People say best friends are forever. Well they’re not. No matter how much you promise yourself it won’t happen to you or how close you are, it only takes a split second for that all the fall apart. Maybe they lie to you or stab you in the back and it’s all over. Then what? Are you supposed to just forgive and forget? What happens when you do and it happens over and over again? Is it really supposed to happen that way? Do they really expect you to forgive them over and over?
People say friends make your life complete and give you the balance you need, but what if they aren’t there when you need them? What if your best friend moves away, stabs you in the back or lies to you and it all falls apart? Then what? It will take a long time to find a new friend and to get to the point you were with your old one. What are you supposed to do in that time you have no one?
People say secrets between friends are sacred and should never be shared. But what if it puts you in a situation between choosing the right thing or your friend? Then what? Are you supposed to risk your credibility and virtues for your friend or do what you think is right? What happens if you choose the wrong thing and your friendship is ruined because you betrayed them and told the truth or your kept the secret and can’t live with yourself? Should you really have to make that decision?
People say that friends can heal your soul. What if you spend your whole life trying to reassure them and heal them and you miss all the good times? Maybe they can’t be healed, maybe they don’t want to be. Then what? You spend the whole time trying to fix things that can’t be fixed and put yourself through hell. Is that really how it should be? Friends are supposed to be there, but what are you supposed to do if they don’t want help? Are you supposed to put yourself through that; watching your best friend hurt when you can’t do a thing about it?
People say to never give up. But what if you’re just fighting a losing fight? What if you are just pretending everything’s alright when it’s not? Then what? Are you supposed to keep pretending and putting on the fake smile to keep that friendship going? What does it take to finally push you over that edge when you just can’t take it anymore? When is it ok to finally let go and end it? And why if it hurts you so bad to be friends, does it hurt so much to think about letting it all go…
When people say best friends are forever…don’t believe them. Hold on to what you have because you never know when it will all fall apart.

That is so true Good job
A true friend should never leaving you thinking whether to tell the truth or not. Young friendships test our values and morals for sure. Keep up the writing, you are great at saying what needs to be heard by many young people. Thought provoking.
We are all just people and we all make mistakes.
I'm just saying...
