So many people these days are very shallow, they ask how you are but don't even bother listening to your response as they're too busy seeing who else is around or what the latest update is on their iPhone. You can be constantly surrounded by a crowd of 'friends', whether physically or cyberly (I made that word up but you know what I mean ;o), but feel very lonely as while all these people want to appear to be friends with you (for whatever reason), very few of them actually know the real you. I really appreciate my true friends and only have a few of them due to myself and them moving around the world at regular intervals. But I also sometimes get sucked in by the numbers. If only there was a switch in our brains to become immune to the peer pressures of this world :o). Good luck with helping your little people learn the difference between real friends and popularity...it would be a hard lesson to teach I think but one that will benefit them for ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519490105377840785.post-78295804144326970252012-02-28T22:10:34.324+11:002012-02-28T22:10:34.324+11:00This is so very true.

Urgh it's tough when we are all such vulnerable creatures but I agree, special close friends, even if you only have 1, is far more precious than being 'popular'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519490105377840785.post-80838292151964821252012-02-28T00:16:41.726+11:002012-02-28T00:16:41.726+11:00You're so wise....and so was your Mum.You're so wise....and so was your Mum.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14652932927967376616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519490105377840785.post-91120286807081123642012-02-27T23:45:23.352+11:002012-02-27T23:45:23.352+11:00Totally agree!
