Sacrifices.

Hey Everyone! This is my first proper post and I am basically going to talk about my opinion on sacrifices 
So firstly, think about you, you individually, why do you have friends? 
I've listed up some reasons.

• So you aren't alone or you don't look like a loner 
• so you have some one to talk to 
• just for fun
• you really and truly do have a connection with your friends and you love them.

Okay so for me its the first 3. I always think that, i have friends to speak to and i will obviously be there for them and do anything that is possible for them, but there is a line for me. I have only one friend that I'd actually get into serious trouble at school for, she is the only person i would make that sacrifice for because i have known her all my life. I don't come from the wealthiest background, so i go to school TO LEARN. Think about it, theres only one in a million friends that stay friends from nursery (kindergarten) all the way to uni (college). Yes, you do find that good friend once in a while but it doesn't always happen. I'd like to leave school with degrees and not have messed it up due to peer pressure and friends. So my first point is focus on your education more than friends, yes it fun to have friends, but at the end of the day. Would you rather go to school for what 20 years and leave with nothing and be the popular Queen B? all those hours of learning gone down the drain? or would you rather leave with good qualifications, even if you didn't make the grades you wanted, you can leave school knowing that you tried, you might not have many friends in the end but then after school is when you have the opportunity to network and meet new people. Even when you are in the work place the same morals apply. Think about how good the friend is and how big the sacrifice you are making.
The next point I am trying to make is think about the person before you make a sacrifice for them. I have made a lot of stupid sacrifices, I have got in so much trouble for one person because i cared about them so much, but then i needed there help, they were gone.
NOW, i know this this is not always the case, some people are lucky enough to have really good friends and they don't need to listen to my advice. I hope you all find that perfect friend that you can depend on!
