Satire wrote:Be socially awkward and only have 3 childhood friends. They're close to you, and they're the best friends you've ever had. They're always there for you, they talk to you frequently, would take a bullet for you, etc. The catch is one of them disappears in some way every four years, and you also have to deal with the loss of them.
Elementary - You have 3 good friends
Middle School - You have 2 good friends
High School - You have 1 good friend
And in your Senior Year you have absolutely no friends.
 
 (my bad, i posted this, then took it out, but, here's the post again)
EDIT
even tho I don't completely agree with the way option one is worded, i still choose option one.
let me explain...
I had this "friend" who I've known since third grade
we had hung out alot while we were growing up
we were in the same clique in elementary school (4 members)
he was sort of a loud mouth and always made fun of anyone just to get a laugh out of the people who were around him at that moment it time, he did this just to make it look like he was the "funny guy"
more than most of the time he kinda went over the top and he didn't realise he was hurting that person's self esteem
anyways,
when we got into high school
he just had to fit in
he totally fits your "option two"
one night, I was hanging out with this girl at my house
and he came over and knocked on my door
so, me and this girl came outside to talk to him
he couldn't believe I was hanging out with this girl
he didn't like the fact that one of his "best friends" was hanging out with a girl who he didnt accept
so, the next day at school he started saying a bunch of shit
talking about how me and this girl had hung out the previous night and how we had had sex
(we didn't)
the rumors flew
this girl had an older brother who went to the school
and when my friend got confronted about what he was saying
he denied everything, and blamed the whole thing on me
my friend told this girls older brother how I was saying I had sex with her
this guy believed my "friend" over me
and believed I was the one saying this stuff
after school I got confronted by about 30 of his friends
and a couple of them beat the shit out of me while a majority of the school watched
including my "friend" who had started the whole mess
I ended up dropping out of high school
because I couldn't deal with getting beat up everyday from what my friend had started.
to this day, he still hasn't apoligized to me
I've basically cut off all communication with him
I'll sometimes hear from other people that he doesn't understand why I don't talk to him anymore
suffice, i don't hate him
(because i don't want to hate anyone in life)
but, I have absolutely no intention of ever forgiving him.
So, that's why I choose Option One.
I've learned to trust No One, not even the people who you 
think are your friends
because they'll always betray you in the end.
tho, I do have a few close friends who I keep in touch with once or twice a month.
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.
