Definition: “the way in which two or more concepts, objects, or people are connected, or the state of being connected” -Google Dictionary So just think, basically you have a relationship with anyone you have interacted with. That means we all have a shit ton of relationships… friends, family, teachers, etc.- the list goes on forever. They can be great and positive but a lot of the time you may find that you have plenty of negative relationships for stupid little reasons that just sit there. Especially when you have petty and annoying immature people involved, so high school right? It seems as if you need way more positive relationships to outweigh the negative ones. Thats why its so important that you do your best to not piss people off for no reason, because the negative relationships have way more of an effect on you then the positive ones. Relationships just seem to get harder as we grow up, but i'm hoping they eventually get easier. When we were little it was great, we had a best friend or two and literally anyone could be our new best friend after a minute. As school continues our friend groups change and people do mean stuff to people or people over react and it just turns into a never ending shit show. There is literally a million things that you could do or not do to piss someone off and a great relationship that you depend on can go right down the drain. But there is normally some time to fix things but that is when so many people do the wrong thing out of anger or other emotions and that relationship could end indefinitely. Or you do the right thing and get pass whatever happened and you become closer and understand one another better. This is just too complicated. “The better you know yourself, the better your relationship with the rest of the world” -Toni Collette I guess that why friendships and relationships at young ages are so complicated? Who knows, just blame it on the hormones. And not to be sexest or anything but why are girls friendships so petty and complicated!!! That I still don’t understand, but here is a great blog to look at if you care to venture into that scary subject. Relationships have so much of an effect on us. They can control our lives or our moods and even other relationships. They can lead us to great depression and misery and confusion or be the reason we overcome such things in our lives. On the other hand they can be the best thing in the world. Those people who you love so much and bring you so much happiness to your life can be the most important things in ones life. So many people take so many relationships that they have for granted, and that truly is one of the saddest facts. Such fragile things that can mean the world to us or be the end of our world. That's your choice. You chose if you are going to remain hateful. You chose to forgive or forget. You chose what to dwell on. You chose who is in your life. You might not always make the best decision at the time but you can chose to learn from those mistakes.
Relationships are an amazingly important thing for us. So take a while and look at yours, it could change your life. You have the power to change them for the better and worse. Use that power appropriately. Matthew F

I love this blog because it makes people realize that sometimes they’re actually watering a dead plant and need to get themselves out of that situation and find a healthy friendship

This piece of writing is something that I can relate to and something that I connect to. I like the example of when we are little kids. It is funny that we can make friends that easy.

Totally get how relationships can effect us in whole; when there is a certain situation involving the people you love, it is impossible to simply ignore it and move on without attempting to somewhat make amends (unless the person is a total snob, you will have a difficult time with isolation). One hundred percent agree that girls friendships are petty and complicated!

This blog was really well written and easy for me to read! It really reminded me to reflect on all the relationships I have in my life. I need to consider each and every relationship I have, and realize if it is worth me maintaining and building.

I think the reason why little kids can make friends at all time but we can't is that as we grow up we tent to lost in ourselves. Just like the quote you used said by Toni Collette, if we don't even understand our self then who will?

its so true how as you get older its harder to find friends because as a kid you have so many great friends that never try to hurt you in anyway, but as time goes on people who relate to you and enjoy the same things as you starts to narrow down, that's why adults usually have a smaller but more secure friend group, because they found people who are so alike them and they've had longer time to find those kind of people.

I agree as kids it was so easy to make friends, but in high school its harder since people are more picky towards what they want in a friend, and only the strong, and true relationships will last.

This was very relatable but also quite blunt at the same time so it was fun and interesting to read. I agree with you when you said "girls friendships are so petty and complicated", because It's completely true! I can't answer that question though, girls are generally just more dramatic and have shitty friendships. Good structure and hook at the beginning because it made me think about what you were saying. Good job.

i think my favourite sentence in your blog post is the last one "Use that power appropriately." of course that can be used for everything you have even a little bit of control over however friends and other people you see every or almost everyday is especially important. remembering you can have a big impact on someone, for better or for worse is so important, and this was a wonderful post about it.
