Secrets

Once, i had this best friend in 2nd grade. Somebody had told me not to play with her because she always nagged and was really childish. Even though she was my best friend, i was young, and usually, when youre young, you believe everything anyone tells you. So hearing this, i had decided to distance myself from my best friend. This was the secret i did not tell her. I had avoided her all day, and didnt tell her why. First of all, I didnt tell her because i didnt want her to find out i wasnt playing with her, and second, because i didnt want to be the bad person who just left their best friend for something somebody else had said. I guess that could reveal a thing about my personality. I dont tell people things, becasue either i get hurt or somebody else does, and i dont like the feeling of that. Then, by the end of recess, all the girls in the class knew that i couldnt, or wouldnt play with my best friend. (there were only like 5 girls in the class) So by this time, my best friend knew somthing was wrong, and sensed that i had been avioding her. My secret had been revealed in class right after recess when my best friend asked me why eveybody was treating her differently and why i was being so mean to her. Then, had no choice but to tell her, so i told her that somebody had said that she nagged and was really childish. It was pretty shocking at first for her, but it as well made me feel bad becasue i had said it infront of the whole class as well as the teacher. Of couse, by the next day we were best firends again, and everything was fine, it still left a memory in the back of my head; although the secret had only lasted about an hour, but it was the worst hour of my life. I had avioded my best friend because of what somebody else told me. That was what i learned about my personality that day, i believed anything what people said, and as well as listened to other people. I dont listen to myself, but care about what other people think, and take it into thought. Even though i know it is not right, becasue other people tell me so, i do it. Through this experience, i had learned that, dont keep secrets from your friends because you never know when or how you can hurt them. And make decisions on your own, dont let anyone make them for you.
