You've never heard of someone who doesn't like this dude. He's friendly with the whole school – from Andy the anti-social band geek to Caleb the hockey captain – this guy goes out of his way for everyone. This sweet 'n' sensitive stud will offer you his shoulder to cry on, and his awesome advice. If you're upset he'll let you just spill.

Since he's so in the know, think of this guy as your personal love guru. He's your own private window into the almost-impossible to decipher innerworkings of the guy brain. This dude knows all the answers to your most pressing qs. Like...why are guys SO into Sunday football? And don't they ever get tired of drooling over that blonde lifeguard? What was that dude in your math class thinking when he signed your yearbook with XOXO?


Guys know what other guys are thinking (duh!), so he's down for decoding all your dude dilemmas. He'll have insight that you and your girls could never even imagine. Bonus about this relationship? You'll be able to return the favor by helping him with his girl gripes.

The Big Bro

This dude's a hard one to spot. On the outside this guy looks way tough. His "Bad-boy" disguise might include ripped jeans and a black concert tee. But underneath all that is a totally sweet-guy interior. Once you've cracked his rough-around-the-edges shell, you've got a loyal pal for life.


Why he's the best BGF

He's always got your back (newsflash: not in a "I-wanna-be-your-BF"-sort of way!), and looks out for you. Are mean girls picking you apart in math? This dude will give them an earful next time they're talking smack behind your back. Is your ex spreading rude rumors? No worries, this guy will nix the naysayer for you, ASAP.


He's also totally trustworthy and you know he won't accidentally let it slip to the whole school that you're still sleeping with Mr. Teddy (Shh!). Best of all, he doesn't find you the least bit dorky...the way your actual older brother does.


The Complete Comedian

He's the classic class clown. He made the whole class laugh about the crazy sub you had in science. And his April Fool's pranks are always an event. Hey, he can even make you LOL even when you just failed a French test!


Why he's the best BGF

You can't help but smile any time you're around this guy. Super stressed about school? He's sure to have you in stitches in seconds! Mad at your mom? This dude will distract you ASAP with an arsenal of comedy-movie one-liners. You hear one of his hilarious jokes and it's an insta-mood boost.


Plus, if the drama with your girls gets to be too much, this guy gives you some much-needed comic relief. His LOL, way-laid back way of life is a great reminder to take it easy, and not to sweet the small stuff. There's no doubt about it: with him, laughter is definitely the best medicine.

His hand shoots up first to answer (correctly, of course) all of the hardest qs in Spanish class. You know he def has a 98 average in Computers. And his proj won first place...in the STATE at the science fair. You can always catch him after school studying in the library or making plans to play an Xbox tourney with his pals.

This stud is super smart. He'll help you with your homework, make flash cards for your math class AND he won't mind tutoring you in bio (hey, he IS thinking about being a doc one day!).


Plus, he's totally techie...and loves to tell you all about it. This guy's got the 411 on all the latest gadgets. One of the biggest bonuses about landing him as a BGF? He's well-versed in video games. Guitar Hero, anyone?
