It really saddens me to think about my friend from my youth..Most of them are still living in thoes times,and have not grown up much at all. Most of my friends from my youth didn't have normal lifes,we were in foster care for one reason or another or we just had some parents that did some really messed up things in which in some instance effected the way we grew... My best friend from middle school I hear is addicted to heroin,and last year her 2 kids father was shot and killed..The last time I talk to her he had been in jail for selling crack.. And then just a little while ago,another friend/sister posted a video on her face book of a fight that broke out in her back yard today between what looked like friends and neighbors...started with two guys and led into a fight between girl and one with a bottle broken of her head.blood was everywere....and she posted this on fb..Meaning she sat their and watched and video taped this the entire time...seriously!? One friend/sister usually has nothing to say other then she isnt happy with her life and all her friends stab her in the back and how she cant trust people n e more.. It really is so sad.. I wish my friends could have atleast made it out semi-normal. but I guess were all not that lucky... What about your friends from your youth? are you still in contact with them? how have they changed since you last seen them?...Are you as close as befoe or do you wish you could be as close as you were?... My friend from middle school,I wish everyday she could have had a better life,I blame it all on her parents and thinking back she really had no chance in a better life seeing what she seen growing up and gone through what she has had to go through.. I really wish we could be closer now like we were in middle school but as much as I want that I just can not get myself involved in such affairs...I wish the best for her everyday...

Yeah that does tend to be the case with many people. I think that some people are on the road to making something of themselves. And for other people, it seems like they haven't changed much. And not in a good way. It is not in a good way at all, as they tend to succumb to the worst things in life and for many times, they had not matured past high school level. It is a rather bad thing as it is hard to help these people, for when they are just unable to pull themselves right together to any kind of degree. I hope that everything does work out rather well for people, even if I had rather not known them that well. If they are friends, it does hurt but hearing that people you know fall on hard times in general, it really does strike rather closely to home.
