Journal Writing Prompt: Friends
One thing I frequently talk to my daughter about is what a true friend really is. At her age (12), there are simply too many “wolves in sheep’s clothing” - people disguised as “friends” but who are really poisonous, and not enough experience in discerning who the wolves are and who the real friends are (not to mention the difficulties that are inherent of a girl that age in wanting to be popular and fit in). Of course, I suppose we can say the same thing even as adults - although, as we age, we are better able to discern a true friend from a wolf.
