Hey! So I know I haven’t written a blog in a while, but life is crazy busy.
One thing about 7th grade that most teens have trouble with are friendship, at least at my school. There’s always these groups of friends. It happens more to girls that I see than boys.
There can be a big group of best friends, but at least two of them just wish they could find other friends. But who? A group of three, at least one isn’t happy. Group of four, two are always together the other two get jealous and are forced to be together. Then you mostly skip 5, 6, and 7 and go straight to like a group of eight. The group of eight, half of them only stay with the group to get popular. Being friends with someone just to get popular, isn’t worth your time.
You can be friends with someone for four years and then boom, middle school hits and you break away. Why? Because they or you go find girls to get an image and keep with that image because everyone loves you then. Going out and buying the best thing popular and having everyone being your “friend” is stupid. I know that can be easy to do, but you can’t do that because as you get older life isn’t about an image it’s about being yourself, your true self.
Think about it, would you rather be super popular and have fake friends to get through school and be depressed later, or would you rather have a group of true friends that help you through hard times and grow up being positive? You shouldn’t go through middle school and high school, thinking that you’re not good enough for people, you have to be positive about who you are because then people will most of the time will do the same.
One of the best feelings in life is having a best friend. If that doesn’t work out for you, be yourself and positive and just get through life as great as possible because you can do anything you put your mind to. Don’t be friends with someone to just barely make it, because then you break.
Be happy and positive and keep an open mind about people. You can be best friends with the last person you expected to be friends with. Those friendships are mostly the best kind of friendship you could ever have!!
FRIENDSHIPS ARE HARD BUT BEING YOURSELF MAKES IT EASY.
LIFE ISN’T ABOUT AN IMAGE, IT’S ABOUT BEING YOURSELF. BE YOUR TRUE SELF!
Hope you have a great day and feel good about your true self after reading my blog!
Please leave a comment and tell me about your friendships. Also give me some ideas you would like me to write my next blog about for teens.
