My friends are the greatest! I think the reason we get along so well is because we have so much in common. I mean, we might like different music or clothes... but when it comes to things that matter most - like sex before marriage - we all agree it's best to wait. My biggest advice to kids my age is to find like-minded friends who can help encourage you to keep your goals on track.

Below are my top five qualities I look for when choosing my friends. See if you agree with me!

Chelsea's top five qualities in a friend

Can be comfortable being who they are and not act like someone they're not;
Always remains respectful to you, even when you disagree on things;
Isn't quick to gossip or spread rumors about others;
Can joke around and have fun, but knows you well enough to back off;
Someone who listens more than they talk!
