Her. My best friend, my un-biological sister, the calmness of my drama. She has many titles to her name, well from me at least. But unfortunately, a bad friend is one of them. It all started last year. Our first year in a new school. Our first year in middle school. I can just remember how we were wishing things wouldn’t change. But they did This past year my very best friend has treated me like dirt. I was not the wind beneath her wings, but the dirt beneath her feet. She has treated me like a no-one. She has pointed out my flaws, order me around like a slave, and embarrassed me to a point of no return. Yes, my parents know about it, and even some friends too but they do not confront her because they are waiting on someone, waiting on…show more content…I’m always wishing and hoping for it to come true, us going back to the way we were. But it hasn’t come true, and it won’t. I keep telling myself it’s just a phase and she’ll pass over it soon. But I’m only kidding myself. . I always thought when I was little, that we would be best friends forever. That she would be my maid of honor and I would be hers. That when we get older our children would be the best of friends, like us, and they would be happy which would make us happy. But every time I get on my cell phone and have the same repeated one-minute conversation I’m thinking that is less likely to be true I told her best friends forever and I meant it. Now I’m thinking that I want to rip her to shreds and then put her back together again just so she could be the dirt beneath my feet. But I don’t do it because I know I am her better half. But I can not be so sure about her being mine. As I am writing this I am thinking about my other friendships and how those friends are probably my better half but instead of choosing them, I’ll always choose her. I guess I’m too wrapped up in thinking about my horrible friendship that I’m not thinking about the way it can be fixed. I want to fix it. I also want to tell her what a horrible friend she has been and how I want nothing else but for us to break apart. But I don’t because I love her.

There are two types of friends in this world. The good and the bad. Depending on which one, they most likely affect one's feelings towards themselves and that friend (good or bad) in different ways. Since bad friends are less common than good friends in most situations this essay will be about bad friends.

It's probably been a lot of times that you've heard someone rant about their issue with their friend who doesn't respect them in some way. Either that or it's happened to you. I've experienced both and they didn't turn out well. When a friend doesn't respect your decisions or even well-being than it turns that friendship problematic and even toxic. Most times this comes in the form of a bad friend manipulating their other friend or putting their friend lower than them because of their so-called ego. When good friends do any of these things then that just means that they've changed and sometimes it's better to back off and let them do their own thing. In an article on Psychology Today a woman named Linda describes her bad friend experience saying, "We became strangers to each other, moving on with our very separate and different lives. I miss the closeness we once shared, but not the toxicity of that last year.” This quote shows that Linda had to move on despite their once good friendship due to the toxicity they shared.

Straying away from a bad friend could last temporarily or forever. Either way though, they both have their benefits. A temporary leave from that friendship could help the bad friend rehabilitate and think about their decisions. In an article on Romper, the author states that, "Just because you consider someone your friend doesn't mean that she's never going to bother you, disappoint you, or even hurt you. The key is understanding whether or not they intended to do so, and realizing how often these negative behaviors are occurring." (Fielder 2) Sometimes even thinking about how their behaviors could've occurred on your side may help because it may offer you a chance to rebuild that friendship. Other times though a forever ruined friendship can never be rebuilt. On another source named Bustle, the author of the article says, "The best thing we can do for ourselves is to move on and genuinely know in our hearts that we deserve better. While this is more easily said than done, it is essential for healing to begin." (Steber 10) Moving on can be a very hard thing to do considering it's been a long-time thing but it can benefit you even more. Not only would feeling bad about your friendship fade away at some point you would get to make new friends that make you feel even better.

So, in the end friendships may be something that can last through the toughest issues or they may just be a one time thing. Whatever the case, it's important to know whether or not you feel good with the friendship. Your feelings matter too in any sort of friendship so putting you first which you should, may be the most important thing to remember in everyday life.
