Some get over it and move on to the next obstacle, some don’t get off that easy. That fight, it’s going to stick in your memory. Some people don’t let it off that easy, sometimes it goes too far, It gets too overwhelming when your so called “best friend” tells you who you can't, and can hang out with. Especially when it's a very special time of the year, Homecoming. It’s one thing if your friend tells you not to hang with one particular person because they are bad or a bad influence, but it's another when they tell you, you can't hang out with your best friend you’ve had forever. My best friend and I promised to be in the same homecoming group, we’ve had that plan forever. I wanted all my close friends to be with me, in the same group. Disagreements were made, and a lot of fighting went on. I guess you could call the controlling friend “the leader of the group” because she thinks she makes all the decisions.

Taking out my phone again I typed her contact in and began to write her a message saying that, that I was tired of her controlling my life and that I needed to make my own designs. Of course she didn't like me standing up to her, which is typical, so she continued to go on. She wasn't worth my time. She was causing too much distress towards me, and my mental health. To this day, currently right now, my life is better now that no one is controlling it. Yes of course your parents tell you who's bad to hang out with and what's right or wrong, but they're your parents. They know better, they're older and wiser.
