A true friend is honest and trustworthy, they keep secrets, won't gossip about you or with you (If someone is gossiping about you, will your friend step in and put a stop to it?). Do they tell the truth? If they lie to you or about you, they are not a true friend. At the same time, however, a true friend will always look out for you. If you ask a friend to keep something that's harmful a secret,(like drug use or stealing), they may tell somebody in an attempt to get you help that's not betrayal, that's caring. Good friends are good listeners (do they listen to you or only talk about themselves?),loyal (are they still your friend when you're sick or out of money?)They are available when you really need them. They are supportive (will never make you do something that goes against your moral beliefs)
If your friend has these qualities, you know you have found someone who is a true friend. Be a good friend to this person, and you'll benefit from this friendship for many years to come.
