Hi there!
Today, I thought I thought I would tell you about some of my closest friendships ending in tragedy (just a tiny bit dramatic!)
Probably the first close friendship I
had was with a girl called Tall (not her actual name!) We first met at
pre-school and had been inseperable ever since. However, by year 6 we
had started to grow apart. Tall started making up rumours that I had
said ‘I hate Tall’. Obviously I hadn’t said this and when I asked Tall
who had told that i hated her, she wouldn’t tell me so I knew she had
made it up. However, this was not the only thing she had said and she
started getting very clingy and didn’t want me getting close to someone
else.
By the time of our week long school
trip at the end of year 6 we were even further apart. We shared the same
room but things just were not the same. The other 2 girls in the room
could see the tension between us, and in the end Tall flipped and ran
into our other friends room ‘crying’ (she wasn’t actually crying she was
just pretending!) This made the flaws in our friendship show even
clearer. After this we didn’t ever have the relationship we used to.
Nowadays I still speak to Tall but not that often and we are no where
near as close as we used to be. It is such a shame because we were like
sisters and it was quite a tough time for me loosing my first ever close
friend.
However, if my friendship with Tall
hadn’t broken up I never would have met Twin (again not her real name
(we looked very alike)) At the end of year 6 me and twin were getting
really close and were constantly round each others houses. So when
secondary school came along we were really worried that we would be
seperated. However, when we arrived on our first day to find out our
form groups neither of us could find our names, suddenly I spotted Twins
name followed by my name. We were soooo excited and pleased to be in
the same form and it was like luck because we had just got close. We
went through a period of having a sleepover every single Friday night
for about a year. It was amazing and we were pretty much inseperable.
By year 8 my friend Short came along.
Me, Twin and Short was soo close however, I knew me and Twin were still
the closest. For a while Short started going of with other people and
turned her back on us for a little while. However, by year 9 she was
back with us and we were getting closer. But, in year 9 I realised that
Twin and Short kept going of without me, going out without me and other
small things that really upset me. Then they started keeping secrets
from me which really got in my nerves.
Now seems like the perfect time to
introduce you to The Boys, simply a group of boys who we sat with who we
were friends with from primary school. We got really close with them
and always had a good laugh (NO we were not ‘in love’.) However, they
are kind of the reason why I grew away from the firendship group. Twin
and Short got even closer and were even going on holiday with eachother
and lying to me saying they were busy everyday. This really upset me and
I literally had sleepless nights. Nowadays I still bike to school with
Twin and Short and we have small conversations if I am in there lessons
however, Short seems to make Twin act different when they are together.
me and Twin still get on when Short is not there because Twin is as she
used to be and not mean/nasty. Luckily in year 8 and 9 I began to make
friends with Sis…
So when I had completly had enough of
twin, Short and the Boys I hung around with Sis. Since then we are
always texting, skyping etc. I am with her all the time at school and we
are inseperable. We can always rely on eachother with our problems and
secrets. Me and Sis are great friends now and things actually turned out
ok. Me and Twin are still friends just not as close as me and Sis
however, of course I have other friends and who knows who I will be
close with in ten years…
Basically, we grow up thinking that one person is our ‘best friend’
however, in a couple of years that person could be completly different.
We become friends with people who are like us with the same interest
etc, however, people change and that means friendships change and its ok
to have new friends.
I would really like to hear some of your friendship fallouts and how
you have carried on through them and made new friends. Be sure to leave
them in the comments below!
