Ranking Friends

With the majority of my grade going to do the Duke of Edinburgh bronze test expedition it has come to my attention that everyone ranks their friends. I know that everyone have friendships that are stronger than others, but what i found weird this is applied to real life.

The "stoop" has about 11 male members. As the recommended amount of people per group was 11/12, the guys felt it was the obvious choice. This choice left Liberty to be left out. Now this is where things started to get messy...

Liberty and Stein are tent buddies so that meant they needed two spots. Stein and Liberty could have joined a different group but apparently they all hate Liberty. So then everybody had a big blowout about who would not be able to get into the group. It was either ditch Stein and Liberty altogether and keep the original group, or remove one of the guys and get Liberty and Stein in.

Then somewhere along the way some people decided to boot out Omo. Now how they got to this decision is unclear to me.

But that is beside the point...

The point is that everyone ranks their Friends, it is human nature. It's how we apply these rankings is what matters.





As a side note, I am so glad I have other friends to be in a group with so i don't get caught up in the middle of these fights.

Anyways...
having a variety of friends = choices
From a deranged lunatic.. I bid you farewell
