Friend, Not Faux

Published: December 14, 2011

The word friend has one obvious meaning. A friend is someone you know you can count on.

Friends do not use you for their own five minutes of fame. Friends should like you for you, not your popularity. This has become an issue here at North as film crews have been roaming our hallways. Just because they are here doesn’t mean you should befriend people you would have never talked to.

If you’re a fake friend, you need to stop it. If you are a person who uses someone for what they have to offer, you should be shunned to a deserted island. It is not okay to use someone like that, just because you might be on TV. I don’t understand the need to stir up this drama. If this is your goal in life, then you need to rethink your priorities.

At the end of the day, you won’t have any real friends and that won’t make you happy. TV show or not, you should never be a fake friend.
