Everyone always told me that your best friend in the beginning of high school will not be your best friend by the time you graduated, I never believed that. We had a friendship so solid that I knew we’d be friends forever. Looking back now, I was proved extremely wrong. One hard time I faced in my life was removing a toxic person I called my “best friend” from my life.
We became friends in the 3rd grade, when life was easy and we did not have serious life issues. She moved away and we gradually stopped talking. Then eventually 8th grade came and it was like she never left. We became closer than ever and ultimately spent every day together. We eventually got to high school where we attended the same vocational school and picked the same shop.

Gaining friends who actually cared about, I became happier. I realized my self-worth and how much I could achieve in life. As of now, my behavior is also completely different. When I see behavior like she had, I won’t continue a friendship. Reminding myself that having a friend who hurts people for their own benefit is now what I need in the most important parts of my life. Another way I also behave differently is when my other friends encounter relationships like this. Telling them my story, I hope they cut off their toxic friendship like I did because I would never want anyone to have a friend that made them uncomfortable in their own skin like she did.
Nevertheless, we are civil. She still talks about me from time to time. Asking how I even made it into college or mocking my major. She even still questions my personal relationship with my boyfriend. Looking back now, I know why she was hurtful and it makes me realize now why people are hurtful. Lack of self-confidence or even jealously. All in all, I’m greatful this experience happened. It made me grow as a persons and find out who I am without someone else influencing me. This is one tough experience in life that changed who I am
I once had a friend named, Kailee. She was actually my best friend all through junior high, and partially through high school. She was someone I could trust, and someone I could always have a good time with. She currently lives in my hometown, Sioux Falls, and shares the same interests as I do: traveling, fashion, makeup. She was like a sister to me, until our relationship became more costly than
When going into high school the same friends you have in freshmen year aren’t the same in senior year. Strong Friendship is always hard to get, I knew who my real friends were after every year in high school ended. By the end of my senior year I had almost all the same friends except for three or four. But there was this one girl who stayed and she been my best friend since then we have had tough time and we have broken up but we always come back to each other. During the break ups I never treated anybody special like I did with her somehow I knew she was going to come back. The theme was always in my life and it showed me that not all my good friends are going to stay but when you have a best friend they’re always going to be
In the best –selling novel the Maze Runner, James Dashner has developed many meaningful and complex themes. From all these various themes, I believe the main motive and message of the story is how friendship can help us pass the hurdles and obstacles in life and help us achieve success. The novel, the Maze Runner displays tremendous amounts of friendship and strong bonds between characters in the society. The novel written by James Dashner demonstrates the importance of friendship in life. In the Maze Runner strong bonds and exceptional friendship were created in many events, but the relation between Chuck and Thomas, the bond between Teresa and Thomas and the relations amongst all the Gladers working together showed a really deep meaning of companionship. These relationships are what allowed them to collectively pass the hard obstacles in their way and obtain their ambition.
Then on January 18th we started texting about our issues. My friend had not been very nice lately, and she had changed since she was my buddy in crime in elementary school. So, we started texting about our issues. I was about to send the text, “Gtg”, and go downstairs for dinner, when she sent a text saying, “I don’t think we should be best friends anymore.” As soon as the text lit up on my phone screen, I started sobbing. I was heartbroken, destroyed, and most of all, disappointed. My best friend since 2nd grade had told me she didn’t want to be my best friend anymore, and ever since then, it really did feel like that. I was lucky if I ever felt that we were just acquaintances. This text devastated me. In most situation, if you make a friend in early elementary school, usually you’re friends and you stay friends forever, and get closer year by year. But, in my case, that fate did not happen. My best friend turned around on me and said she didn’t want to be my best friend anymore. So I realized that even though friends can promise things, you never know what will happen to a friendship five years in the future, but if friends are loyal to you, a friendship could last a
This toxic friendship was very discouraging; I began to wonder if I was boring or talked about myself too much. Then, I decided to distance myself to see if the friendship would go back to normal; it did not make a difference.
My friends are very important to me and without them I do not think I would be where I am today. My second real friendship began in the middle of my freshman year of high school. I had been introduced to someone who later became one of my two best friends, Michelle Zabuska, by someone in my Theater class. Some time later, as a result to a major fight caused by a mutual friend of ours, I realized that I had to be careful with whom I trusted. It was Michelle who pointed out a quote from one of our favorite television shows, Felicity, that I realized she was my true friend in every aspect of the word. I started to look at my...
Nowadays I barely see her. We both grew up, she’s married with kids and I’m close to graduating high school. It’s crazy how time flies.
many people personally told me that people change for the better or the worse during high school, but i never believed it was true. looking back on my high school years i noticed that what they said was actually accurate. it all seemed strange to me at first because i 'm not the type of person who lies and manipulates others to become someone 's friend. but within those four years i became aware of how quickly people can switch up and change. like how the person i thought i knew acting completely different. but many others were, so i realized that my biggest mistake in high school was letting friendship change my actions and get to me.
I met her in the autumn right after she had taken a terrible fall going to her mailbox and I was hired by her family as an in home aide. Her name was Jane* and she became a fast friend and provided me with never to be forgotten lessons that cant be taught within the walls of a school. Jane took the time to prove to me that I was worth loving and showed me unconditional love that at the time I couldn’t find. In the end all I have left are a few cherished memories, a pearl necklace, and some of the best lessons in life.
I "forgave" her and we continued to hang out. The next week she says my suggestions aren't what she wanted to play/do and tells my friends her suggestions, and the worst part was they agreed with her about me! I wanted to leave and I needed new friends. I shouldn't stay in a friendship that made me frustrated, but when I tried to break away they told me couldn't until I told them what was wrong. Even though I already told them, I repeated myself. They talked me into staying,even though I didn't want to, and I continued in the friend group for a year. In 6th grade it got worse, I still hated her and we got into arguments all the time. I never wanted to stay in 5th grade, but she said I had to be friends with her. I
Friendship is a relationship that all the individuals can create by themselves. Though it is not a god gifted relationship like that of the relationship of a mother, father, sister, brother or any of the other family but still it is one of the best relations an individual can possess. People who have true friends consider themselves as the luckiest individuals on earth.
I met my two best friends through my club and high school teams. The first one, Candace, I met in 8th grade at the club volleyball Halloween party where she was Cookie Monster and I was a zombie volleyball player. We hit it off from there, but we did not become close friends until our first tournament where our moms had planned for us to all share a hotel room. Until then, we had just been teammates, but that first tournament changed my life. We found that we were meant to be best friends and we became inseparable. Her family also had a major impact on my life because they became my second family and I became their second daughter. My second-best friend, Tori, I met during the summer before my 9th grade year. My high school volleyball coach, Putman, introduced us to each other because we were the only freshmen there. While it was awkward at first since we were both new to high school, we very quickly became friends. We were the only two freshmen to make the Junior Varsity team, so we became very comfortable with each other since we were afraid of the upperclassmen. After the highs school season, she joined my travel club team and that is where became the closest we had ever been. I had my two best friends on my club team, and those two girls taught me so much about what it takes to have a healthy friendship. If not for volleyball I would have never met them, and my life would
I took a long, hard look at the people around me and figured out what their good attributes were and why they were significant in my life. When I figured out who they were as people and what they could give as a friend, versus what I needed as a friend, I made my decision. It wasn’t a decision that was said out loud or one that was publicized. I just directed my energy towards the people who needed my friendship in return for the friendship they had shown me. When I realized who was a true friend and who was not, it hurt. There was a lot of pain, knowing somebody didn’t care as much about me and my well=being as I had wanted them to. It wasn’t until later, that I realized they could still be in my life, just not as much involved it as they once
Friendships are one of the most important things you can get out of life. It’s something that everyone has to have because without it we would all go insane. Just think if no one talked to each other and we never made friends, this world would be a ticking time bomb. Studies say human need friendships and love to survive. So friendship is a big part of your life.
Life is strange. I never thought that I would consider my one time enemy, my "best" friend. The first time I met my best friend was in the sixth grade. We both played on the same youth basketball team. We were both arrogant and bratty kids, who thought that the world revolved around us. With that much personality, problems were bound to happen. We made fun of each other and occasionally got into scuffles. Fortunately like all humans, we grew up and found a common bond that grew into a friendship.
