Be Friendly, Think wisely
By Nikki Jasmine R. Rodriguez
" No man is an island." - that is the quote that we can remember because everyday, we have friends who cared for us. Being friendly is important for us to unite, love each other, respect each other, etc. We need to express laughter to others by playing, chatting, and making jokes that is funny to all of us.
But in this generation, people changed. They are fighting each other, teasing, making fun of others or they bully them if they committed a mistake, and etc. Sometimes, they are kind outside but they are cruel inside. They are whispering each other. In my opinion, we need to think wisely and choose your friends that are true to themselves. We need to choose who is/are deserved to be your friend.
This generation, our friends changed because others influenced them. They will change by teaching them and also it is based from the personalities he/she got from his/her friends, parents, brothers/sisters, and other people around us. Sometimes, they threatening them to do their task easily in a bad/good way. And sometimes, they treating us like a slave that they commanded us.
They are not helping but also they go nearly to you if they need things to you. Why they are doing this? Is that a true friend? What are the problems did you get to do this to your friend/s? Did you deserved to be their friend? What are the problems did you got in this generation?
We got problems about friendship this generation. We have two reasons on why we got problems about friendship. We are influenced by the series/movies we watch in the TV or cinema and because of the internet because first, in watching a series/cinemas, we know that there is a protagonist and antagonist. They fight each other or having affairs. I think, they are influenced by the antagonist because the role of antagonist was to destroy the role/feelings of others. And second, In the internet or other websites, we have a thing that we called social media. This is where cyber crime was held. It is where others chat together and destroy the relationship between the person and the other person they hate.
In this situation, we encountered the solution. First, we need to avoid chatting with others who destroyed you. Second, we need to leave in the group. Third, we need to be friendly to others even they are destroying you. Last, if you have space, forgive them if necessary.
If they committed a mistake/s to you, forgive them to decrease problems. If we choose a friend, think wisely because if not, we will considered ourselves as a coward because you don't know that they destroy you. If we have a problems between you and your friend/s, ask your parents, or your teacher because friends never leave together.
