I think a lot of it is part of the age and I had a manipulative friend who was a bad influence. I don't like the way I treated some of my other friends (including Emilie, the one you met!) and I wish I had the wisdom I have now back then. It's true what you're saying here. =]Kate Amunrudhttp://cleartheway.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051904684917790050.post-26534497592718735352014-10-12T11:59:20.879-04:002014-10-12T11:59:20.879-04:00Sorry to hear that.

It was because she acted like she was an expert when she had only just started developing an interest. Plus, I already thought she was fake because she would tell me that she loved something (like a movie) and then a minute later tell someone else that she hated it.LittleMonsterx14noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051904684917790050.post-43972733617473578492014-10-09T04:48:08.656-04:002014-10-09T04:48:08.656-04:00It's so great to develop new interests and lea...It's so great to develop new interests and learn new things, but at school it can lead to nasty comments.

And while I do regret it now, I am still in touch with a lot of those girls and we have laughed about how different we all were in high school (and the good ways we are still the same!). I think sometimes judging like that is unavoidable, but I feel the important thing is being able to grow past it!Kaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051904684917790050.post-53326470979078550232014-10-08T18:45:32.007-04:002014-10-08T18:45:32.007-04:00I was the friend that was called a fake a lot actu...I was the friend that was called a fake a lot actually, because I always wanted to try new things!

It's strange and funny that teenagers see getting into a new hobby as being "fake."<br /><br />I had a real life Mean Girls experience in middle school. I desperately wanted to fit in with the popular girls, so I joined their little group. But all they did was talk crap about each other, so to maintain a false sense of bonding, I took part in it and they eventually used that against me. It taught me a lot about friendships and people in general, so I don't necessarily regret it, but it's not fun to think back on it.Jennhttp://incendiarism.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051904684917790050.post-30156899488718453042014-10-08T09:22:39.232-04:002014-10-08T09:22:39.232-04:00In high school I never really spoke my mind, I alw...In high school I never really spoke my mind, I always went with whatever the popular girls thought because I wanted to be in their group.
