1. It’s not a good idea to flirt with your friends ex-boyfriend, and you shouldn’t let him flirt with you either. However, if you are interested in him you should talk to her about it first.2. Be there for your friend when she breaks up with her boyfriend, or gets into a fight with her parents. No matter what, binge eating and Netflix marathons must be planned!3. When your friend calls “dibs” on a certain guy, he’s off limits to you.4. Don’t stay quiet when your friend falls for the “bad guy.” Also, you’re obligated to tell her when you find out unfavorable information about a crush or boyfriend (i.e., he’s cheating, talking to another girl, lying, etc,).5. It can be annoying, but being a wing-woman is necessary at times.6. Don’t agree with your friend when she says that she’s chubby or “so fat.” She’s perfect the way she is.7. However, always be honest when a friend asks how she looks. A fashion disaster is never chic.8. Never tell the secret of a friend unless you have been given permission to share.9. Don’t steal the spotlight from your friend when she’s telling a story.10. Never ditch a friend for a guy. Also, don’t neglect a friendship during a relationship.11. Always defend your friends when you overhear someone bad-mouthing them. You’re supposed to be their biggest cheerleaders and supporters, don’t let strangers do that to them.12. Never post pictures on social media that would potentially embarrass someone.13. Don’t leave a friend behind at a party. You showed up together, you’re going to leave together. Also, if you notice a girl in the bathroom or somewhere alone at a party, be her friend. She most likely needs a little help.14. Never hate a girl that you’ve never met. You don’t actually know her, how can you hate her?15. Stop calling other girls “sluts,” “whores,” and “bitches” behind their backs or to their faces because it is not nice, and it makes it okay language for anyone to use.
