It all boils down to one thing. Respect. Some people have it, some can even show it to others, and the select few can turn it on and off like a light switch. All I was asking for was respect. To respect me as a friend. It seems like no can respects anyone anymore. They are all hooking up or sleeping with other peoples boyfriends, they talk shit behind their friends backs and then act perfectly normal on monday morning, and even when someone, a friend, is trying to be nice they get called an "attention whore". I'm not sorry that I have respect, and that I'm not afraid to stand up for it. I don't know how you can call yourselves freinds when you write things like that. Or when you do the things you do. Obviously the term "Best Friends" is extremly distorted in that realationship. To me a Best Friend is someone who will help you through a hard time. Someone who will at least KNOW when you are having a hard time. Someone who doesn't get "hot" and "cold" on your friendship. Someone who can always be honest and truthful. Someone who will stand by your side no matter what. I thought I had friends. Turns out.. not so much. If I had known how they all felt about me, maybe I wouldn't have bothered them for so long. High School IS coming to an end and I would rather leave it with a few new friends then a group of people who don't really care. I have been hanging out with other people, mainly because I don't feel welcome with my group of friends. Not because they aren't "good enough". I have always thought that they were better than anything. But when your best friends don't call you to hang out, or are too busy it really only leaves you with two choices. Sit and wallow, or go out. Someone always has a problem with someone else, but it is rarely ever said. I don't like to live that way. If you have a problem, talk about it or at least communicate it in some way. I thought that was how the whole "Best Friends" thing worked. And when I tried that, it was a disaster. Not because it was the wrong thing to do but because it had never been done before. Something new. Confrontation. It wasn't even a big deal. But the drama of everyone else made it one. I'm not a dog, I don't come running back. "People feel uncomfortable if they can't put you in a box. And then the moment you step out of it, you're crazy." I don't think your best friend has to be someone that you have known since elementry school... I think it just has to be someone you respect, and who really respects you in return. ~Jesscia*~
