i believe friendship changes your outlook on life
I believe that friendship shapes your outlook on life. When I was young I didn’t care what I wore, I just wanted to have fun and laugh. I had many great times sitting with my dad and he would keep me laughing for hours. Some of the people I knew in preschool and first grade are still best friends of mine today. My best friend of 12 years will probably eventually become my maid of honor. But I have also lost some amazing friendships over the years and I think that, that has made me a stronger person today.
Over the four years of high school I have realized how much drama girls create, and I didn’t want that to ruin my senior year. Girls go behind each others backs to hurt each other for no reason. When I surrounded myself with girl friends I became a person who was obsessed with drama, talking behind someone’s back, and lying to their face. I didn’t want to be like that anymore so I decided after junior year that I was going to change.
So in the beginning of my senior year I changed my group of friends. I still hang out with my two best girl friends, but I don’t want drama so I invited myself into an amazing group of boys. I still have a couple girl friends, but I spend most of my time with the boys hanging out and having fun. I have had more run ins with the cops, more partying, and more fun this year than any other year of high school. But I am also managing to make honor roll consecutively. Boys don’t care what the other one said about them, or what they did with who. Boys just have fun with not much gossiping and I like living my life that way too.
With my new outlook on life I have more fun all the time. I don’t care if someone doesn’t like my clothes because I like them. I don’t care if some one laughs at me because im always laughing at myself. In being friends with more boys I have learned not to care what other people think of me and be who I am. If I were to stay friends with more girls like when I was young I think I would of turned out like most high school girls. Peak at 18, gossip like it was my job, making homecoming and prom my life, and not get to see the more fun side of high school. My friends have shaped my outlook on life and made me a better person.
