You really do need to know who your true friends are. Last year was my first time on crutches, and my “BFF’s” didn’t even help me. In fact, they ran away from me, excluded me, ditched me. I was so hurt, they would run from me, but I couldn’t catch up. My whole school year was based on chasing after those two, but what I didn’t realize, was that three girls, were chasing after me. They were helping me while I was in crutches. They were a shoulder to cry on. They were true friends. So the point here is that you need to know need to know that there will be bad friends, but you can’t chase after them. Like every mother tells her child, “It’s better to have one good friend, than a bunch of bad friends.” So that’s my advice to you: Don’t chase after the friends who don’t care about you. Better yet, don’t focus on them, focus on the wonderful, kind-hearted friends that DO care about you. And here’s a shout out to anyone out there who says they have no one, that they’re completely alone: You will never be alone. You will always have God with you.
