All you peeps out there, I'm sure a lot of you have come across people who try to be your friend and you know they are fakes. The ones that are just using you and trying to make others turn against you due to jealousy. I thought I'd share with you a poem of the sort written by me to show you what I think about FAKE friends. I'm also interested in your opinions and what you think about them.

FAKE FRIENDS

Fake Friends, they always try their hardest to bring you down.
Pretending they honestly care with their secret frown.
They’ll manipulate others to make you seem a clown.
They’ll do almost anything to burn you or make you drown.

You should always be weary that people try to use you,
Be careful spotting those people that try to abuse you.
They go after types of people who are shit takers.
They can be difficult to identify because they’re fakers.
They’ll try and make you look like a prick.
Part of the game and part of their trick.
Stereotypically recognised without honour.
They want to be you, they really wanna.
Direct wanna be’s, non empathic zom-bies.
Trying to leave no trace of hypocrisy.
Lying to your Face, through their falsity.
Rumour spreading, liars of reality.
Not wanting people to see actuality.
It isn’t easy to spot a cautious pretender.
Martyr’s acting like your public defender.
Well it isn’t true, stir up shit, manipulators.
They don’t like you, they’re jealous, vindictive haters.

You probably got something they need.
A talent, money or popularity they heed.
Having feelings of being smaller than you.
They want to rise up and be taller than you.
They make up lies through scenarios that don’t make sense.
Through rumours, negativity, a deceptive act of pretence.
These people don’t understand their wrongs, they lack maturity.
So they leech onto others with cruelty, due to their insecurity.

They’re simply people who can’t stand to see you happy.
If they hear good news, it’s boring and it sounds crappy.
Seeming to only be concerned about one’s self.
Not supportive of you improving one’s health.
They’re like snake shifters on stealth.
You’re merely just a tool for one’s wealth.

And when there’s a problem they pose as the explainers.
Know it all’s that criticize others, pathetic complainers.
Posing you as the problem in the situation, they’re ridiculers, use manipulation, they’re blamers.
Some of your other friends know this.
However, they’d rather not show this.
They avoid awkward minor social complications.
Well decisive and are weary of them in social situations.
They may show they know through hostile confrontations.
Because they won’t want to fall prey to manipulations.

True friends are people you truly know well.
They will comfort you, that’s how you can tell.
They deeply care for you,
They’re always there for you.
When they’re needed, when you’re vulnerable.
Because no one’s superhuman, no one’s invulnerable.

And if you can’t spot a faker you must be blind.
Otherwise obviously it means you don’t mind.
That’s why you’re so easy for them to find.
So that you’re being used as a tool.
And that you’ll be treated like a fool.
You’re way for them to make themselves look cool.

BECAUSE...
True friends, you clearly know who you’re talking to.
Honest people, always there ready to help you.
WELL AS...
Fake friends, make them transparent, see through.
Otherwise they’ll truly end up corrupting you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fake Friends, they always try their hardest to bring you down.
Pretending they honestly care with their secret frown.
They’ll manipulate others to make you seem a clown.
They’ll do almost anything cruel to make you drown.

Peace, make sure you keep your true friends close and your fake ones far away.
Trust, never ever be led a stray, victimised end up becoming their prey and be decent it’s the just right way.

I had my fair share of "fake friends" I suppose. I had a friend in freshmen year that I've been friends with for a short time in middle school, our group of friends were really close but she did something that I don't feel like going into detail about and we basically disowned her for what she did to me. As of now, I only have like only 4 close friends, which I'm okay with since I know they would never betray me c:

Since I go to a new school now without any of my best friends; my only friend is my boyfriend. I don't really plan on getting on the "best" friend level with anyone there because half the time girls in high school just want to use you for their own benefit or be mean behind your back. I personally believe true friends can only be found in elementary school because that's before our minds our darken by evil intentions to hurt others.

True that, I'd also say you find your true friends as life goes on because they are the ones that will keep in contact with you after education. I'm not sure how old you are, I'm 20 but it's good that you know who you can trust now. I completely agree, I think today too many people are corrupted, selfish and caring way too much about social status meaning themselves than other people. They are likely to realize their selfish ways as they get older and know more about themselves and the world. However some will always partly carry on behaving that way to some people because we as humans are imperfect and can't help it.

When I was about 12 I realized I behaved a bit like this and tried my best to stop. I'm not saying I'm perfect but I try not to be fake to people because I don't want people to be fake to me.

I wouldn't say it has so much to do with developing "evil intentions" per se and more with building up a conscience and growing self-aware; rather than staying within that air of innocence during infancy and early adolescence. Of course the environment also plays a big role as well, but can those so-called "fake" friends be the only one's at fault if they had the same experience in their past? Not to say their actions now are justified and it could honestly be that they commit such acts out of pure malice devoid of their conditioning in the past, but it's just interesting to note that those who betray are sometimes those who have already been betrayed and might believe it's a common course in life to do unto others what has happened to them; does that make them evil, does it mean they wish to intentionally hurt those around them, or is it just to find a way to mend that emotional scar in their hearts by trying to seek someone out there to prove them wrong?

Er, well, that last sentence is mainly an idealistic assumption, but I believe (most) individuals aren't over-taken by evil intentions when growing out of adolescence; instead it's learning to question your own existence and how peer's actually think of you, coupled with what you were exposed as you were progressing through life (and for some it could of easily been a battle of survival just to get to where they are today). Again: not saying it justifies treachery, but a little introspective look at the "why" behind it can sometimes change the epilogue of the outcome though it's ultimately up to the person who was betrayed to decide whether to spend the time and figure it out or move on, and to be honest the second option is usually the path more frequently walked upon, because the reasons may be nothing more than petty insecurities or pure satisfaction from those acts.

Sorry to ramble on a bit and obviously (hopefully) not giving anyone the impression that faker's deserve any condolences as they still have the ability to not commit such acts towards those close to them; but there are other justified reasons out their as well as to why they do what they do.

By darkened by evil intentions, it could be the things around someone to affect them to make them the way they are. If though I agree that someone could act the way they do because of stuff happening in their environment but I don't believe it gives them the right to do that. Also, like obsorber said; people are generally selfish and all they seem to care about is what people think of them. So one of my "friends" could definitely dub me as a loser, stop talking to me, and leave me for other, more "cooler" friends and then make fun of me. Either way, there is only a few people I can trust fully and I rather have it that way then have a bunch of fake friends who if tell something, everyone will know.

I couldn't have put it better myself. These identified people are untrustworthy in general. I do agree that this could be due to their past as we are shaped by our experiences and others. However, it doesn't justify cruel actions and we should at least try not intentionally be fake and hurt others. We shouldn't spread lies, rumors about others just because for example we feel they are getting more attention than they deserve and because we are selfish and want that attention.

As we grow older we will realize this in time. People tend to be more cruel to others they don't know so well or look for someone to bully. We tend to like to keep ourselves liked by the group we are in. I managed to see this at a young age which made me more individualistic than most people. I was relatively popular in high school but there were a few people that were jealous of me so they would make fun, generally not to my face only girls seemed to do that for some reason. The point is no ones perfect, it's just how it is...
