Many people think that making friends is hard. It really isn't, all you need is confidence, a boldness. Basically it's easy to make friends, but a little hard to put up with them. Maybe your experience is better than mine. This story is a little long, so try and bare with me.
My Experience:
When I was thirteen, I just moved to this new country where I didn't know anyone or know where anything is. I just finished reading "The Seven Habits Of Highly Effective Teens"(good book by the way). It gave me the courage to do something I normally never would do. I heard some kids outside playing catch. And it had been the first site of kids I seen within miles. So I rushed outside toask them if I could play. I was so terrified at the fact that they may not like me, I'm chasing waterfalls, my mom doesn't want me to have a social life(she did just about everything to stop me for walking out the door). BBut I took a chance and long behold I made friends. They seemed so nice to me. One friends I was really into. We spent most of our time together, he invited me tohis house so many times to where i lost count. But one day we got into a fight. And I don't think I talked o him for several months. So while Iwas spending that time dispising him, he was packing up to move. He just knocked on my door one day and said "I'm moving". I felt like such an idiot and a jerk. Although he is alot rough around the edges he was a great friend. Lucky for me he moved behind the neighborhood school. It was a bit of awalk but at the time it was'nt that important. He would come by some times to pick my friends and i up, but it didn't last. I saw that friend as the group leader, if he hadn't come knocking on our doors most of the time we wouldn't be at the basketball park having the time of our lives(even though I sucked at basketball). It's been a long time since we all seen each other(which is a little strange considering we live in the same area). But one day I took a walk and saw one of my friends(david) and we kind of avoided each other the first time. But then I saw this as a big chance, could I take my friends(denzel, his name is denzel)place? I took a chance,I found david and asked if he wanted to play basketball. He immediately said "You get phillip, i'll get denzel". So after all of the rattling wer'e all finally at the basketball park. We wer'e all having a great time, until an older gentleman show'd up. Everyone thought he sooo cool. i was just wondering why is a boy(man) that has a beard and is supposedly in high school hanging around a bunch of kids? If this man did'nt cuss at everything, made me feel unconfortable, and put me out of the game, maybe we would have gotten to know each other. Thatman made me so mad. The first time in a long time I pull everyone together and this is what happens? Some bearded mexi-cunt shows up and ruins the entire thing? Well I was so mad i just whipped out my phone, and headed on home without saying a word to anybody. My best friend said "Your leaving(after i didn't respond)he said..oh ok" I guess I felt a litte bad doing that, but the point is if someone rubs you the wrong way you have the right to leave. They made me feel so mad, like I was invisible. I miss them. I miss them so much. Although I was teased alotfor being the new guy i always believed they had some level of respect for me. I always regreted for letting such a good friendship die over nothing. After I told my mother this story she said"Well if you let petty things like this ruin your day, then it will keep happening."
Lessons from ths story:
Making friends isn't hard
Putting up with friends is hard
Remember to love yourself no matter the situation.
Don't let a good thing die
