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.
I had a very best friend of 7 years. She made a string of bad decisions ultimately damaging relationships within our immediate friend group. When faced with the consequences of her actions she did not self reflect, but rather asked me to pick her side so she wasn’t alone in the chaos. I put up a boundary for the first time in our entire friendship, and it translated to her as a closed door. Never spoke again.9
