Please read my story and tell me what you think?

Question

Ever had a friend who you had good times with, looked out for, and shared stuff with. And then one day, they just ditched you? That happened to me about a year and a half ago now.

We were in college preparing to go to uni. My friend went on holiday the day we both had an interview at the university we both wanted to go to, so I went on his behalf as well as my own. Anyway I told him everything about it and that. Come results day, I do better than him, with 3 good a-levels and a good as-level. He got one average a-level and one bad a-level. Anyways, we both got into uni and on the course. Come the first day which was like an information day, he went on holiday again, and so I again went down on his behalf as well as my own. When he came back from holiday, I told him the information that night on msn, and how to make the final preparations for starting uni. It was then he told me he isn’t going to the uni in question. To which I said, “are you not? Then what are you doing next year?” He said, “I’m going to ? Uni.” This uni was a much more better uni, than the one we were going to. However it required higher grades to get in, which neither of us got. But there was thing called, clearances (filling the empty places) in which they dropped the entry level, and thus he got in and didn‘t tell me about it at the time. After telling me this, he then said, “I got in and it’s too late for you, bye.” He then cancelled me as a friend on msn, and I‘ve never spoken to him since. I was shocked at what just happened. I thought we were friends, and after everything I did on behalf of him, this is how he repayed me. I mean, I know I should have checked clearance myself, but I didn’t know they lowered the entry level, and after everything I told him, he could off least told me, right? Now a year and a half later, through other friends, I hear how he’s at a better, higher quality uni than me, even though he has lower grades. He is getter a better standard education than me, he’s getting professionals coming in to work with the classes, and all these work experience opportunities. He will leave uni with better employment prospects and probably end up earning more than me for the rest of our lives. I’m gutted in a sense, because feel like I’ve been backstabbed, and cheated.

What do you make of this story?

. time will solve every thing.

and by the way u are good writer.

Answer 2

may be he felt he would have had less of a chance of getting in if you applied too . You did have better grades which would have gave you a better chance .May be he felt he couldn't take the chance of being left behind knowing he was the one who informed u about it in the first place .  The world is full of people who only think of them self it wasn't nice what he done but its time to put it behind you  good luck .

Answer 3

wowww that was bitchy! it sounds like you dont even know wat u did! jeeze

Answer 4

Well I feel sorry for you. I think that your friend was a selfish person bothered about himself.

I too got one. Once upon a time, I had a friend who was weak in a particular subject. He failed in a mini test and I offered to help him. I helped him greately and he was able to pick himself up. I too asked his help in one particular subject that I was weak in. I asked him to call while he was studying. He did not call me. later I asked him what the reason was. He told in a very unconcerned manner 'I just like that started studying'. I was very hurt and did not talk to him for months together.

But now I am in a better position than him because I valued friends and their help. But I must say that I did make him to pay causing him a huge psychological stress without his knowledge.

Answer 5

That sounds awful. I've never had anything like that happen to me, but I feel that some people who I used to be friends with don't seem to be interested anymore while I would still love to be friends with them.
