Now, like everyone has their own problems, I have my own problems, and the most significant problem was my life. It depended on my friends. I had a lot of friends when I was young; I'm still young, but when I was 14 or 15 years old, I had many friends. However, after a month, I saw their true faces. All of the friends, they... I can't date their friends. They just... how can I say... they were like burglars, you know? They were with me just for my money. After I realized this, I told all my friends that I would never be with them again. Then they said, 'Okay, go. Nobody is telling you to be with us.' After that, my heart broke. Then, after this problem, I solved it. How? I just sat down in a dark room, listened to music, and thought about it. Why do I need friends? How can they help me in my life? I thought deeply and told myself, 'Never, never, never believe in your friends. Not today.' Now, I have a lot of friends, but not their girls. The boys are the best friends; they can always be with you. They're always there for you. It's better than friendships with girls.
