31 Day Challenge- Day 9 Friends

     Friends. Do you have just a few close friends, one best friend, or many friends that you don't know that well? That is a question that is often asked between people. My answer? None of them. I have a lot of close friends, I have more than one best friend, and I have a lot of people that I know, but not a lot about them. To you it may seem that you can't have just one best friend, or just one close friend, but to me you can have as many of each as you want. Now, you may not tell your whole life story or all of your problems to all of your close friends or your best friends, you may only tell one or a couple of them. All of my close friends know what my problems are, and a lot of them may know my life story.
     Everybody needs friends. If you were isolated to just being with your family 24/7, I'm pretty sure you would go crazy. I know I would! You have friends in the same class as you, at work, at the same lunch as you, etc. If I was just allowed to hang out with my family and never be able to see any of my friends, I would be locked up in my room because I can't stand hanging out with my family all day everyday. Now granted I do hang out with my friends a lot on weekends, and even after school most of the days, but that is my way of staying out of all the family drama and arguments!
     My friends could make up a whole entire family and that would be my second family. Sure, we may fight and argue sometimes, but in the end it's all good. If you didn't have disagreements with your friends, then y'all aren't normal. I go to the movies, stores, scavenger hunts, restaraunts, pet stores, games, and parties with friends, if I didn't do that I would have no social life. If I had no social life, I would be this sheltered and friendless person. The only reason I get up and go to school in the morning is to see friends. No other reason. You think that I like getting up early to go do a bunch of paperwork and tests? Ummm no.
     School is like my second home because everybody is there. Everybody is at school, you get to hang out with them at lunch, passing periods, and who knows, you could have a bunch of your friends in some classes with you. School is a place where people can escape from family and just chill with friends! If you go to public school, it is more than likely that you have at least 3 friends. I have so much more, but they are the reason I get out of bed in the morning.
  

Bottom line: Friends = Family
