5 Signs That You Should Probably Stop Being Friends With Someone
Joshua Sazon

There is a time in everyone's life where you end relations with a friend. Whether it is because of distance or no longer having things in common, we can't stop it even if we want to. If you are having any complications, think of how each person treats each other and if some of those qualities seem to be less than desirable. There are many fish in the seas, but you shouldn't have to tug another along. Here are some signs that you might want to take a look at if you are anyone you know is in this situation.

1. They only talk to you when they want something.

How often do you hang out with your friend(s)? Is it only when they want to hang out. Are they asking you for things? To do things for them? This may not be healthy. In a friendship, I would believe that both people would make the effort to talk to one another on their own terms or just enjoy each others company. But if he/she isn't interested in the time spent in the friendship, then you shouldn't have to worry about it.

2. You're the only one making an effort.

This can be a huge determining factor in a friendship. Are you the one trying to organize times to hang out? Are you doing most of the planning? Are you constantly going over to them? Do you do things for them that they don't acknowledge? Then maybe they just aren't interested in being friends anymore. It's not worth it to waste your own time trying to make them feel better. Because they wouldn't care either way.

3. They disrespect you.

Respect is a big thing that can go a long way. Respect, I believe, is a key ingredient in any relationship you may have. Whether this is an intimate relationship or a friendship, it is important. If someone starts to disrespect you, you should really stop and wonder why your "friend" had made you feel that way.

4. They are clingy.

This is not so much of a bad thing, as it might be annoying. If at first you want to hang out or join your group of friends (if you have one) that is fine. But if they start bugging you 24/7 then there might be a sign for you to have a conversation with them about this situation so it can get resolved instead of being dragged on forever.

5. They curse you out.

This is the last and final straw. If someone is your friend, they should at least have respect for you and never dare to curse you out. If you have a friend like this, then it is clear that you don't mean anything to them. Friends people you can hang out with on a daily basis and feel happy, but adding negativity into your life is something a friend shouldn't do.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
