Classification Essay!

Growing up I have met so many different people, people who may stay in my life forever and even people who have went out of my life forever. The people who stay in my life I classify as my friends. I have many different types of friends, and a couple of different group’s that I would classify them. There is three main groups that I classify all of the people in my life. Which are as followed, “icky-okay”, “yah- hang out once in a blue moon” and my absolute “best “friends. I classified my friends in these categories depended on how close I am to these people and how often I see and speak to all of them. When I classify these people I start to think about who I would call my family; who I would trust the most and who is there when I need someone to talk to and vent to.
The “Icky-okay” friends are the ones who I am acquaintances with. I don’t make a effort to make sure I talk to them daily. I talk to them when it’s basically convent for me. I have all quite a few who I call just acquaintances. For example, there were these two girls who I use to be best friends with until I hit high school and everything changed. We had our problems and went our separate ways. We don’t hate each other but we just don’t make an effort or go out of our ways to talk to each other. We talk to each other when we bump into each other at school or at a store. I also put people in this group because it’s not someone who I would sit down and spill all my secrets too, because I don’t trust them worth a dime. For example, girls that I have known since I was in first grade and maybe talked to ten times in the last four years I would just sent right down and be like “Yeah, so last night I went to a party and met this great guy. We got pretty close last night...” I wouldn’t tell girls that I don’t talk to these things because they are the type of girls who like drama. If they know something so doesn’t the rest of the school. People like this get on my nerves easily, actually easier than most people. For instance, girls and even boys who are cocky and think that they are all that annoy me. I hate people who think they are better than you and everyone else. I am not like these people at all. I get along with everyone and not judge them by how the dress, how they act, or how much money they have like the jocks in my school. I say that these people are my “icky-okay” friends because we are opposites, we just don’t click. These type of people and me just aren’t meant to be friends, and we never will be.
The “yah-hangout once in a blue moon” friends are the girls and boys that I talk to in school but don’t make an effort to really hang out with outside of school or even really talk to outside of school. I don’t make an effort to talk and hang out with these people outside of school because a lot of these people don’t make the best decisions outside of school and I don’t really want to be part of that. For instance, some of these people I talk to and hang out with inside of school like to party a lot, smoke weed, and get in trouble with the police often. I don’t like to judge people so I give them a chance. I trust these people with little things that I may keep away from my mom and dad but I wouldn’t trust them with something that has to do with problems that my boyfriend and I have or things that had to do with getting in trouble with the police. A lot of these people that I classify in this group went down the wrong path in life and I separated my self from the mess. For example, I use to hang out with this one particular girl all the time. We use to be inseparable until she decided she was going to start partying, smoking weed and trying other things. I didn’t agree with the actions that she picked up in her life, so I took my self out of the position of putting my body in danger. I still talk to her in school and hang out with her in school and at school dances after football games but I don’t go to her house and she don’t come to mine anymore. These people still mean a lot to me, but they don’t pick up the roles of what a best friend is to me.
My “best” friends are the girls and boys who I have told everything to, shared great memories with and had many laughs with. These people know me like a book. They know me inside and out. These people can look at me and tell that there is something wrong, even if there is no expression being shown. For example, I came into school one day and before I could even sit down Amber; my best friend asked me what was wrong. She could tell by the way I was dressed that I was upset about something and made me talk about what was going on. I trust these people with my life. I know that if I ever need to talk about something that I can go to these people and know that the whole school won’t know what happened last night or the night before. I have two main best friends in my life and that would be my boyfriend Michael and my friend Amber. These two are family to me. They have been here for me through thick and thin. They both know what exactly to say to make me feel better and be the Katie that I truly am. I would be lost without these people in my life, and I honestly don’t think I would be the person I am today without them.
Everyone has different categories that you would classify your friends in. Just because you put people in categories doesn't mean you hate them, or that they haven’t impacted your life in some way but it just means that you have some people that are closer to you than others. For instance, your acquaintances are people that you may have known forever but don’t make an effort to go up to out of the blue and talk to them. Your friends are there for you, even if they don’t make the best decisions in their lives. Best friends are your brother and sister’s from another mother. My two best friends are my family; there just not another person out in the crowd.
