is it even worth it?

you know, once upon a time in high school i stopped hanging out with these girls because i could not honestly say their friendship was worth everything that happened. all the back stabbing, the name calling, the refusal to make new friends, the boy stealing and that's just to name a few issues. it seems once again i'm at the same point with another friend right now..but this time it's a boy!!! i'm in awe. i didn't think i would have to deal with this type of thing again. this time it is a litttttttle different though; he's obviously not trying to steal boys from me haha..but there is a little bit of "name calling" and smack talking..like what boy does that?! but i don't know; maybe you guys can help me out... let me know if i am in the wrong on the situation would you?? this boy and i liked each other for like a week TOPS almost exactly a year ago. then probably about 3 month ago he invited me to hang out with some of his friends so i did... then about 2 days later he invited me to hang out again, both times his friend Sam was there and was pretty much the only one of the "new" people that talked to me so not thinking ANYTHING of it, i made it a point to tell my friend that i thought sam was a very nice boy. that started the EXPLOSION. apparently that was the wrong thing to say because being me, i GUESS i cannot think a boy is nice unless i want to kiss him..i didn't even know that about myself..weird right?! so i was lectured multiple times on how i am nooooot allowed to kiss sam. which is definately my decision but hadn't even crossed my mind. anyway, sam and i have continued to talk and have become pretty good friends i would say. but that just brought on even more issues. according to my friend that's a big no-no. like basically sam and i feel like we cant even tell the kid we hang out. we don't hide it because we know he's not stupid but once he knows we hung out its becomes.. "what time did you leave" blah blah blah. NOTHING IS GOING ON. my friend was mad that we hung out on new years...and then a WHOLE 8 days later was mad at us..mainly me?!!..again. does anyone else think that he's freakin out beyond reason.. or am i just completely delusional to think i can be friends with sam!?

anyyywaaayyyy, other than that life is good. second week with my little 6 year olds went good. brayden came with me to my class because he and hallie have been staying with us since friday and will go home tomorrow. its fun but at the same time so much work. anyway its time to put the little ones down for beddddd.
