Wuthering Heights: Anticipation Guide
While answering these questions, one of them really caught my eye. When I came upon the statement that childhood friends are the most loyal, it made me think about my childhood friends and about how they weren't always there for me. Of course I disagreed with the statement, but it really made me think about my best friends from when I was younger, most of whom I don't even speak to anymore. I have to tell you that I am a very vulnerable, gullible person, and my friends knew it. I would often be misled into believing stories that I should have known would only make our friendship weaker. Sometimes they "forgot" to invite me to a birthday party, or they invited me and acted like I was just someone who was forced to go, but not initially invited. One friend, (from another town) in order to gain popularity status with her friends, decided to prank call me. At this time, me and another best friend were starting to get more distant, it was breaking me in every way possible. My other friend, let's call her Jane, knew about the situation and how much it hurt me. I thought I could trust her with my life, but she proved me wrong when her and her friends pretended to be my old friend, and we'll call her Mary, on the phone. They made me believe that Mary missed me and wanted to hang out. I ended up making a fool out of myself, because I later called Mary and she acted like we were never friends and she would never want to hang out with me. After that day, we didn't talk much. I forgave her, but it just wasn't the same. We haven't spoken in 4 years now. Jane was my absolute best friend, we went to the same pre-school together, automatically becoming best friends. We went to dance lessons together for 3 years, our parents were friends, we both and little sisters. It seemed like we would be best friends forever, however, she was the one friends that ended up betraying me the most. The whole point of this story was to prove that even the best childhood friends can grow up to hurt you. I don't think it happens with all childhood friends, but I think we would be jumping to conclusions if we said that all friends that you grow up with are the most loyal.
