How to be careful of fake friends who use you SHAARE SHALOM CONG. Jewelry is like friends. Sometimes fake ones look better than the real ones. By: Hodaya Bentyaghoub Masores Bais Yaakov One day, Dina came to school in her new school shoes. Everybody always wanted those shoes. So, everybody started being friends with Dina. She never used to be as popular as she was now. One day, everyone found out that Dina’s shoes were not really hers. They were her cousin’s. From then on, everybody stopped being friends with Dina. Everything changed. Dina wasn’t popular anymore. Everyone went back to the people they used to be friends with. Dina was all down. Everybody was nice to Dina, but not anymore. A good friend is not friends with you because of what you have. Everyone took advantage of Dina because of her shoes. Nobody took advantage of her heart.

Can I stay with you for today?” Atara just asked me if she could stay at my house. She is the most popular girl in school. “Yeah, but I’ll need to ask my mother,” I said in excitement. I watched Atara go back to her popular group. Knock, knock. “That must be Atara,” I thought. “I’ll get the door.” “Hi, Malky. I like your house.” I think she is trying to be my friend. I think tomorrow she will let me be in her group. “So, what do you want to do?” Atara said, interrupting my thoughts. The next day at school, Atara pretended like she never met me. After all I did for her, she betrayed me. “Atara don’t you remember you stayed by me? We had so much fun?” I wanted to scream, but walked away instead. By: Rachel Lati Magen David Yeshivah Carly knew Melissa from school. Carly asked Melissa, “Do you have any hair clips, pony tails and fun games?” Melissa replied, “Yes.” Carly asked, “Can I have them?” Melissa said, “Ok.” They played together the whole day. The next day, when Carly was walking back from school, Melissa said, “Hi, Carly.” Carly replied, “Oh, Melissa. I don’t like you because you are not really fun.” Melissa thought to herself, “I think she just used me to get my stuff.” If you have a girl who asks you to give her things and being too flattering to you, do not listen and do not talk to her. She is not a real friend. By: Faigy Eisen Masores Bais Yaakov Huvy is not the best student in school. One night, our teacher gave way too much homework. Huvy sighed. When Huvy came home, she thought of only one thing. The homework. Huvy ran to the phone and called Dasie. “Hello,” said Huvy. “Hi,” responded Dasie, the smartest girl in class. “I need help with homework,” stated Huvy. “Sure,” exclaimed Dasie. Huvy was excited that she should get help with homework. After 3 hours, homework was done. “Bye, friend,” said Dasie hoping for a good response. Huvy was a little unsure but she managed to say, “Bye.” The next day, Huvy was in school having a blast with her new toy. Dasie asked, “Can I borrow it for a little?” “No way, smarty pants,” said Huvy. And, that was the last time Dasie ever helped Huvy. 56 <strong>Bar</strong>/Bat <strong>Mitzvah</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> 718-909-6060 View magazine online at BMmagazine.com
