Keep Your Friends Close & Your Enemies Closer

By: Isis Nicole
There comes a time in everyone’s life when they’ll face jealously and backstabbing. As of late, this has been commonly referred to as “haters” by today’s generation. For females, this seems to be especially true. While people who blatantly hate you sometimes make it known, there are those who tend to be fake. What’s even more interesting is that the ones who are the closest to you tend to hate the most; these people are sometimes referred to as “frenemies.” 
“Frenemies” can be the most difficult people you ever encounter simply because their disdain for you can be very understated. The most unappealing aspect of having a friend who also happens to be an enemy is that you may not realize that in the end, they don’t have your best interest at heart. These relationships are pointless, but many times, they are hard to detect.
How to spot one? Well for one, “frenemies” do not typically pop up like an unnoticed stain on your new outfit, although the situation may indeed feel that way. They are much more clever. Unfortunately, they blossom over time; therefore, there's a great possibility that they are very aware of your secrets and weaknesses. How to deal? You can call them out, facing the issue head on. An alternative is for you to get even, but once you’re past a certain age, that can be thought of as immature. Plus, you would be wasting your precious time and energy. Ultimately, it’s up to you.
