Friendships

I've always been told that as you grow older, you tend to find out who your true friends are, and that high school changes people. I can honestly say I have experienced both of those sayings. High school made me realize that the amount of time you've known someone can turn out to mean nothing in some cases of friendship. No matter how much you try to deny it and hold on to them, if it's not meant to be, it's just not meant to be. I have about six true friends, but, although I'm happy with them, that number probably will decrease. It's one of those things that your mom warned you about, but you didn't listen to her. I know that my mom pointed out my friends to me a while back, but I wanted to prove her wrong. It's been said that parents can spot fake friends before you can, and that is exactly what happened. I'm not bad-mouthing them, though, because we still are friends. We're just not as close as we once were. I don't have a problem with it, because everything happens for a reason. Sometimes certain people are removed to make room for others.
