Friends

Friends. Love them or hate them, you cannot live without them. What is required in a friend? Good looking? Charming? Pretty? Or maybe understanding? There are times when your peers treat you lunch, or even give u something as a gift. However, are they really sincere or do they want something instead? Well, I can’t elaborate on that as I am not able to read their minds. I came across a friend of mine who would ignore me when I am online. The next day, I went up to him and asked him why he did that. In reply, he told me, ‘In fact, I did that for your own good. I don’t want you to spend your time talking to me and neglecting your studies’. Of course, I was shocked and stunned. I never knew that he was such a kind and caring friend. We then patched things up and we were best buds for 5 years until he had to follow his family to Kuala Lumpur. Things are different for me now. Friends would even back-stab you just because they want something in their life. Most of those who have loads of friends are affluent and popular. Those who are poor would not even feel that love and affection from their classmates. They would be neglected and remoted. Being treated that way, most of them would be a school dropout in future. Even their teachers don’t give them the attention that they need. Being from a poor family, I am very sure that most of them had to suffer in order to pay their school fees. To them, they go to school to socialize with people, make new friends and learn more things. However, things happen vice-versa instead. They indulge in drugs, the habit of smoking just for one purpose, to communicate with people around them. They do not care the implication of their actions. I have come across students who are materialistic. They would only mix with people who wear designer items. On the other hand, they won’t even say a word to those who wear inferior items. The world has changed indeed. Take a look at the recent newspaper. A 21 year old man would even drug his own girlfriend because he wants to have sex with her. Fucked up attitude, huh? Guess what happened after that? The unlucky girl, who was on high at that time, fell from a three-story flat. She is now admitted to the emergency room. Will she survive? Will she die? What happened to the man, you may ask. Well, what else? He fled, of course. The police are currently searching for him though. Ever come across friends who wouldn’t talk to you when they are busy talking to their group of friends? Don’t you think that that’s too much? Too much indeed. Bah….I wanna see how is my Elmo doing right now..haha! bye..elmo out~!
