‘Real’ Friends

Once upon a time there was a Blogger. They went to school five days a week and did their homework every night. One day, a new student called K, joined Blogger’s class. They became friends over the years, and K often told Blogger all of their problems. During the last year in school, K called Blogger late at night because they needed help with their homework. So Blogger kindly helped K, even though they were getting sick of K calling them so late at night. The next year, when both Blogger and K started a new school, K kept on asking Blogger for help with their homework (which they would’ve been able to do by themselves if they actually listened in class). Blogger was getting tired of this, so one night; when K still needed help doing homework they should’ve done four days ago, Blogger tells K that they think that K should learn how to do their homework by themselves. K, not understanding how much Blogger needed to concentrate on their own homework and the fact that Blogger couldn’t help them during tests, decided to stop talking to Blogger. The End.

So if you don’t understand the entire meaning of the story (that so happens to be true by the way), it’s that real life is nothing like a fairytale, and that ‘real friends’ do not exist.  I’m sorry if I’m being negative, but I’m really angry with my so called: ‘friend’.
Since I’m a person who’s been through a lot of failed friendships, I want to show you guys the difference between a friend and a fake friend.

Friend
1. They will let you talk during your conversations instead about talking about their own problems all the time and treating you like a therapist.
2. They will not abandon you if you decide not to help them with their homework, even though you’ve helped them for a year and that they should learn how to do their homework by themselves.
3. They will actually try to stay in touch with you after you moved to a different country.

Fake Friend
1. They don’t talk to you for the majority of the day (unless they’ve got something going on) and then spam you with texts because they need help with something.
2. They take advantage of how you in all the ways possible.
3. They abandon you because you decided not to do something they ask for once.
4. They think that you have something against them when you say that you two can’t study together (even though they really just want to copy your answers and take the credit).

I apologize if I’m not much help today, but I think that this advice is somewhat useful. I’m a bit annoyed because I tried my best to help someone and be a good friend, but they continued to take advantage of me and treating me like a therapist like I didn’t have my own problems in life. So, I’m sorry K if you think I’m being rude by writing this post mainly on you-but it was all true and I wanted to avoid that this happens to anyone else.

Lesson of the Day: Be careful of who you let get close to you, because they could just turn their back on you when you did something that was just helping you both out.
