Personal Narrative Essay: My Best Friend And Being Friends

My best friend and Being friends with someone for fifteen years doesn't mean that you truly know them. My used to be best friend and I done everything together. We became pregnant at sixteen, tried to figure life out, and went on our first mom vacation together. It seemed like we was sisters separated at birth. Then one day everything about the person I thought I knew started becoming the person I never truly met.
I met when we was in middle school; it was like we had grown up together. We would stay the night at each others, go to the movies, and even attended each others family functions. We joined every club and went to every school event together. When we got in high school people thought we were sisters. At sixteen, we both became pregnant and were due a few weeks apart. We had dreams of going to college, doing the spring break teenage thing, and getting a place together. We had done everything else together, so we knew we could face being moms at a young age.

We texted and a few weeks later I was approved to move into the apartment with her.…

    It has even survived with being a long-distance friendship for the last five years (we generally talk over Skype for about two hours every other Sunday). My best friend is the only person currently in my life who I can confidently call my friend in an Aristotelian sense of the word. I have other “would-be friends,” some of whom are very close to being true friends, but they have simply not weathered the test of time as my best friend has (119). I have known these people for anywhere from four weeks to four…

    I’ve had many different friends in my life. I’ve had good and bad relationships. Friends that I grew apart from and others that ditched me because they simply just didn’t want to be my friend anymore. But all of those relationships, good and bad, have shaped who I am today and each have taught or showed me something different about friendship. For that reason all of the hurt, trials, and stress those relationships brought to my life was all worth it.…

She could do it in less than a second. She did it to me and I didn't even realize it until my other friend showed it to me…

    As a teenager I have never thought about what the hardest, or best part of being a teen has been, I usually just live with it because it is my life and it is everyday. Sitting here, thinking about it, being a teen is one of the hardest stages of life, but it's also one of the best. I would say it's hard because you are expected to act like an adult, all emotions are everywhere and everything you do as a teen defines you as an adult. It could be the best because your not treated like a baby no more, people trust you to make the right decision and you get more freedom. Even though it can be a hard time i would say that you always have people around you who will always be there for you, they will always have your back.…
