Generation X? I pity us.

**PLEASE FORGIVE HOW AWKWARDLY THIS IS WRITTEN. IT’S 12:40 AS I LAY IN BED TYPING AND MY NERVES ARE JUST SETTLING**

I just had a run in with a stupid teenage experience. Let me tell you about it.

Kendall~ my best girl
Max~ her ex. They have been over for one month and two days, now three, after a year and 4 month relationship.
Evelyn~ the new girlfriend of his and also the skeeze who pretended to be Kendall’s friend and then went behind her back and got with Max.

Okay, so I have this friend named Kendall. She’s near and dear to my heart. Just recently her now ex-boyfriend ended their relationship. Why? He’s a hole. Well, that’s just my opinion…

I’ve been telling Kendall for a while now that something has been going on between Max and Evelyn for some time but she refused to believe me; ever since the break-up Evelyn was at her house when she needed her, making cake or bringing her flowers or spending a day with her to comfort her. Basically Evelyn was playing her part of the caring friend well. Kendall had her suspicions but mostly she was under the impression that Evelyn wouldn’t dare turn her back on the friendship they had created. I feel like I’m getting a head of myself…Rewind:

A few months ago Evelyn came into our lives. She was a new student and needed a place to call her circle of friends (from what I understood). So potato patato, we welcomed her. Soon after, some drama started with boyfriends and enemies were created. Well, right about when people started hating her, she befriended Max. They hit it off amazingly well and became as inseparable as possible seeing as how he had a girlfriend. *Side Note: I just wanna say I saw this one coming a LONG time before it showed up.** They started hanging out an awful lot and towards the end of K&M, Max started blowing off Kendall because he "already made plans with Evelyn" and "didn’t want to cancel them". **SN: Like I said earlier, he’s a hole.**

To the closer past, if that makes any sense, Kendall and Max ended their relationship a few hours over a month ago and now Evelyn is dating Max. Kendall just found out tonight. From Evelyn. Before Evelyn was her only ride to Harry Potter tonight. Where Max would be also. Evelyn brought Kendall flowers as an apology…flowers.

Correct me if I’m wrong guys, but should a friend do that to her so-called-friend? Evelyn was there when Kendall cried her soul out over Max. Good Lord, they had only been broken up a little over a month! Maybe I’m only seeing one side but when I approached Evelyn about it after the movie tonight (yes it got ugly) she wasn’t doing too well of a job at defending herself. And believe me, I’m a small girl, she has at LEAST five inches and a few pounds over me. I’m SMALL my friends. But my words were powerful. And I didn’t speak trashy, there was no cursing involved. My words were sharp and to the point. I stood my ground and made her look like a fool. Only when my other friend Tay (who Evelyn despises) came around did Evelyn drive off cussing.

Someone please tell me how what they are doing is fair. Why are some people so incredibly selfish? Who are we but animals if we can’t simply live among one another without hurting anyone? Why is it so hard to care how another may feel?

Is it childish of me to wish that there are better people out there? Am I simply being naive or is there hope for my idiotic generation? The selfish, take what I want and give nothing back generation. Personally, I am ashamed to be a part of something so low. 

So help me God if I run into another Evelyn.

People suck, plain and simple, I think. There is going to be awful trash in any generation, who take advantage of others for their own gain. I don’t think it has much to do with what generation one is born into. I think it’s always been a problem. 🙁

One thing “kids” learn as they grow up is that young love is just that…young love. It comes and goes. At that age “kids” are still trying to be love and accepted and end up compromising things which make them uncomfortable in the long run. It makes it harder when the circle of friends are smaller. You end up switching partners of friends. With age I respect my friends and not date their exes.

ryn….the best way to get away from high school drama is to start finding older mature people to hang out with. Start learning how adults spend their extra time and do them kind of things. Which means you should be losing most of your high school friends. It’s like being born again, but with new friends and less drama.

That is just horrible..You know I was put in a similar situation with my ex best friend. The thing is she had stopped doing things with me and made her boyfriend the center of her world. Months later I had just started going out with Jake and her boyfriend texted me telling me he wanted to be with me and I told her that too and she didnt’ believe me, soon enough they eventually broke up a couple

of months later and right after there breakup he was texting me again asking me if I would be with him instead of Jake and I just couldn’t ya know? We might have no longer been good friends anymore but I couldn’t just hurt her like that cause I still cared about her and there was Jake too. So yeah I hope your friend is okay…give her lots of hugs she’ll need them.
