We sometimes have friends and make the wrong choices which leads to us losing our friends or even our best friend. Don't be that bad friend.

Here are 10 things you shouldn't do to have a long-lasting friendship.

Ignore their calls and texts

We sometimes need someone to talk to. We mostly trust our best friends. Don't ignore your best friends calls or texts, take a few minutes a day and be an actual friend.

Pretend you care about their situation

No one wants a fake friend. Be there not because you feel that you have to but be there for her or him because you truly care about them.

Forget their birthday

You are not a true friend if you forget your best friend's birthday. Write it down.

Not being there when they need you

We go through rough times and those are the times when we need a true friend. Don't leave them alone, be there for her or him.

Gossip behind their back

Words can be hurtful and cruel, don't lose your best friend because you decided to open your mouth.

Start pointless arguments

If you know there is a topic that shouldn't be mentioned, don't talk about it. Remember it's not just about you but both of you.

Discourage them from pursuing their goals

Instead of discouraging them from pursuing their goals, push them. Good friends push each other and helpful each other to reach each other's goal.

Treat them like a friend rather than family

Be more than a friend, be family. Sometimes we need more than a friend. Many times we need a sister from another mother.

Steal, cheat or flirt on your best friend's guy

The last thing you want to do is lose your best friends and take her man away. Don't do it.

Give up after an argument

Life is too short to hold grudges,

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
