Being a “good boy” can mean different things depending on the context—whether you're joking, being sincere, or looking for personal growth. But assuming you're being genuine and want to be a good person who's respected, kind, and dependable, here are some core principles: 1. Be Kind Treat others with respect, even when they don't agree with you. Practice empathy—try to understand what others are feeling. Help people when you can, even in small ways. 2. Be Honest Tell the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. Be real with yourself and others—don't pretend to be someone you're not. 3. Be Responsible Own your mistakes. Don't blame others when things go wrong. Follow through on your promises. Take care of your health, your environment, and your relationships.
