  5. Read the story below. Afterwards lets discuss what negative characteristics of friendship that are displayed in the story. Josh decided to go to Amy’s birthday party on Friday night. Josh had a crush on Amy, but so did Josh’s best friend Ben. Amy had given Josh the invitation to the party for Josh and Ben. Josh did not tell Ben about the party. Josh arrived at the party and was having a great time until Amy asked him “Hey where is Ben at?” Josh replied “I think Ben is over at Brittany’s house tonight.” “Oh” said Amy and they went about the rest of the party.

  6. Characteristics of Bad Friendship What did Josh do in this story that is very harmful to all friendships? He lied. Lying is never good in friendships. Lying will split friends apart. (Kidshealth.org) True friends are always honest with each other no matter what! Was there something else Josh did in the story? Remember when he told Amy that Ben is Brittany’s party? This is a lie that could potentially cause drama later. We all know what drama is. Its when somebody says something about somebody else that is not true. This will lead to problems down the road(Kidshealth.org). It all starts with being honest!
