Loyalty is probably one of the most important things in a friendship, but what exactly does it mean? To me, being loyal to a friend means always sticking up for them, trusting them, and never throwing them under the bus or talking about them to someone else.
When you are best friends someone, you should have their back no matter what. If they are wrong in a situation, you let them know that they are wrong, you make sure they learn their lesson, and you don't let them ever think they are right when they clearly aren't. However, when it comes to other people talking about them being wrong or doing something negative, you defend them until the death. A best friend should never judge another best friend's actions. Part of being loyal is always supporting your friend, even when they are wrong.
Never do anything to put yourself in a bad position, and if a friend is getting into something that is so negative to the point that it is interfering with your own life, back off. Of course, let your friend know they are wrong for what ever they are doing, and let them know that if they continue to make the same mistake, you will remove yourself from the situation.
Like I said, loyalty is one of the most important aspects of a friendship, so if you intend on keeping a best friend, be loyal to them. When someone notices your loyalty, more often than not, they will reciprocate that loyalty.
