Alright let’s move onto high school. Yikes is all I have to say. It was bad enough transitioning to new grades every year but seventh grade was a whole other story. From the combining of two schools and to moving to a whole new building. I’ve always had anxiety but when you better believe me when I say it was at its peak. In seventh grade I was clinging to a friendship that already ended. I was in the background of these people who I would call close friends. They had moved on from what we had to something new and shiny. Kind of like buying a brand new car, you get it and soon forget to think about the one before. Not to mention that we were basically only friends with people we had classes with. I mean I get that those are people who you spend the most time with, but now that I look I realize just because you spent a lot of time with them doesn’t mean they were actually good friends. You just spent time with them because there was nobody else around. Now tell me this, when summer rolled around who actually kept contact with you. I don’t mean texted you to see what classes you had together, but did that actually want to spend that time with you. Of course people have plans, it’s summer and we are out of school. But think about all the times you knew people were at home posting about how bored they are, when you're sitting there alone and they have already turned you down. You see it’s okay to them when they turn your plans down but as soon as you do it to them you're automatically labeled as the bad guy. No matter what we do we never do the right things. This brings me to think of seventh grade as the peak of drama. Honestly I can’t tell you a thing about what was going on in seventh grade, but I can tell you someone was always mad at another person. All of this really just makes me wonder. How long until the friendship just ends? I know you shouldn’t think of things like this but, think about it. These people you use to tell all of your secrets to are now just strangers who don’t even glance in your direction. But you can’t just erase that history, but sometimes it feels like it’s never even happened. Also may I add the fact of thinking about your parents. How many of the “friends” they had in high school do they talk to now? People grow apart, it’s the normal thing. But it still hurts. Anyway this has been me ranting, again.
Hey Zoey! I completely get where you're coming from 100%. And I am so so thankful that you choose to blog about friends this week as well. Friendships are weird, and they change up all the confusing times. This year I've realized who my real friends are and that's good too. My off-year was last year, and yours was your 7th-grade year and that's because we are all different and our life's work different. Which is insane, hahaha ikr. But it's honestly true, and then I realized who my real friends are and that's good. Anyways, thank you so much for blogging about this subject this week because I needed that. emily fitzgerald 9/11

ReplyDeleteHey I totally agree with you on how much friendships change and how people grow apart because that's a part of life which sucks sometimes but sometimes you need that growing apart to send you in the right direction or maybe that friendship was toxic and you needed that out of your life. But I have to say the peak of drama for me was last year and 9th grade years there was just so much drama and definitely seventh grade was the main peak of drama because I guess everyone was trying to figure out what and who they are or wanted to be as a person.
