Alice's+Final+Journal

I had an experience of not listening to my best friends and got an awful aftermath. When I was in year 11, I met a boy, in the biology teacher’s office. We found out that we both like biology and are both preparing for the SAT exam to go for universities in the States. From that day on, we texted messages to each other every night. One day, he texted to me that he would like to be my boy friend. I was delighted since I have never gone together with anyone. But I felt ambiguous since we have not known each other for long; so that I asked my best friend, Ben, for advice. He firmly said that I should refuse the boy because I do not know much about him yet, and I should be aware of the essence of one’s first love and first kiss. I simply thought Ben was considering too much and did not take it seriously. Thus, I acceded the boy’s request and I told him that I wanted to break up only after four days. I thought I had been staying with a boy that totally does not suit me, and know rare about me. I thought I had lost everything innocently and had once hated myself for being so immature. I complained to Ben in weariness, but he said “I have told you so” and I had no words to respond. In Shakespeare’s “Macbeth”, Macbeth’s best friend Banquo have told him that usually, only half of what the witches say is true; do not follow their deceits, tricks, and your impulse, greediness. Similar with me, Macbeth did not listen. He turned immoral and nonchalant, did horrible things to the surrounding people, and led to his own death.
