NICE FRIEND- 20-24 points Every girl needs a friend like you. Keep loving on your friends. Though no one is perfect, aim for true friendship.

NEUTRAL FRIEND - 14-19 points
You’re not necessarily eligible for an award, but you’re also not the worst friend in the world either. Seek to love tirelessly in difficult situations instead of putting in minimum effort when times get tough. Pray that God will give you the capability to truly live Proverbs 17:17 out, “A friend loves at all times.”

NAUGHTY FRIEND- 8-13 points

Pray for selflessness in your relationships and look for ways to put your friends first. Also, realize that by not being a true friend to others, you risk losing the friendship of those who want to be your true friend. Proverbs 18:24 says, “A man who has friends must himself be friendly…”
