    This I Believe…..

    I believe that everyone should have friends. I believe this because, from experience, having no friends is not fun. Having no friends is like buying a toy with no batteries. If you have no batteries for the toy then you can’t play with it, you can only throw it around.
    I’ve felt this way before. When I was little I was friendless because everyone in the neighborhood had no kids and if they did they were like 17 years old, and have you ever seen a 6 year old hang out with a 17 year old? I mean it’s just freaky! I was always alone. And if I ever found any kids around the neighborhood I never talked to them or played with them because I was scared I wasn’t going to fit in.
    I mean, I didn’t even fit in at Pre School. Plus all the kids in Pre School were annoying. As I got older though I got friends, its just I never talked to them. I wasn’t what people see me now as loud, obnoxious, and talkative, I was quiet, I didn’t cry, not around people at least.
    I thought my life would get better only two years ago. But I was wrong. It only made matters worst. To much drama to much screaming UGH it makes me want to explode! Middle school was nothing like I thought it would be.
    I’m not friendless anymore but some times I feel like I am. I turned the radio up so loud once, just so no one could hear me scream. I was aggravated with my life. And I still am.
    At school no one can tell that my life is a total mess. Only my friend Heather Southerland from first grade knows that my life is like this. She knows that I'm having trouble with my family and other friends and so on. But that first day of seventh grade I made another friend other than Heather. Her name was Jennifer Montoya. Sure she could be a little weird at times but I mean she understood my troubles and what was going on with me.
    I felt like I was actually wanted when I met her. Like I actually fitted in. I didn’t feel like a loser any more and so far even when I did I ignored it, because I knew that I had two best friends on my side. True best friends that I know I could trust
    Even though I do still talk to myself I have a reason. I realized that all I needed that whole time during my life was friends. It was the whole second reason of life. That was why I couldn’t feel human.
    Now I understand why I saw girls spinning around holding hands on the playground when I was little and why guys would trade Pokimon cards. It was because they had real life. Real feelings for each other. They were friends. I believe that EVERYONE should have friends to look out for them, care for them, and help each other out. Its life. Its reality.
    I cry for the weak who I once was before. I pray they turn out like I did. And let god help them with their problems.
