Jealous

Over the last year, a lot of the people that I know started drifting away from their old friends, and making new friends. Rumors started popping up everywhere (e.g., “she likes so-and-so”, and “she was so mean to me!”). Sometimes it was fairly obvious what were rumors and what were not, but sometimes it was impossible to tell. Some of my friends would burst into tears during lunch or on the bus. The lesson of the story is this: it doesn’t matter! If you feel like your friends are being treated cruelly, stand up for them, whether they really did it or not.
