I'll Be There For You!(F.R.I.E.N.D.S)
The Future Friends!
Blogging again.... Today was a fine day... we had a national day celebration, which was cocking n boring... Since nothing juicy to entertain you, I will come up with a discussive writing as this might aid in my 'O' Level English Exams. Here it goes... Titled Friends!
"Lisa, why don't you hang out with Tracy anymore?" asked a friend.
"Would you hang out with someone or a best friend who is dating your ex, copies your style, clothes, accent and even the way you laugh?" replied Lisa.
"I guess not," admitted the friend.
"Would you want to hang out with someone for whom, no matter what you did for her, was never enough? Would you want to hang out with someone who talks behind your back?" Lisa continued.
"No way," agreed the friend.
"Neither did Lisa," replied Tracy.

No one wants to be the centre of "dis-attraction". Even the most quiet, unpopular person will one day bloom at the centre stage where a sea of faces stare at the gorgeous you and may probably give a standing innovation to rile up all the ego deep inside. However, are we trying too hard to be infront of the crowd first? Or are we just growing up too fast?
As teenagers, many of us suffer this fate of changing too fast to adapt to the characters of our friends or to be the most popular person. From my point of view, I think this is rather a big Waste of time(with a capital W). I may have been a victim of this but what difference does it make to change to someone who you have always dreamt of? Popularity is always short term. The long-term issue here is, are we going to still have the same group of friends who we spend our boring Friday nights with? We are all on the verge of becoming the matured independent adults of the world. Due to this process of growing up too fast, we tend to lose the ones we love and become our worst nightmares without us realizing it. People do not see each other for who they are but for what they are. Therefore, old friends get driven away and the new ones get drawn into the picture.
Friends are driven away from each other merely due to the fact that they are jealous of each other. From my perspective, I would agree to a certain extent. This is especially so for females. They tend to realize every detail of a person rather than the person at a whole. As a result, they get jealous that her other friend has the latest Von Dutch bag, etc.
On the other hand, old friends get driven away from each other also due to relationships. A similar case as the extract above has occurred with some of my friends. The results are, lost of best friends and the biggest jerks are the couple. They may not realize it but they look like one(couple of jerks)(sounds cool!). These are the effects of the fast paced growing up. So, are you a victim of these problems?
