Autobiographical Narrative Final DraftAutobiographical Narrative Final Draft
Have you ever had a conflict with a friend that ended badly? Well I have. When I was 12, I started going to a new school, living in a new neighborhood, and meeting new people... “I was not always that fond on meeting new people”. I thought as I walked to school on my first day that I would not survive because of having experiences of being bullied. That was not until I met Keke. She, in my honest opinion, was the best person that ever lived. When my first friend Jennifer introduced me to Keke, I was the happiest person alive on earth. After being friends for roughly six months we had a conflict with each other.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Friday I will never forget. Keke and I waited after school to get picked up by her parents to go over to her house so we could hang out. The conflict that we had was that I had some troubles respecting her secrets that she told me, which had given me some consequences with the situation. It all started out when Keke invited me to her house. We went to her room, started talking and sharing secrets. Some of the things she told me were pretty intense. She told me how her family abused her, she had problems with her girlfriend cheating on her, and that she had stabbed somebody before. I still do not know why she told me all those things, but she did. I also thought that since I never really had a friend before, maybe I could be there for the real friend I would actually get to keep.

One Wednesday in the middle of math class this girl named Clarrissa, who happened to usually be mean to me, was actually being nice. I do not know what I was thinking but Clarrissa and I were in the back of math class whispering to each other about Keke and her secrets. While I was determined on telling her the precious information, I noticed her facial expression; she happened to be very surprised. We were talking until the teacher separated us. After class, Clarrissa went and told other people what I just told her about Keke’s situations which made me feel guilty. It made me realize that I was very wrong for telling her Keke’s secrets.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I woke up that Saturday morning in an upright bolt, I was panting because of the terrible nightmare I just witnessed. My nightmare was reflected on my choices by not respecting my friends privacy.This left me to face multiple consequences. When I talked to Keke she told me that I could not hang out with her and that she would not forgive me. Eventually I went to school the next day and found out that not only Keke and my friends hated me, but almost the whole entire campus did. After school I felt guiltier then I ever had before.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I realized that I was innocent and very wrong to hurt my friend like that. When I think about what I did to Keke, I always feel terrible. I will never hurt any of my friends ever again, even if my life depended on it. If you want to know what my controlling impression was, I felt I was innocent and ignorant. Now that I have become more compassionate and understanding, I have matured and learned from the situation. I happened to hurt my best friend by spreading rumors about her and that left me with consequences to deal with. The experiences of this situation made me realize not to go over peoples boundaries and how to choose my friends wisely.
