Dr. Bryan Corbin Essays - Trading Faces, DraftNoah Cronbaugh

Dr. Bryan Corbin ENGL Composition 1301 March 1, 2017 Complications Everyone has one, two, or maybe even three times in their lives where they have a serious complication that they have to overcome. The problem varies from person to person. With some having issues in money management, and others having trouble maintaining a relationship. In my case the situation was that i was too gullible. Throughout my ninth grade year i got into many relationships and friendships, which is usually a good thing until your friend or partner ends up betraying your trust. The first example I have is one of my ex-girlfriends named Monique. Monique Coleman, or as my parents called her, "Monique the super freak", was my girlfriend for about two months in 2014. Throughout the relationship I was a little new to the scene, meaning i had good book knowledge, however, i did not have as much street knowledge. For the duration of the two months she repeatedly dropped many hints of infidelity and unloyalty, however, since at that time i was just happy to be dating, I skipped passed all the signs even though my friends and family were telling me to watch out. In the end I found out that she had dated and performed favors for almost everyone in my friend group, which is about 12 people. In addition to the girl mentioned in the paragraph above, the friends that she had been with prior to our relationship also went behind my back to be with her while i was supposed to be with her. Again, everyone was dropping hints and telling me that i was being played but i chose to ignore it. As a result of my inability to detect lies and games, i got emotionally hurt by this discovery, however, I kept following my old path. The days turned to months and the months to years. Throughout the whole time I kept believing that everyone was my friend and no one would try to hurt me, That ideology all changed during my 10th grade school year, at North Shore Senior High School. Toward the end of ninth grade my next-door neighbor, Janesha, had begun talking to one of my close friends named Jordan. Her parents never approved of Jordan due to the fact that he is rowdy, comes from a bad background, performs illegal activities, and has a bad history with girls. Around the same time period Janesha had acquired a new best friend named Jazmine. Jazmine was not from a stable household like Janesha or I, so when she came to Janesha's house while I was over there she always tried to talk to me about dating and things of the sort. And every time she mentioned it I turned her down on her offer. Now that I think back on the moment I believe that is why she started to try to get me in trouble. Fast forward a bit into the second semester of 10th grade around March. Janesha was getting of the bus kissing Jordan and her father was waiting for her just a few feet away and caugh t the two. Later on that day Janesha's mother, Michelle, came over to my house to ask me if I knew any information dealing with Jordan and Janesha's relationship. Being the good friend I am, I did not give out any information and instead acted like I barely found out that they were dating a few days prior. Well, after questioning me they forced Janesha to give them Jazmine's number and proceeded to call her. Jazmine told Mrs. Michelle everything she knew about the two dating, and how they had been seeing eachother for almost a year now. In the end of the conflict Janesha got grounded and as best friends do, she vented to Jazmine. During their conversation Jazmine lied to Janesha and stated that I was the one who told her mother about everything and that she was get me back for snitching on her best friend. Then next few days were quiet until saturday morning when i received a text from jazmine, who I had never given my number to, stating that she was going to get
