"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation;for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company."-George Washington

This quote does make sense.Friends are people that support you,help you through rough times,be there for you,make you happy,to have fun with.Those are friends,if you have friends that aren't like that then their not really your friends.Those are fake friends that aren't are there for you,who don't support you,makes you feel negative when your actually suppose to be feeling positive.If YOU can't find those people,then your next option yourself,it's not bad being alone.No one there to hurt you,yeah it's embarassing,when people look at you weird when your alone.People come and go it's life.Depend on yourself. Everyone has been through that stage where they have to be alone(when they only have themselves).I mean i know how it feels,but my opinion to you choose the people you hang out with  wisely.Fake friends come and go,true friends come and stay with you no matter what.
