10 Friendship commandments as stated by Creme

Thou shall always remember their birthday
Sometime friendships are about the big moments - how you react when they're going through tough times, how you handle your first fight, how she picks you up when you are at you lowest point - and sometimes it's about the little moments. Remembering your bestie's birthday or another important dates shows that you pay attention to her life and you're thinking about her. Those are the kind of little details that can make a big difference.

Thou shalt never be a fair-weathered friend

A fair-weathered friend is someone who sticks by yourside when things are going well for you but mysteriously disappears whenever you are going through troubling times. You don't ever want to be this kind of friend. Friendship isn't always fun and easy, sometimes it's sticking with someone when they feel like the rest of the world is abandoning them and being there to brighten their world.

Thou shalt bring cheer to a best friend's life

At the end of the day, the two biggest things you want from a friend is:

a) Someone who is unfailingly kind and

b) someone who makes you laugh so much you snort water though your nose.

If you've got a friend who excels in both of those categories, grab onto them and never let go!

Thou shalt indulge thy friend's never-going-to-happen crush

So, your friend is in love with Glee's Cory Monteith and 100% convinced the two of them belong together. There comes a certain point in Crush Land where logic no longer applies and in this case it's best you just nod and agree. There's no harm indulging her.

Thou shalt never date their ex-boyfriends

You can say, "It's ok, I've asked her and she says it's fine," until you're blue in the face, but you know what? It's rarely, if ever, ok to date your bestie's ex-boyfriend and chances are, she's totally not okay with it. At best it's going to be awkward at its worst, it's going to make you look disloyal. Move on, and find someone else!

Thou shalt always keep in contact

If you've moved away from your bestie or if she's gone to a different school, it can seem all too hard to maintain your super-close friendship now that there's a distance between you. No,no and no! Technology has made keeping in contact easier than ever, so don't get lazy and start drifting apart. Make your friendship a priority and get creative - remember the awesome times you had together and always make an effort to stay in touch.

Thou shalt never talk behind their back

Loyalty is the most important qualities a friend can have, but it's one of the rarest out there. One easy way to work out if what you are saying is appropiate? Ask yourself if you'd be comfertable saying it about her if she was standing next to you. If the answer is no, either rephase or let it go!

Thou shalt always let them know you love them

Don't ever put your friends in a position where they have to question how you feel about them. They should always know how much you love spending time with them and how much fun you have when they're around. Feeling like you're been taken for granted can kill a friendship pretty fast, so never miss an opportunity to tell your bestie how lucky you feel to have her.

Thou shalt be honest when it matters

There are certain situations where honesty is defiantly the best policy. It may not always be what your bestie wants to hear, but part of your BFF job description is to stop them from doing things that you know are going to end badly. Whether she likes it or not, she's still going to valu your opinion and if she's doing something wrong or acting in a way that's going to hurt her, make yourself heard. As Dumbledore says, "There are all kinds of courage. It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends."

Thou shall never let a boy come between you

Both of you liking the same boy or you neglecting your bestie because your new boyfriend are pretty awful situations, and too many friendships end over a boy. There are plenty of fish in the sea, so why risk ruining your friendship over some guy? Boyfriends will come and go but best friends are forever - learn those words and live by them!
