“Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing”
-Benjamin Franklin
(1706-1790)

When Benjamin Franklin say " Be slow choosing a friend, and slower i changing, is that you have to pick your friends wisely, you need to get to know the person, think about if he is going to be a good friend or not, and how you might need him in your life and how much you can get along.
I completely agree with it, because its true, you can think someone is your friend just because you guys talk and he or she are backstabbers. You should be able to trust your friend and i dont think anyone would want to trust a person they know nothing about, it's common sence.
For example there's this girl that i know and we use to go to the same school in Haiti. When i had just met we were talking and i taught she was my friend, but it wasnt the case. She was just trying to get my friends and be like me, she was jealous of what i had and what i was, until one day we got in a huge fight, and it became general because the fight did not stay limited between me and her it was me and my friends against her and hers.
So we had like a war going on. Until the day my parents decided to make me move here. It was ok, since i still knew everything that was going on,but that only made her hate me more, because at one point that was the only thing our generation was talking about.
One day she got kidnapped, and the day after they released her, she also moved to Miami, and went to school with one of my best friends, having common friends here we started seing each other alot, she was coming to our get to geters and then joined the same dance group as me. We went to the pool one day, and started talking again and decided to put the past behind, grow up and move on. My best friends from Haiti told me talking to her was a bad idea but i told them it was ok, and she had changed and grown up.
I was just wrong. After a while she started over with the same foolishness and imaturity that had made us fight the first time. So now we just plane dont talk anymore and i dont care what happens were still not going to talk, even if we have to live in the same house.
