Personal Narrative: The Sexy Six

Improved Essays
Last year I thought I had the perfect group of friends called "The Sexy Six", but it turns out one cannot always trust the person whom seems the most trust worthy. Over the summer this group split up and I am glad it did. I now know which friends of mine I can trust. Although one of these friends is at a college one and a half hours away; I know she is just a phone call away. I know that the rest of my friends are, too. When it comes down to who to trust I know that when the going gets tough my true friends will always be with me by my side to stick through it.
A long time ago, I thought that having a clique would have been the best groups of friends to have. I have since learned what my mother meant by,“Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket.” I put all of my eggs in one basket this summer, and it was the worst decision I have ever made. I forgot who my true friends were and became closer to a fake friend that did not stay by my side through the rough times. I knew being friends with her was a bad decision when she started to tear bonds between other

I don’t regret becoming part of the clique because I made five true friends. I regret not saying anything when I saw Annie being treated badly. I regret not taking action in a situation I knew I should have. Since the clique has ended, our friendship between us and outside the group became stronger.
In the end, true friendship is the best thing that life can bring. I am truly blessed to have the friends I do and am very thankful that these friends are true to me. Never again will I put "all of my eggs in one basket." I will always be friends with everyone and never be in a clique again. Sometimes the greatest things in life come with anger, sadness, happiness, and joy. These experiences brought me all of these feelings, but I do not regret finding my true friends through the rough

    I walked into the familiar main entrance of the school, crossing my arms and setting my face into what I thought was an intimidating glare. Although I looked like an angry toddler, with my round face and childish glower, my attitude came across very clearly: I was not happy at all to be back at school. After getting into a huge fight with my friend group earlier that year, I was starting high school essentially friendless. It wasn’t as if I didn’t have another group of people to fall back onto.…

    The Circles of Sexuality There are many different levels to be understood when it comes to sexuality, not only yours, but also your partner’s values, feelings, and attitudes towards sexuality.

    You’ve probably heard of the saying “Friends are the family you choose” ; a quote that has probably been screenprinted, pretty font-ed, and marketed to every Pinterest mom out there and more. Up until a while ago, I would say I believed it too; but after analyzing my strongest friendships, I have found that pretty much all of them began as a result of being nudged in a certain direction, somewhat like an assemblement. This assemblement or “little nudges” as I call them, are what I believe has helped me to create some of the best and most meaningful friendships I have. How I came to realize this starts in early January of this year, when I participated in my first ever drama night at school. There were two plays for my grade as there were…
