“Between Innocence and Wisdom”

Mom  :  At school,

              There are three types of friends you must avoid at all cost, okay ?

Kid   :   Which ones, mom ? 

Mom :  First, Those who lie frequently. 

              for example, they say....

             "I've already studied" when it is not true. Or "don't worry, the teacher will never                      notice". These kind of people make you lose trust .... and can drag you into doing                  the wrong things. Over time, by spending so much time with them, you might                        adopt their bad habits without even realizing it. 

Kid    :  Oh, okay mom.

Mom  :  Second, those who constantly compare themselves and show off......

    for example "your phone is is so old..... mine is the latest model. Or "Do you really                think you can be as good as me ?". These kind of people make you fell                                      uncomfortable, pressure you, and push you to constantly seek other's approval.                     "True friendship is never based on superiority." 

Kid    :    Okay mom.

Mom  : Third,those who only talk to you when they need something from you. When they                need help with homework, they smile and act kind but the rest of time, they                          complete ignore you. Friendship is not manipulation. If someone only comes to                    you when it's convenient for them it's better to walk away. 

Kid     :  Mom what if I already have friends like that?

 

Mom  : Then it's not too late to choose better.

Kid     : Okay, mom.

          

                

                         " A real friend never lies to you, never shows off, and 

                           never uses you. So choose your friend wisely. share 

                            this with your son or daughter. A small lesson that 

                           can shape a big part of their life."
