Best of Friends

By Naz, 14, London, UK

The day I talked to you was the day I realised,
You are a friend sent from paradise.
When we met, it felt like we've known for ages,
And our friendship is as deep as the Ganges.

You're the only friend, with whom my secrets are entrusted,
And I know you'll keep them until the last.
Being with you is the best hangout,
Cos you're not someone who over everything is gonna shout.

Every moment we spend together is blissful,
With you being so nice and careful.
It's hard to find someone like you,
Who's confident, sympathising and true.

From everything special that I treasure,
You're the one I keep in my heart at leisure.
No one has a friendship like ours in the planet,
Which is that long kept.

The day I talked to you was the day I realised,
Without you, there'd be no life.
And in the world's most amazing place rest,
Us, the friends who are best.
(April 2007)

Best Friends

By Sarah, 11, Canada

My best friend is my bestest friend ever.
When she is mean I say "WHATEVER!"
She is cool.
And of course not a fool.
I'm a cutie.
She's a beauty.
We will never be just friends.

The Best Life

By Kayla, 9, Gurnee, USA

Once upon a time there was a girl named Miley who always got what she wanted but she wasn't a brat she was very nice she has a lot of friends. They always wanted to be with her. If Miley ever had plans she would say sorry I have other plans, do you wanna play? So if she ever couldn't play with the person she would say do you wanna play in one big group and she isn't a person who goes ha ha I won or starts crying if she loses: she was just very perfect. Then it was her birthday and she could only invite 20 of her friends so she had 2 parties that were exactly the same but they were different people. She didn't care about the presents she just loved being with her friends!!! She has a mom named Destiny and a dad named Zac they were also very nice. Whenever her friends needed help she always helped them. and every time before a test so many people wanted to be her partner they had 1 big study group. But one day there was a new girl that everybody liked and now nobody likes her that much anymore for 12 days. But in a month they were best friends and now whenever people wanted to be their partners half would go with Miley and the other half would go with Brittany and everyone was even more happy!!!!
The End

My sister

By Abby, 13, Kansas, USA

I have a memory. It was a long time ago. I was hiding under my sister's bed because the neighbors' dog scared me. I cried myself to sleep I was so frightened.

I had forgotten that my family was going to the park to have a picnic. When they couldn't find me, my parents, Aunt, and older brother rushed outside to find me. They thought I had gotten hit by a car.

My sister went upstairs to her room. "Abby? Where are you? We're going to the park!" I woke up to the sound of my sister's voice. I scrambled out from her bed and she held me close.

"I love you, silly." She told me. Instead of telling the others that she found me, we stayed upstairs and danced to music to celebrate being sisters. Nothing mattered except that we loved one another. (March 2007)

Best Friends

By Katelyn, 13, Pelzer, SC, USA

We`re just friends who stick together & somehow we made it through the sad times & the bad times. Never falling through there`d always be someone there to help us back up. And when the sad times are through there are good times & even in the sad times there are good times. And one other thing that that makes our friendship great is that the "good times" are never just "good times" they`re great times! These great times are made great by joy & laughter, jokes & pranks that fill up the time we share together. We are there for each other through the adventures & life changing experiences. Along the way we still try to comprehend the activity of our teenage lifestyles. Filled up with relationships & lessons, our life can be such a mess & we wonder how we can get through it all? It`s because of BEST friends like you who I know will always be there for me. Thank you so much for all you`ve done for me & our friendship.You have really made our time together & I know you`ll make the future times even greater!

The Bigger Side of Life

By Kathryn, 11, Lake Havasu City, Arizona, USA

"Ahhhhgghh!" yelped Clara as she spilled ketchup on her fuzzy pink sweater. "Watch it!" Clara knew it was her fault in spilling ketchup on her girly sweater. She didn't want to admit it. In fact, Clara Manson never wanted to admit anything. "Hey, I didn't do anything!" shouted the kid next to her. "I didn't even touch you!"
The bell rang, meaning the end of lunch, and since today was early dismissal day, time to go home and wash her sweater.
Clara was a snob. A big snob. She blamed stuff on people, she bragged about her jewelry, she never coped with her feelings, and was a total loner. Her parents were rarely home. Her mom worked at a tropical suites hotel and her father owned a popular chocolate factory. They would only come home to say goodnight to Clara.
Clara came home to her parents' mansion(it was basically hers) and opened the fridge to a pitcher of water. She couldn't use electricity at home, so the washing machine was off limits. Using the water pitcher, Clara poured all of the water onto her stained pink sweater. She rubbed, and rubbed, and rubbed some more. After an hour, Clara gave up and threw her expensive sweater in the garbage.
Clara wanted a new sweater. Her parents were protective, so to get money, Clara had to ask them for it. She picked up the phone and dialed her mother's number. After a few rings, Maria Manson answered the line. "Sun Springs Hotel, do you have a reservation?" "Mom?" replied Clara. I need some-" Her mom screamed over the phone. "Clara, dahling!! What do you need, my puppet?" Clara said, "Mother, I need some money to go to the mall." Maria chuckled. "Of course, dahling. You may have fifty dollars or less." she said. "Okay, Mom, bye!" said Clara quickly. They both hung up.
Clara grabbed fifty dollars and headed out the door. The three blocks to Shiner's Mall gave Clara time to think what color her new fuzzy sweater would be. She decided it would be pink, just for memories of her previous sweater.
She was daydreaming so hard that she didn't notice a classmate coming her way. It was Annabelle Huffman, and within a split second they collided. "Ow! Do you want to watch where you're going?" Annabelle just stared at her. She didn't say anything. "Hello??" asked Clara again. The girl kept staring. Clara sighed and walked on.
Shortly the mall came into view. At last! Clara thought. She felt for that crisp fifty dollar bill in her play dress's pocket. She smiled to herself and went inside.
The mall was filled with people. Salesmen, stores, and food courts filled with objects that Clara didn't care for.
Just then, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around. Nothing. She shrugged her shoulders and went to the little store in the back of the mall. When she got in, Clara was greeted with the smell of old citrus. But the clothes were fashionable and Clara thought she'd take her chances here. In the corner was the winter clothing department and she spotted a fuzzy pink sweater that looked just like her old, stained one. Clara took a gander at the price tag. "ONE HUNDRED SEVEN DOLLARS?!" she shouted at the top of her lungs. "Darn it!" She thought maybe her mother would let her borrow more cash. But there was no phone in the store and she couldn't reason with the cashier. So, giving up, again, she sighed and went back home.
Later that night, Clara made herself a cup of hot chacolate from her father's factory. She guessed she would get more money and go back to Shiner's Mall tomorrow. Then she started thinking about the times of being alone and blaming the spilled ketchup incident on that kid. Then she thought about bumping into Annabelle, telling her to watch where she was going when Clara was the one daydreaming. She thought about her parents not being around enough. Maybe that was why she was such a brat. Clara then remembered the strange "person" who may have been following her. A small tear fell from her eye. Then she made a confident grin. "You know what?" she asked to herself. "Tomorrow at school, I'll start being nicer." And at that, she fell asleep, creating plans in her mind of certain things to say to certain kids.
In the morning, Clara was up eating breakfast and brushing her hair at the same time. She wanted to hurry so she could practice her compliments. Shortly after, Clara was ready for school, so the rest of the morning she standing in front of the mirror, practicing her "nice" smile. It was hard, because she could only make a mean smile. When she finally found the smile she was looking for, she started saying stuff she thought she'd never say.
"Brandy, I love your braces today. They're very shiny." started Clara. "Austin, I'm sorry I blamed the spilled ketchup thing on you. That was my fault. And Sharon, those shoes are so cool! Hey, Greg. That was an amazing pass in football today. And Annabelle, I'm sorry I bumped into you and yelled at you. You should've yelled at me. Steven..." The list went on and on until it time for her to go to school. Brandy was just ahead of her, so Clara caught up to her and complimented her on her braces. Then Clara ran past her and Brandy was totally dumbfounded.
Clara complimented everybody else in the school later that day. People were puzzled, no doubt about it, but they thanked her for each one or two compliments Clara gave them.
Hours passed and Clara still hadn't seen Annabelle Huffman. Clara needed to give her that apology, so instead of homework after school, she wrote Annabelle an apology note. She was planning to call her dad to let him know where she was going, but she needed to do this right now, and her father was known to engage in long, conversational phone calls. So she grabbed her plain, ugly sweater and headed out the door.
In a few minutes the apology letter was in the Huffman's mailbox. Clara hesitated to look at Annabelle's house. It looked vacant. She took on last glance at the house as she turned away, hoping that letter would get to Annabelle.
The next day was Saturday, and again, Clara was alone(her parents worked on the weekends, too), sitting on the couch, thinking about yesterday. "I think I did a pretty good job," Clara said out loud. She knew she had. And she meant all those compliments, too. It made her feel as pink and fuzzy inside as her almost-sweater was! Clara's thoughts were interrupted by the doorbell. She opened the door to find a small letter on the large porch. On the front, it said, 'To Clara Manson.' She opened up the envelope and pulled out the note. It said:

"Dear Clara Manson,
Hi! I got your message. I apologize, too. I should've said sorry also. I was absent yesterday because I had the flu. But all my friends called me and said you were nice to everyone yesterday. I hope you keep that up. Clara, I was the one trying to follow you at the mall. I was trying to figure out why you were there. That sweater is expensive, isn't it? Ha! My mom owns that store. I told her to lower that price to fifty dollars. And Clara, I've been waiting for you to finally figure the bigger side of life. It's called friendship. And to start that bigger side, I want you to meet me at the food court in Shiner's Mall. You can buy that sweater while you're at it! See you tomorrow!
Your new friend,
Annabelle Huffman"

Clara had never gotten a friendly letter before. But first time or not, she loved it! Friendship never felt so good! So when she went to bed that night, and woke up, she got ready for lunch. At the mall, she quickly got that now fifty dollar sweater, put in on, and sat at the food court enjoying a burger with her bigger side of life, Annabelle Huffman.

Cancer

By Jarzreen, 10, Malaysia

Edila looked at the new girl. 'She's weird.' Edila thought. "Edila! The bell has rung 5 minutes ago and you're still outside." She heard her best friend, Jo, calling. Edila nodded and went inside.
"Good morning, Miss Green." The class wished. "This is Jessica. She's from Singapore." So, Jessica was the new student! "She's kind of pretty." Edila said to Jo. "Hey! She's nice but a little too weird." Jo warned. "Oh! C'mon, Jo. Let's talk with her."
Jo frowned. She never made friends. Not when she found Edila in the park. Edila's the one who talked to her. "Hi. I'm Edila Parker. This is my best friend Joanne Flores." The girl only smiled and told her name. "I'm going." Jo called and walked away.
"That's ok. Jo's a little hard." Edila started talking with Jessica. They had so much in common. Edila asked Jess to come to her house that day. Jessica looked fusterated.
That evening, Edila waited. No Jessica. Edila still waited. Still no Jessica. She gave up and cried.
In school next day, Jessica said that she was sorry. "I'm sorry. I had a doctor's appointment. I wanted to tell you my cancer sickness. I can't." Edila understand Jess's feelings. They were best friends forever, but Jo, she had another friend. Herself.

I'll Remember That Christmas Eve

By Savannah, 11, Cuba, NY, USA

It was a lonely Christmas Eve. My friend Mildred and I sat on our front porch watching the snow slowly drift down to the bare ground. Mildred sighed,"I really thank you for inviting me over to your house for Christmas Eve." She took a deep sip of her hot cocoa and looked straight at me. "You are my best friend Suzie!" she laughed.
"Remember this summer when we went fishing in you Uncle Paul's pond?" She asked.
"Yah, the one fish was too hard to handle for Mark!" I shouted. Then we started laughing. Laughing and snorting. Then we suddenly got quiet, and we looked each other solemnly.
"Made you this," I said taking a bow wrapped with red Christmas paper. I slowly handed it to Mildred who opened it quickly and found the special surprise.
"It's a picture frame!" Mildred shouted. The picture frame was blue with tiny sea shells glued all over and little felt hearts. I had known Mildred loved the beach and loved hearts.
We exchanged a quick hug. Then I found Mildred taking a package out of her blue jeans.
"Merry Christmas!" she yelled. I quickly tore open the green wrapping paper to find a tiny little scrapbook with all Mildred's pictures she had taken of us.
We exchanged another quick hug again.
I then said to Mildred,"Thank you, you will always be my best friend no matter what happens. Promise to keep in touch?"
"Yep, but moving to Utah won't be as easy as when you were here when we moved to New York." Mildred murmured. She got up off the porch step, glancing at me one more time. "Goodbye Suzie May Wright!"
I waved. Mildred was the best person I had ever met. And that day after I put out the milk and cookies for Santa Claus I wrote him a little wish, for Mildred to come back.

What they want to hear

By Caitlin, 12, Ohio, USA

when they ask
for your opinion
like it's a special task
they don't want you
to be honest
they just want you to
tell them what they want to hear
you don't want to tell them the truth
because it's mean and cruel
so you tell a lie
and look into your soul.

You convince yourself that you
didn't want to hurt their feelings
its what they wanted you to do
they don't want to hear the truth
if its mean and cruel
they don't care what's in your soul.

They care about their opinion and their opinion only
they make you feel so left out
but what do they care right?

Well if they loved you
they would care alot
but some people out just don't care
if they put you on the spot.

So find the people in your life
who make you feel good
and make you enjoy your every breathe
those are the people who care.

Friends

By Jada, 11, Fort Bragg, USA

You can call on them when ever you need them the Most
When you`re sad,
You`re going through things
You need someone to talk to
The ones you can trust with your secrets
You can embarrass yourself and trust them not to let anyone else know about what happened
The ones you ride and die for till the end
That`s what you call a true

I might think you're on the wrong club!

By Jarzreen, 10, Malaysia

Sayla had been one of the popular girls. She was a good popular girl. She always passed every exams with straight A's every time.
One day, the president of the popular club said, "Sayla, I think you had been on the wrong club all year." Sayla grinned. "And why is that?" Kate could not stand it any longer, so she cried. "You're a kind person, not a bragful one!" Sayla was surprised.
She barged out of the room and cried. One of her friends named Lillian, comforted her. "I'll be sure you too hate me, is that right Lillian?" Sayla sniffed. Lillian smiled."Of course, not, Sayla! We like you just the way you are."
Sayla continued her friendship with her normal friends. One day, the popular girls wanted her back. "Sayla, were sorry. Will you come back?" Kate asked. Sayla thought. "I've been humiliated for one time and I don't want to be humiliated again. So, you should join the 'Geek Club!" Sayla laughed.
Sooner, the whole class started to laugh. Sayla had said the right thing. Don't ever believe in the populars.

I've Learned

By Sulin, 12, Minnesota, USA

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them. I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back. I've learned that it takes years to build up trust and only seconds to destroy it. I've learned that it's not what you have in your live, but who you have in your life that counts. I've learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes, after that, you'd better know something.

I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do, but to the best you can do. I've learned that it's not what happens to people, it's what they do about it. I've learned that no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides. I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you'll see them. I've learned that you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences. I've learned that there are people, who love you dearly, but just don't know how to show it. I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel. I've learned that true friendship continues to grow even over the longest distance same goes for true love.

I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that. I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgive by others, sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief. I've learned that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other and just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

I've learned that sometimes you have to put the individual ahead of their actions. I've learned that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different. I've learned that no matter the consequences, those who are honest with themselves get farther in life. I've learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.

I've learned that writing, As well as talking, Can ease emotional pains. I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon. I've learned that it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people's feelings and standing up for what you believe. I've learned to love and be loved. I've learned.

Lulu Star

By Lulu, 13, London, UK


I`m 13 yrs now and my dream is to become a star. The name Lulu Star just came like the wind blowing. My friends call me Lulu - at least 5 of them. You may be lonely or not but this is called lonely in my world. I was born and I grew up. My parents came in London so I guess they are used to London. My sister and I came in London and now its nearly 2007. Woo! Two years in London what good thing.

I would say we are spoiled children indeed. We get almost everything we ask for. I don`t want to spoil my kids when I grow up and when I say grow up I mean in the 30s, first career then children. Superb. I don`t want my children to end up the way I am. I don`t really know what`s going to happen to me but I`m hoping that dreams will come true. Being spoiled is a great thing once in a while but not always. Although my dad says if you do well when you are in school you can get anything you like. So its like trading stuff but I`m trading my own benefits or their pride with something they buy me.

In our old home, I was quite popular because of my parents richness. I liked it I have to admit to myself. I felt like a princess. Everyday could go by and you would know that you are free to do anything. As time went on I grew to a big fat kid. Well I`m still fat and hoping to reduce weight in time. Children younger or older that me could laugh but still I was popular. At school, it was the same. I was unstoppable.

In December we moved. Things even seemed to work out really well. I had friends and everything. I was happy of course. Well sometimes I could cry and sometimes I could want to kill myself because I didn`t have what I want. Everyone probably knew me at school because of my parents. I was always giving stuff. Not from my heart but because I wanted to be known as the richest kid in school. I didn`t have real friends, I notice now. People just came to me because they wanted something from me and I gave it to them. I don`t know if they were all fake friends. I just don`t know.

We moved into London. This is where I`m being enlightened to my life. I now have friends maybe 2-5 but we sometimes leave each others sides probably we are not as close we just talk about school and that`s it. We don`t really communicate out of school cause that is hard. We are shy and no one can come up front first.

I make mistakes and I can feel it really. Love is missing in my world and that`s the one thing I probably never had before. England is a rich country and everyone has got money. So you can`t buy friends like I used to do. I thank God for letting me see this. I don`t want to be a princess I want to be an angel.

My Best Friend

By Stephanie , 12, Los Angeles, California, USA

My name is Stephanie. Me and Jaimee have been friends since 2nd grade. We do a lot together. We talk. We're both Filipino, so we can talk in two languages. We play. We go to each other's houses. We even take each other out to movies and other places. We even started middle school together. We thought we'd graduate together. I took her to school and she'd take me to her house on Tuesdays. We had fun for two semesters...that is until I found out that in 7th grade Jaimee had to go to another school. I was sad to hear it. So it was already vacation. It was time to have fun for two months without school. It ended up that during vacation we couldn't hang out. I had to go to the Philipines. I had fun there, but I missed Jaimee. When I got back I remembered that Jaimee was going to another school. I called her on the way home from the airport.
By the time 7th grade came I was excited, and yet I was nervous. I guess it was because we were supposed to start together...me and Jaimee. I called her when I got home after school, since her classes didn't start until September. It's been a semester since then. I'm going to vacation again.I miss hanging with her at school, but I have new friends and so does she. We still talk and hang out whenever we can. Even though I miss her at school I still manage. Maybe we'll be in the same high school...most likely no but I'm still hopeing. It just goes to show that our friendship will not last forever, but it'll last for a very long time.
