1: A TRUE FRIEND IS LOYAL
A friend who is loyal is resolved to always stand by you.He/she is not a chameleon who changes or switch sides when you are in trouble or make a mistake.There has been a situation whereby a friend blames a mistake on his friend after they commit an offence together am speaking from experience it happened to me.

True friends are not phony,they show you who they really are,they do not pretend to be your friend,they don't slander about you.True friend are trustworthy,you have probably heard people say “I don't trust my friend,but he is my friend”,fake friends tend to lie and take advantage of their friend.They do not deceive you to make themselves seem more successful,stronger or better than you are.

Fair-weather friends are with you when things are successful and going well,if things go wrong they move on to the next happy and successful person.contrary to a real friend a true friend stays with you throughour all those traumas,disappoinments,mental health crises,and physical illness.little wonder the Bible said that a true friend shows love at all times and is a brother who is born for times of distress,a true friend who understands your troubles is far more valuable than a hundred friends who only show up for your smiles.BEWARE OF FAKE FRIENDS
