Hard To Find
Share This Essay:
Is it hard to find friends that are right for you? In my life right now it’s hard to find good friends.
I know that is hard to find new friends, but I think I have found them.
My friends are good friends because when I started to hang out with them they told me that they were not into starting drama, which means they went to be calm and quiet. I believe that good friends are hard to find.
I learned that by what happened to me. When I was 5th grade, I would always hang out with my friends. Then in 6th grade my friends started to spread rumors that I thought I was popular from the whole 6th grade.
That’s when the drama started with us. The 6th grade came up to me saying “ you going to get jump!” for saying that she always want to steal friends from people or students. I got frustrated scared, annoyed, and angry.
I’ve learned that I need to be responsible of what I do and who is a good person to hang out with and this made me feel happy, confident and responsible.
When I make decision now I need to talk to my friends and know how my friends are. I know how they are because how I said that I need to talk to them so I did.
I expect that my friends need to know that im out of the drama which means I don’t want to have problems anymore. What will you do if this happened to you?
This is a hard decision to make for your life. If you want a good life or a bad future.
Now in my life, I learned that friendship can have lots of drama but good friends can make it through your life.
