Backstabbers are never good friends. They are never your true friend either. Some people just don't get that. If you are a true friend, you'd stand up for your friend if shit was being talked about them, and you wouldn't agree with the ones saying stupid shit like that! They don't know how to keep good friends. Those types of people only want to be at the top of the social group, but in the end, nobody is their true friend because they don't do anything to support their "friends". They just want to be known as the popular kid, the one who knows everybody. Guess what? That's not what life is all about. It's about getting the best of friends, the ones who you can always count on, the ones who are always there for you, stand up for you, and most of all, don't stab you in the back!! They don't lie to your face! They don't deny their wrongs! They say Sorry and you forgive them, but if that person is a backstabber, you want nothing to do with them! Don't make that terrible mistake of forgiving them once again. They're just going to end up hurting you again! You can only trust your true friends.
I'm not sure if any of you have experienced this, but it's a terrible thing to go through. You can give second and third chances, but third strike and they're out. Don't give them another chance to hurt you. You will know if they are truly sorry, but most of the time, they just don't want to lose someone, even if they don't care about them (obviously if they keep backstabbing you), because they didn't know what they had until they lost it, and then they want it back, and then they forget how powerful it can be, and they end up losing it again.
My experience with this has made me realize that you must chose your friends carefully, and if you don't, you will be hurting a lot. My once good friend (and I never would have guessed she would do this to me, but SUPRISE!) has back stabbed me multiple times, but I haven't always known. She's talked behind my back (and to my other good friends at that) and then my REAL friends tell me what she said, so I confront her about it, and she LIES TO MY FACE! I catch her on the spot, and she still denies it. She hurts my other friend who she got into a fight with last summer, but still, it doesn't give her the right to hurt her. It pisses me off when people won't admit that what they did was wrong. That's the first step to being a good friend who is worth forgiving; to be able to admit that you've made mistakes. We are humans. We make mistakes. All we have to do is admit them, learn from them, and move on with our lives. But some people apparently can't do that. I'm through with her. I can't ever trust her again. I will never forgive her, unless she truly sees what she did was wrong and why. The song "Don't trust me" by 3OH!3 was right. You can't trust a hoe, never trust a hoe, you can't trust me (in this case my "Friend" as we were once called). You have to follow your gut and trust your instincts. If someone smells fishy to you, take precautions and don't trust at first. You can trust enough to believe, but don't trust enough so they can't hurt you.
I'm sorry if this was stupid, but I had to rant about it somehow, and every time I try and talk about it, I get all pissed off and angry, and then I'm in a stupid crabby mood and then I piss other people off, and I don't want to do that. Thanks for listening, and I'm sorry if I wasted your valuable time with this.
