"Everyone is Accepting at First, But After the Shock Wears Off, Not Everyone Is" Dear Lisa, Briannah and Veronica, This is VERY COMMON when a person goes through ANY significant life change. It is only times like this that a person finds out who their REAL friends are. Often, people are supportive at the beginning, because that is the politically correct thing to do. Then they sometimes change their minds when their OTHER so-called friends say to them, "what are you doing with HER/HIM?" Some people are so weak they can not choose their own friends, and allow themselves to be intimidated into being TOLD who they can be friends with, ONLY TO REALIZE TOO LATE that these so-called friends of theirs who turned them against their friend when their friend really needed their support THE MOST, turn out to be superficial friends! Yes, it takes guts to think and make decisions for yourself, because these so-called friends, if you don't agree with them, make every effort to turn your other friends against you, forcing you to make a decision to stand up for your friend who needs your support the most or settle for a SHALLOW friendship with them. Sooner rather than later, these shallow friends will turn on you for some other reason. The upshot of all of this? Strive to have a few quality friends who will be there for you, rather than try to win a popularity contest with a bunch of shallow ACQUAINTANCES! Your friend, Monica
