Freinds? HEll no. I dont even know youuu!
We all arent alone in this world. We mostly tend to surround ourselves with people who are just like us. Who believe in the same values, or want the same goals. Sometimes personalitties clash, and sometimes they make you stronger and a force to be wreckoned with. However, can you realy tell who are your real friends or not? Or tell what their in it for? Some friends are loyal, but others just really suck.
I have about 100 aquaintences but only like 6 true friends. I can trust them with anything and im sure they can hold me down whenever. Their so close to me that I even call them my family. Each of my friends bring something different to the table. Some are the ones with the good advice, others are the ones constantly seeking advice, then there are the ones whos house you can come over to anytime of the week unannounced.
You know people are your true freidns or "family" when you can go to their house and call their parents mom and dad and not feel a certain way about it. I do that all the time. Most of my close friends family accept me. Infact one of my dear freinds, her family is always inviting me to family functions and would even like me to attend some weddings. It makes me feel good. As for some of my other friends, I actually havnt met their parents, but im sure if I meet them they would like me just the same. Im agood person, well driven and have my own set of rules to follow. Even though I live life to the fullest, I do it in the most legal way possible.
I actually recently dropped one girl that I use to call my sister from actually being my sister. She use to be really loyal, but now that shes getting this big ego its starting to tick me off. Shes starting to do things that a real friend should never do. Shes changed since junior high. Changed for the worst. Ive actually been by her side on many occasions and tried to talk her through her dumb mistakes. Some how it still doesnt get through to her, because to this day she is still doing the BS that she has been doing. I havent told her i dropped her yet because im trying to see if maybe shel come around. However, it looks like she wont be changing any time soon. Kinda sad.
When I go to college I want to see how loyal people realy are, because those are the people who will make or break you. Im ready for the experience. I want to see how loyal people will really be. Like my dorm mates even. I dont want any of them stealing anything from me. I want to be able to make a connection with them and a bond that will enable us to trust each other. I am going to go there with an open mind and positivity, however, if a person shows one sign of misloyalty thats it. Im never trusting them again.
You can give a "friend" second chances after second chances, in the end, if they dont change its about damn time you dropped them. You shouldnt surround your self with people who will bring you down or even stop your goals from coming true. They should be on your level of dreams. They should want as much success as you and as much positivity as you. If not, your only setting yourself up to go backwards. BAckwards enough to actually stop what your doing to baby sit them in their lives decisions. Im not saying you cant help them, however, im saying dont let them run your life.

Dear Lynise, I strongly
Dear Lynise,
I strongly agree with you! I guess I also have lots of "friends", but actually only very few are really close or can be called "real friends". I also believe that a real friend should be someone that you can trust and be trusted. However, one day during the last three years in this school, I found out the one I considered one of my best friends was being disloyal to me. It was a really long story. I'm not saying everything I did in the past regarding our friendship was absolutely right, but at least I was always loyal to her and trusting her for everything. Yet it turned out that she didn't even trust me for very little things and was lying to me from the very begining and spreading rumors about me all around among her friends.
I agree with you that "in the end, if they dont change its about damn time you dropped them." Actually I've already dropped that "friend" because I've already given her lots of chances, but I found out from my other friends she just kept telling more lies.
I'm also ready to experience more when I go to college. I think maybe in college there will be less immature people around so that there will be less boring dramas happening in our lives. In fact, I'm sure when some people look back after several years, they will definitely think their behaviors were really childish.
Thank you for sharing your opinions.

I really like this because
I really like this because its true. Finding good friends that you can trust is a hard task. I didnt find my best friend now until the end of junior year. The fact that it took that long disapoints me but to have the friends I have now are the greatest. I almost feel like the fact that we werent friends forever is a good thing. It means that were still getting to know each other. That every day is a new day to discover something new about who they are. About the way they act in certain situations and in life.
Getting rid of old friends that have now changed can sometimes be a good thing as well. Purging yourself of their negative energy is always the best way to move on. Since changing friends I feel like I can be myself a lot more and that I can leave the silly drama behind. Who needs it. Whats the point of wasting time on someone who is not worth it.
Dear Lynise,
Dear Lynise,
Heyyy girl heyyyyyy. Just kidding. I totally agree wtih your post. I mean, you can make as many friends as you want in one day, but only 1 out of those friends will be true and loyal to you. Sometimes, your best friend, whom you trust and is confident they will be loyal to you, will turn on you unexpectantly. People change, and that is a fact. That is what happened to me. My friend, Jody, whom I've known for about 6 years, has recently stopped speaking to me. After she found a new boyfriend, it is as if I mean nothing to her at all. Back then, she used to call, text, and aim me everyday. Now, nothing. It's sad to know that theres really no one you could trust, except for yourself. I try not to put myself in this position anymore, praying that i won't fall and scrape my knees again.
Dear ljames I kinda agree
Dear ljames
I kinda agree with your post "Freinds? HEll no. I dont even know youuu!" because some of the views i totaly agree with you and some i have unclear fealings about and some i totally don't agree with you on.
One sentence that you wrote that stands out for me is " You can give a "friend" second chances" do you really think that the second chance you give them is fully a forgive and forget situation ?? because when i give a friend a second chance i still doubt them a little bit and i put a sheild up to protect my self.
another sentence that i like "However, it looks like she wont be changing any time soon" how do you really know she won't change cold turkey or notice it her self that she needs to. People need to work on there self analyzing skills for them to be more effective in life
Thanks for the post, it was
Thanks for the post, it was interesting to read. I believe that you can't ever call someone your "best friend forever" because freinds| people in your life come and go, yes its sad but what can you do? I know i call many people my best freinds and what i truly mean when i say your my best freind is... well let me give you my defenition on bestfreinds.
Best Friends: some one who is always there for you; you can tell them anything you want and know they won't gudge you; you can tell them a secret and know they won't tell others; they will always keep contact with you; you can hang out with them a couple of time; you can connect with them; they won't ever backstab you or ditch you; they will be there for you and tell you whats right from wrong; they won't ever hurt your feelings; they won't start rumors about you and yeah you get my point.
So thats what i actually call a best freind and i concider them all as my family because thats what family should do which i know most don't. ( mine xD ) haha, anyways when you do find a "best friend" and then something goes wrong you are upset of course and then a fight happens saying on how much you hate them or how they were never your freinds but when you truly do know you still love them because you can't forget the memmories you had with that person.
Sometimes people change like you said and most of the time its a bad thing. If they do change and leave you then it was meant to happen. Things do happen for a reason and you know you don't want them to but you can't do anything to stop it. If they change get over it and don't start a big problem telling them: " wow why did you change? your a back staber! you ditched me like that? how could you?" and yeah.
Well my point is that if you call someone your "best freind" make sure there exactly what you want as a freind and know they won't ever hurt you, and if they do there not worth being there for you and being in your life.
Thank you x] byeeee
