Essay Question

Please describe a friend breakup you have gone through. If you haven't gone through a friend breakup, please explain why you think you have never gone through a friend breakup. Outline a major friendship in your life and explain why it is successful.

In recently memory the only major “friendship break up” I went through was about a year ago, during the summer before Senior year I believe. My best friend, from middle up until this point, had reposted an Instagram post onto his story. I was scrolling through stories on autopilot when I came across his story, and without pay attention, slid up and said “who is this bro”. I know that looks really bad, but, as soon as I realized what I had done I tried to DM him and explain, but it was too late. Haven’t spoken with him since. A lot of my friends agree that, although bad and inexcusable, my actions didn’t have bad intent and agree it was an accident.
Honestly all of my best friends outline “major friendships” in my life. All of them I’ve known them for years and they just like me for who am I. We just have similar interest and I love my friends so we stay friends.

(Sorry for only 200 words I’m bad at expression and story telling 😭)
