Mark was a terrible person,and he was scared of dogs
That was telling me. Now this is showing me:
Mark punched Jon in the face, sending the boy to fall back on the floor. He laughed, dusted his hands together, and swiped dirt away from his shoulders. He cocked his head back, and spat a large glob of spit on Jon's face.
"You're such a freakin' loser."
Mark turned and saw two growling pitbulls staring at him. Spittle drooled from their mouth and onto the street. To Mark, it felt as if the dogs had already ate his heart with their sharp teeth. Mark ran the other way as the dogs chased him
Not the best example, and even that can use a lot of editing. But it paints a picture of how bad this kid really is, and how the dogs scare him. There's many more examples ranging from describing your friends to saying that you had a horrible day. If you want to describe your friends, do more than just say that this person is funny, or this person is a ladies man. Show how they are such. It's okay to tell the reader that they are I suppose, but if you do, show it.
That is all I have to say. If anyone wants to add to it, go ahead.
