Friendship I believe is such an important factor of our lives. At the moment, in one of my classes were talking about self identity. I'm not going to further into the topic of identity but one major thing I took out of the class is that, we are you we surround ourselves with. Our friendship groups, our 'cliques' play a major role in our identity. The other thing I picked up on is that identities can change, they are forever changing.

Can you grow out of a friend?

Yes.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing. I have a group of friends (there's about 8 of us) and I consider them all to be my best friends. Yes I'm closer to some then others and I've also known some a lot longer then others.

A friend is someone you love and who loves you, someone you respect and who respects you, someone whom you trust and who trusts you. A friend is honest and makes you want to be honest, too. A friend is loyal.

People change, friends change. Some times your friends can become your enemies and sometimes you just drift apart. I love all my friends but I honestly don't believe that after school finishes, when we don't see each other everyday, I doubt that we will all stay in contact because we will grow we will be starting our adult lives with so many new adventures and experiences to go through, sometimes your friends are just left behind.

Some people say 'she's like a sister to me' or 'he's my brother from a different mother'. Some friends do stay friends forever, I'm not saying that you won't. It's just that in our adolescence our personality often changes as we're discovering new things.

Through primary school I had four best friends. When high school came around we all got split up, 3 (including myself) went to one school and the other 2 went to another. We all missed each other but made new friends and we were happy. It wasn't until Chloe(not her real name) announced she was moving to the other school where my other friends went. Chloe was probably my closest friend, so I was sad when she left. A couple of months later my other friend said she was moving to the other school. I was okay but I missed my old friends, I had my new friends but I wasn't happy. After a lot of persuading I managed to get my parents to agree to move me to the other school.

So now I was reunited with all my friends.

When I got there I meet the other 4 girls (who are now apart of our 'group'). Things were great and I was finally liking school again.

A couple of months later Chloe and I had a massive fight, for no reason. We didn't talk at all over the summer break. Chloe's was my closest friend because we enjoyed the same things. We both loved adventures. After Chloe broke up with her boyfriend she can running back to me, she needed a friend and knew I had always been there for her. We patched things up and became good friends again.

After Chloe broke up with her boyfriend she started sleeping around and going to parties. This usually doesn't bother me because it is her life, her choices and she can do what she wants. I am a strong believer in karma. Although Chloe was getting a bit out of control I stuck by her it wasn't until I discovered she got with one of my other best friends ex's that I decided she hag gone to far. I told Chloe that she needed to own up to what she did, she didn't, but luckily the 'ex' did and he told my friend the truth. Sh*t hit the roof and Chloe basically left the group. I am not fighting with Chloe, I will still smile at her if I see her in the hallway but we don't talk as much. I'm sad to of lost a good friends but she had changed and we just weren't compatible anymore.
Friendship is extraordinary but its a it takes two to tango, so stay loyal.
Can you grow out of a friend?
yes.
