The truth - surprisingly - doesn't always hurt.

One of my closest friends spun me a lie the other day that i truly believed. She asked me to call her tonight, so i did. When i was on the phone to her she admitted to me that she'd been lying and apologised over and over. She was crying and was obviously disappointed in herself.

It's strange, because even though I was proud of her when i believed the lie - i wasn't disappointed when I heard the truth.

You'd think that when a person you love tells you the truth and it's something nobody would want to be true that you would be upset with them. But this time - with this person - it was the opposite. I think that maybe the fact that she was so upset with herself made me feel differently than what would be expected.

The truth is; she is what she is. I can't change that. And I don't think I'd want to. I cherish the relationships I've made in my life. I'm not going to let something that is in actual fact nothing to do with me jeopardise that. It's all in the past. All I'm interested in now is the future :)

At fifeen years old I feel as if I have matured beyond my years. I know that I will look back in a few years time at myself at this age and think that I was so young at fifteen - just how my friends and I look back at ourselves a few years ago, and know we were extremely immature. Even though this is true, I still feel like I am so much more grown up than alot of the people in my year. My peers acting like idiots and being immature must be the main reason that I want to leave and get on with my life away from the people that obviously have a problem with me - and for no real reason.

Only a year left of Secondary School. Wooh Wooh!! :)

I know it's going to fly by :)

I'm not being judgemental - some people do have legitimate reasons for being unemployed - but how can human beings that are physically and mentally able to work, not? How can a person just sit on their backsides all day every day, claiming benefits and not do a decent days work their whole lives?

I, of course can not predict my future, but do feel, in my present mindset that I would be bored stiff staying indoors all day on my own. I believe that having a job/career is not simply about making money - it is just as importantly about practising social skills and meeting new and interesting people.

Without being in the world of work, how can one be expected to keep up to date in their outlook on life and their knowledge of the diverse world we live in?

Also, if a child is born into and grows up being influenced by parents that have never done a days work - where is the child's incentive to go out and get a job when they are old enough? There would be almost no reason in their minds for them not to live a comfortable life in a council house and claiming benefits.

To state it plainly, I believe that being employed and having job-satisfaction is beneficial for any person.
