This post is written in response to a "friend's frustration and confusion"

All I can say to u girl for now is - that people do change for the better and for the worse... Always keep that in mind. Whether it works out to be in favour of us or not doesn't depend entirely on us.

The most we can do is try our best to turn the situation around rationally to the best we can and whatever happens happens. Acting irrationally or on intuition isn't the best way to go about solving a problem because it might backfire instead.

So in relation to "that good friend" who befriended a " clearly lost and confused" kid, what exactly can u possibly do to stop that "friendship"? You can't be saying to her :" If she is your friend, then I am not your friend anymore." (an example of being irrational). Nor do u have the right to decide who she befriends. Am I right?

If she however then insist that she is doing the right thing despite all evidence directing otherwise, u can decide what is your next step. By right thing I mean puffing(u know what I mean), skipping classes, attitude problem, arrogant, bitchy.... I shall not continue on.

I shall let u think about it from here on. You are obviously mature enough to comprehend.

Advice from someone who went through high school thus experiencing all the possible bimbo-ness, bitchi-ness and back-stabbing one can ever come across. Humans are naturally greedy and seek ownership of anything that appeals to them immediately. In high school for example: would be striking out as the popular and cool one by involving themselves in all kinds of improper activities.

Speaking from personal experience, your closest friend can also be your worse enemy (relating back to the incident in Form 4) and somehow or rather, unexpectedly, you'll discover that this is the best opportunity to distinguish the true friends from the fake friends. The ones that stand by your side no matter what happens and believe in you are your true friends. All otherwise are fakes.
