The "Friend"

Don't kiss their butt.

"Fake"

Hello guys, and welcome to my first story. The story I am about to give you is about one of my favorite words "Friends." Friendship is a relationship that you have with people you have known for some time, or since the beginning of your time. Friendships are meant to be sacred, trustful, and most times full of lots of fun, but sometimes as being in the real world, friends don't always last. You my lose contact with that person: they could have lost your phone number, or you they are just too busy with other things, but there is one thing about the real world that makes me sad to realize; that they may have never been your friend to begin with.

Let me start this off with the most honest of truths, "There are many fake friendships." You may think someone is your friend because you are nice, instead they are just your friend because you just got paid, and they know they can get some money out of you, because you are nice. See how that scenario changed the way you didn't think it was going to go in? Exactly, you didn't think about it in that way, but instead you thought that they were your friend, because nobody wants to hear that they are being used. Being used is one of the worst things to feel in the entire world.

Secondly, this is the real topic I wanted to bring upon this story, kissing ass. Yes, I said it, kissing ass. People will go out of their way to get someone to like them, because they think that person is so cool, or that they're scared of them. I know this from experience. I am not going to stand here and be a hypocrite, because I know once before that I was a FOLLOWER. I'm not talking about Instagram followers, I'm talking about being someone's bitch. I used to buy this person all kinds of food, clothes, makeup, and everything, because I thought that this girl was really my friend. Nope. Because in my time of need, the time that I needed to be left alone, the time where my mental health was in jeopardy, when I needed someone to comfort me, that is when she struck me down. Guys I'm telling you this is because I care about you. Choose your friends wisely, not because they are cool, or they are bullies, but because you want them to be your friend just because. There should be no absolute reason why. I currently am in a situation were I get demonetized, because I stand up for myself, because I have the courage to tell them to leave me alone. Now no one wants to talk to me, because the person that I thought was my friend dislikes me for an invalid reason. A manipulative person who has the whole household under their control, because they are naturally scared of a person with a terrible past. Now I have to suffer being called very vulgar and insensitive names, and no one can do anything about it, because they choose to be the bystander, because they don't want to lose a friend either. It is sad because the same will soon happen to them, and it will hit them hard like it did for me.

Let me help you out with this situation. Don't run away. Fight back. You tell someone that you are experiencing these things, I know you guys have someone to share with, and if you don't, share with me. Know who your real friends are, because everyone you may come across is NOT your friend, but instead may be your worst enemy. Know that.
