There are many things I look for in friends, everyone is complicated and no one perfect. One thing I just cannot stand is unreliability in a friend. There's a difference between someone who just doesn't have his/ her shit together, and is always late to events and forgets his/her homework regularly, and those who don't invest anything into a friendship and have no issue lying or ditching plans. Yes, I am aware of really how angsty I sound right now and I'm not really trying to, I just get very touchy about a select few topics.
Especially in high school friendship can be a very surface subject that never actually touches below the outside appearance, there simply to improve statuses and friend counts. The whole concept really makes me cringe, I hate the idea of fake friendships when only one party is in the know. I have witnessed some pretty nasty stuff involving blocking individuals out of groups and blind-siding girls who really have no idea about the things being whispered behind her back.
What happened to honesty being a component in friendship? I shouldn't really say this as I do have some greta friends that I ma very grateful for and have no complaints about, but some others.. I just think friends should be able to trust each other and never have to deal with dishonesty.
then delete your facebook and start finding out who your real friends are. the ones that do not need a status update to talk to you.
