My New Friends The transition from middle school to high school is something that every teenager longs for. It’s a time where one feels like they’re open to more opportunities and one of those opportunities is making new friends. For me, I didn’t think I needed new friends, nor did I want any. From elementary school, all throughout middle school, I had the same group of friends. These group of friends had my back through everything, and I had theirs as well. Little did I know that would all change once I crossed through those high school doors. High school was a place filled with cliques. There were popular, smart, athletic and a bunch other groups: many different types of cliques, but they all stuck with each other every day. I didn’t consider what my friends and I had as a clique, but more like a strong bond; or what I thought was a strong bond at least.

Walking into tryouts, I had known some of the girls from playing with them previously in middle school. Once I made the team, I found myself spending more and more time with them, since we were together most of the school day and after school. I started noticing these girls were in my class as well. This was the turning point of the loneliness I had been feeling. Hanging out with them made me realize how much in common I had with them. For the next 3 years of high school, they became my new close group of friends that I was always with. I was grateful for these girls because I knew they would stick with me being that we were on the same team together. Every now and then I saw my old friends, but being with my new ones made me realize who my true friends were. I believed everything happened for a reason, so I did not feel sorry for myself anymore whenever I did see them. If it was not for them leaving me, I wouldn’t have met my new best

    At the beginning of the year the people I was hanging out with are amazing people, but they didn't make me feel welcome at the table. So in the first month of school, I had already switched tables. The friends that I migrated to are good people, who make terrible decisions. They made me feel pressured to hate certain people and act a certain way. I didn't realized how much this had affected my life until recently. Those friends made me feel like I had to have something wrong with me to be different, or fit in with them. When I finally realized what they were doing to me, I left.

    All or most of us have gone through it. The countless hours we spent filling out college applications, scholarship applications, visiting colleges, and taking the dreaded tests. Whether it was the PSAT, SAT, ACT, or other college entrance exams, it was a big hassle. After visiting such a great number of colleges, the advantages and disadvantages of the schools seemed to run together in my mind. The endless paper work and deadlines seemed as though they would never end. When I thought about college, it seemed like it was not real, like it was a figment of my imagination. I imagined what it would be like, wondering where I would go. The questions of "What did I want to major in?" and after I decided that, "What schools had my major?" circled around in my head. When filling out questionnaires for college searches I was asked about what size college I preferred, whether I wanted to be in a rural or suburban area. Did I really know how to answer these questions that would so greatly affect the next four years of my life?

    I have been to so many different schools that I cannot even count them all using all 10 fingers. You would think that by now I would be used to being the new kid, but with every move it just gets harder and harder. I have learned that it is harder to be the new kid when you are older versus when you are younger. As a kid it is cool to be the new kid and everyone wants to be your friend. In high school it is the complete opposite. Unless you approach them, most high school students won’t even bother talking to you. Every time that I think I have finally made a friend, I am almost immediately shot down. I am beginning to feel like I don’t belong

    Friendship: the most important part of our high school years that we cherish the most. Every good friend that has come into our lives, like footsteps that we encounter along a walk on a beach, leaves us with a different perspective of who we really are. The activities that we are involved in throughout high school introduce us to life changing friends. My freshman year, during track, I met one of those special friends. We ran the same distance races; together we shared that special bond as teammates. She's always been an extraordinary athlete, who runs with her heart, who I have always looked up to.

    I remember a time a few years back when I had a group of fairly close friends. We would always hang out with eachother and we would await the day at which we were to enter high school together. When we finally reached high school, there where now a whole new group of people that were older than I. I still had my group of friends, but gradually I started to lose one of them. My friend was going against my other schoolmate, and before I knew it I was hurling the same insults as they were. It was all part of a process; a process, I thought, was going to make me popular. I thought that if I could make someone look lower than I was, I would gain self-confidence and become more popular.

When I figured out who they were as people and what they could give as a friend, versus what I needed as a friend, I made my decision. It wasn’t a decision that was said out loud or one that was publicized. I just directed my energy towards the people who needed my friendship in return for the friendship they had shown me.
