A friend should have lots of qualities to be considered as a good and reliable one; but all mentioned qualities can be put into these three categories: honesty, care, and morality.
the qualities of the first group are all related to honesty. for instance, an honest friend never tells you lies and always mentions your mistakes as well as your good qualities without humiliating you; moreover, he/she tells you when he/she gets angry at you instead of backbiting you. All the qualities of the second group have sth in common that is your friend should care about you.your real friends help you if you are in trouble and sympathize you if your are unhappy. Finally, the last group's qualities show your friend's morality. for example, your friend never releaves your secrets. So whenever you wanted to assess your friend make sure you have considered all these qualities.
