Welcome back, readers. Today's blog post is about a general topic. Friendship. Sounds boring? Well, hang on because we're gonna go through the different types of friendships you might experience in your lifetime.


1. The we-can-talk-but-I'm-not-your-friend Friendship


These are the type of friends that you meet at random or bump into or be forced to work together at school even though you're not in the same class. These "friends" won't wave to you when you walk by them, in fact, they won't even acknowledge you unless you're in class. Warning: These are not in the classmates' category.


2. The Backup Friends


When your actual friend ditches you or doesn't come to school that day, you're back up friends got you. These friendships remain stable, and they're always good to look up to. Don't lie. You have them too.


3. The Ex BFF Friendship


Aaaahhh yes. That friendship. Remember that person you were friends with back in grade 4. Yeah, the one you aren't friends with now. Yeah, that one. It's usually the ones you don't wanna be friends with again cause their devilsome 9-year-old self just didn't like you and got better friends. This friendship is kinda wonky. Both of you know you were friends before, but times changed. Let's just say that if you too were put into a room, you'd become friends again eventually. I think. It doesn't work all the time. And beware: As you grow older, these friendships can turn to poison really quickly. Now it just depends on when you're too old and when the poison starts to brew. If you know what I mean.


4. The Classmate Friendship


Yes. This is my personal favourite. This one works with everyone unless you're the evil queen type. Then...........stop reading. It's those ones that last just as long as the academic year. Yeah. But after the year is over these ones are long gone.


5. The Starter Pack Friendship


When you first shift to a new school, these are most probably the friends you'll have. They're like the starter pack. They'll come up to you, maybe say" hello" and there you go. These are gonna be your pals and guides until you get real friends. Most of the time{and I speak from experience} these are gonna be your besties, but sometimes, not so much. For a fact, since I've experienced being the new kid, I'll always be the starter pack for all the new kids. So if you ever find a person in your school that's new, go ahead and be their starter pack. Believe me. It's not the best, spending time all alone at school. Help them out.


6. The Hi-bye Friendship


This is the friendship you'll have with people you occasionally see, have no relevance to, but have talked to them before and awkwardly say "hi" as you pass each other in the hallway. Pssst.....some of them will bluntly ignore you, so beware of "acid in the hallway":}


7. The Unresolved Friendship


When you're explaining to someone what went wrong in your friendship with one of your best friends, and you end your explanation with this" and then she just left me.......", its when you realize that you've just concocted an unresolved friendship. It'll always end so suddenly. This friendship isn't the one where you have a massive fight of "you did this, and you did that" but you never really know why they stopped talking to you, and most of the time, the other person doesn't know the reason either. No one really knows what happened but you know, dramatic purposes. Oh well what a shame, and to think y'all were such good friends.


8. The Best Friend Friendship


Rare. Exquisite. Practically one in a million. The gems. These ones can sometimes turn really rotten, but when they're there, they're you're extra lifelines. But don't always depend on having one of these friendships, they're not so common. What can I say? The knife hurts the most in the back.


And last but certainly not least, the one with the many awards and the one that tops this post off, give a round of applause for the one, the only, the most anticipated...


9. The ToXiC 'Friendship'??


I guarantee you 100% that you'll always, and I mean always have one of these friendships. The cheaters. The trash talkers. The backbiters. The deadly. The obnoxious. The bully. The offensive and pure evil. You know being friends with them for a week if they're one of the toxic. The toxic aren't backstabbers they're mostly the ones who stab you right in front of your eyes. If they openly tell you about your bad interests or the faulty way you do everyday things and they indirectly make you question your personality, its time to toss them. If you're one yourself, then you might want to rethink...YOU! There are lots of different types of toxic, but I'd rather not talk about it. Just saying... besides, someone ever told you monsters arent real? They are. And as a matter of fact...they look awfully similar...


And with that I come to the end of my post. No matter what sort of friends you have, cherish them for when they were or if they're now, except for the toxic friendships. You might want to toss those.


Thanks for reading!
