimes best friends argue. Once, I argued with a friend. We used to go out together, go shopping, eat out and study. However, she met a boy and we stopped spending so much time together. I was jealous and I wanted her to break up with him. I argued with my friend every day and we were both very sad. One day we decided to talk to repair our friendship. I admitted that I had not been a good friend but that I felt lonely. And I apologized to her. I told her that I missed her and that I needed to go out with her and do things like before. She also told me that she had missed me and that she would spend three afternoons a week with me to go shopping, listen to music or study. This way, we would be in contact and not lose our friendship.

Personally, I believe that family is important. However, friends are the family we choose. Friends bring you happiness and support in difficult times. When you are with friends you forget about stress and you are a positive person. On the other hand, when you are with the family, everything can be monotonous and sometimes stressful when you start talking about family problems. This can negatively affect your health.

In conclusion, your family will always be a great support system, but your friends will also be your support system. They will also bring you happy and stress-free moments and will make your life healthy.

*not technically wrong, but I probably wouldn't describe friendship as a feeling

**if this is not formal writing, it would be more common to say "they"

Note: A common issue in here was run-ons. Try to break up long sentences into multiple shorter sentences to make your writing clearer.
