I’m still reading “Angels in Pink Kathleen’s Story” written by Lurlene McDaniel. In the story, Kathleen and two of her best friends named Holly and Raina were talking about how’s going with Kathleen and Carson because if Holly and Raina don’t ask about it to Kathleen, she is going to keep things that happened between them as a secret. However, Kathleen believes them so she told them everything that happened.
When I read that part, I was thinking how they could believe each other so strongly. Don’t they want to keep their secrets in their mind? I have best friends too, but I don’t usually tell what happened to me or minds that I have. It doesn’t mean that I don’t trust them but sometimes I feel things that happened to me aren’t their business. If they want to know or care about me, they will ask me what’s wrong with me or what happened to me and so I can tell them everything. However, sometimes I worry what if my best friends betray me and it always makes me don’t want to share my businesses. So I couldn’t understand why Kathleen and two of her friends always talked about secret things each other. I think they can refuse to talk about their secrets.
How about you? Are you the kind of person who always tells about yourself to best friends even if it’s secrets?

Like you, I feel it is best not to share everything. My friends won't betray me on purpose, but people often speak without thinking of the consequences of their comments. The problem with not sharing secrets is that friends recognize this and may become less interested in our lives. Why should friends invest in us if we do not share our secrets with them?
The movie I recently watched said "Good friends can talk anything and give them a hand with each other. But the best friends are, they can pretend they notice none of it and act natural when a problem takes place" When I first saw this sentnce, I didnt understand well. Why didnt they help each other despite having problem? But now, I can say it's becuae they belive their best friend can handle their own problem. They only help when their best friends ask a favor. And I agree with this.
