Well, never in my life that I experienced asking myself those questions above. I am never lonely. I have my COMPANIONS- my friends.
Yes, my friends, my real, true friends.
My friends are the one who shows me how good my life is. They are the main ingredient of my laughter. They are the doctors of my soul. They are my teachers of my wisdom.They are my power to move on. They are everything I need to fulfill my WHOLE.
Now, let’s get to the point.
A teenager is not a teenager without a FRIEND. Teenagers are like foods that needs ingredients. You are not identified a TEEN if you miss any ingredient of your life. You can never be called a teen without FRIENDS. Being a teenager doesn’t mean JUST being 13, 14, 15,16,17,18 and 19. It’s not about the age, it’s about the WHOLE. Age is just another ingredient.
Why do you need a FRIEND to become a teenager?
Let me tell you something that a WITH friends VS WITHOUT friends TEEN.
WITH friends:
A teenager has friends whom she can share her feelings, smiles and tears with. She can express herself with them and share what’s inside her heart that she can never share in her family. She can laugh with them that makes her forget her problems and her friends can help her solve the problem she is facing. She can cry in front of them and confide whatever problems she has. She can freely borrow their shoulders and cry ‘til the last tear drops.
WITHOUT friends:
That teenager has no one to share her feelings, smiles and tears. She can’t express her feelings to anyone that makes her heart burst out in pain. She’s like a fool talking to a weird doll or even a wall. She can never smile freely because no one shares her smile. She will absolutely look like a fool when she smiles for an unknown reason. She can never be comforted by someone because she has no shoulder to lean on. There will be no last drop in her tears because her tears will never stop.
That’s how I differentiate a no friend and a with friend teen. I will never consider a no friend person as a teenager because accordingly, a person NEEDS a friend to fully become a teenager.
So, don’t be too shy to have some. If you don’t have any, find some. Find someone whom you can trust and never doubt that friend. You need her anytime. If you still don’t have a friend (someone you can trust), then you’ll never become a FULL TEENAGER.
Let me tell you the good feeling of having a FRIEND.
Actually, I have tons of friends. But, I don’t trust all of them. I only trust my real, true bestfriends.
I have a group called SCANT which has a meaning behind. The first letter of our names are combined that formed SCANT.
I have the best group of all. The best pals of all. They are the ones whom I trust and I never doubted their loyalty and trust towards me. They are my guardian angel, they are my doctors, my power, my strength and everything. They never fail to complete my day. A day without them would really suck.
My friends are my whole. So, here I am, narrating some happy and sad events of our lives.
Laugh TIME
“Let’s watch movie at our house!”, my friend shouted. “Sure!”, we agreed. Then, we went there and watched movies together. “Waaaa! He’s so funny!” We all laughed out loud. “Ahahahahaha.”, my friend continued. “Hey! Stop laughing! There goes your monkey-like laugh!” “Ahahahahahha”. This ends the laughing. Friends are your laugh buddy. They are always there to laugh with you.
Fearsome TIME
“Gawd! I’m afraid to go home alone. It scares me. Let’s request the driver to send us all together. Let’s just pay him double!”my friend requested. “Sure thing!” When the drivers don’t accept our request, we just looked for another vehicle. While waiting, we saw a police-looking vehicle called wangwang. We hid at some bushes. We then realized that it wasn’t a wangwang. It’s just an ordinary vehicle! We all laughed. It made us feel better and we really forgot about being scared.Friends are like our savior in our fears.
Problematic TIME
“Guys, I think I lost my feelings for HIM.”, our friend admitted. “WHAAAAAATTTT???”, we reacted. One of my friends made a decision to gather us all 5 to talk about my friend’s problem. Since its summer, we met really often. So it’s time for us to update on each other’s life. “Girl, don’t do anything you aren’t sure. Maybe you just often see him that’s why you thought you lost your feelings for him. Just be strong. He’s a good catch anyway. You’ll turn gold into a stone. You’ll regret someday.” we suggested. “Geee! Thanks guys!”Friends erase our doubts and problems.
-ENDS
I am new in this group of friends. They are friends since elementary and I am just a new comer. But, I am happy to be trusted right away. I am honored to be welcomed in the group. I am happy that I accepted them as my friends because I’ll never be what I am now without them.
That would be all. Fill your teenage life with one of the ingredients – FRIENDS. Live your life to the fullest with them and thank God for having them.
