Just Friends (HH2)

Some people believe that guys and girls can’t just be just friends. And I’m sorry but this statement is just ridiculous. People need to actually think about this before they say it. Think back to when we were little, girls and boys were always just friends, they didn’t know any better to be anything more...so what makes it not okay for them to continue to be just friends. Of course in some situations when a guy and a girl are friends they can begin to start having feelings for each other. But that doesn’t mean that happens all the time. Now in my situation, I just lost a bunch of my good friends because I became friends with some guy. They don’t like to believe that we are just friends, and for that fact, they just dropped me like I was nothing. Now obviously this showed me that they were never really my true friends anyways, but it is just a horrible feeling losing a good amount of friends to something this stupid. It just goes to show how immature people are. Guys and girls can be just friends. When you are married do you plan on telling your husband or wife that they are not allowed to have friends of the opposite sex? No, you aren’t because they are going to end up working with people of the opposite sex and of course build relationships with them. The only time you have to be worried is when it goes too far. But there is where the trust comes in. If you trust someone you wouldn’t have to worry about that. But anyways, the myth tht guys and girls can’t be just friends is immature. And the fact that people are willing to lose friends just because they don’t believe each other is just pathetic. Once people grow up they will begin to see that men and women are good friends and have good friendships without taking it further than being friendly. Hopefully one day my friends will understand this concept, but if not then clearly they are still immature and I shouldn’t have to stress and worry over it.

Jealousy (HH1)

Jealousy can be the most evil thing. Everyone is jealous at least once in their life. Jealousy comes in many different ways. Someone could become jealous because their boyfriend or girlfriend is spending more time with another boy or girl. Someone could be jealous of another person because of the car they own or the clothes they wear. Jealousy leads to envy. You begin to envy people because of your jealousy. In my honest opinion, jealousy is stupid. There is no reason to be jealous in a relationship. Being in a relationship means having trust in each other. Okay, I take that back. There are reasons to become jealous. But not to the point of being envy of people because of material things. When a person in a relationship becomes jealous of their boyfriend or girlfriend it causes the relationship to go downhill. Jealousy sucks, but you have to figure out a way to deal with it. I would love to say that it is very easy to not become jealous, but it isn't. It isn't our faults, it is society's fault. The culture we grow around teaches us that it is normal to be a jealous person. But in reality it truly isn't. There are multiple ways to stop your jealousy before it gets out of hand. For example, lets say that your boyfriend or girlfriend has a very good friend who is of the opposite sex and they like to hang out together. Now, this makes you very jealous, but first you need to stop and think...is there any reason from past encounters where you shouldn’t be able to trust your boyfriend or girlfriend together with this person? If there isn’t any reason they can’t be trusted together, then there is your first sign that being jealous of it is a waste of time. Therefore all you have to do is trust them and calm down. Jealousy can be avoided by taking a second and thinking it all through. In the end, being jealous is stupid and immature.

Venting (GG1 and GG2)

Lately I've been so unmotivated to go to school. Going to school means seeing people who I could care less about seeing for the rest of my life. Going to school means dealing with the people who just dropped you like you were nothing over something stupid. Going to school means dealing with all the bull crap that no one wants to deal with. I guess what I am trying to get at is being in high school is a buzz kill. Especially senior year, when all you want to do is graduate and actually start your life. I am so sick of people telling me how much of a negative person I am. I am not a negative person, and it is funny because the only people who actually say that, are the people who never see me outside of school. When I am not stuck in school I am a very outgoing, happy person. Of course I am not the happiest person, I do have those days where nothing seems to be going right, but most of the time I am pretty content. People in high school are so quick to judge, "Oh she doesn't do sports or participate in anything school related, she is such a negative person". It becomes ridiculous when you see people crying over the fact that high school is over. Your life hasn't even began yet, so why are you so scared to leave this place. It doesn't make sense to me. Why are people so hung up on high school? Maybe it is because high school was their glory days and they are afraid of reality. Because soon enough they are going to realize they won't be a hot shot in the real world. You actually have to work for what you want. Mommy and Daddy aren't going to be around forever to buy you nice clothes and nice cars. Eventually you are going to have to fend for yourself. Not everybody is going to like you, and in all honesty, I believe that that is why some people are so afraid of leaving high school. They are afraid of rejection or even failure. It is just such a huge reality check once people leave high school. Most of the time you are never going to see your high school best friend after high school. People go their separate ways and that is okay. Life after high school is so exciting, it is when you decide the life you want to live. You make your own decisions, you start your own life. In my opinion I can not wait to graduate high school and start my life. I love meeting new people and experiencing new things. People need to realize there is more to life than high school. A high school break up, isn’t the end of the world. Failing a class, isn’t the end of the world. Losing your best friend, isn’t the end of the world. Actually in high school people start to realize who their real friends truly are. Most of the time the truth is shocking, and of course it will be painful. Nobody ever said life was going to be easy, it is what you make of it. Graduating high school is important. It gives you the chance to become the person you’ve always wanted to be. Yes, growing up involves you actually having responsibilities. Growing up means doing what you want, but you actually have to deal with the consequences on your own. Growing up means maturing. Growing up will lead you to be the kind of person you want to be.  Moral of the story is, don't be sad about high school ending, your life is just beginning!
