Betrayal from Julius Caesar

[lukejoo1092]

JAMES TOLD ME TO DO PLEASE POST SOMETHING SO YEA (jkjk)

Anyways, we're reading the story of Julius Caesar that is written by Shakespeare. So far we know that Brutus will soon betray his friend, Caesar, for the sake of Rome. Now this makes me wonder, have you guys ever experienced betrayal from you friend? Big or small, it doesn't matter. But how did it feel like? What was your reaction? What happened to the relationship between your friend?

I felt betrayed once when I was in elementary school. I had a really close friend who'd I'd always let him come over to my house to play Game Cube but one day, he stole money from me. I didn't even suspect it was him at first but later when my mom told my teacher to help find out the culprit, it turned out that it was him. I felt so betrayed but I didn't pick on him. I just ignored him ever since. But it wasn't long until he transferred to somewhere else. The teacher said that it was because of family reasons but I don't think that was the real reason. But now that many years past, I wish I could see him again one day. So, how about you guys?

I also had a friend who betrayed me. When I was in elementary, I had a friend who I always played with, and we called ourselves best friends. One day, I went to her house to sleep over. We played well, and we woke up the next day to go to school. But we woke up late because me friend's phone didn't work well as an alarm clock. She blamed me that the alarm didn't work. She said that she saw me playing games with her phone at night so I made the battery to decrease. On the way to the school, she didn't even talk to me or walked with me. After that, he made me a loner just because she 'thought' that I made both her and me to be late to school. All of her predictions about it was wrong, so I was very sad. Later on, she apologized to me, but I can't forgive her until now because that was a huge hurt to me. We don't talk to each other now because I never contacted her since then.

>< i experienced one recently ><
I realized that this person was close to me just to use me as a tool. this person took advantage of me, since i always say yes to anything. this person was one of my best friends to me and i treated this person as if i would myself. I felt really bad loosing a good friend, but at the same time relieved that i won't need to deal with this person anymore. I started to tighten up myself and became more moral. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Don't just support anything your friend says. Disagree with your friend, if you know that it's harmful and agree if it helps. I think im still going to be friends with this person, but this person is now categorized in a different section = = in the "friends only for fun" section instead of "friends that i can talk to" or "friends that i can talk about school work".

Wow Lucas padoski the 3rd. Thank you so much.
Anyway just like Justin, i experienced one recently too. One day, after school, i was doing some school work. And there is this guy who i always go home with by the subway. This guy and i take line number '7' to go home. ^^ however, this guy left me at school and went home by himself without even telling me^^ i think he knows who im talkin about. Right Luke? Hahaha

When I was in Korean school, my friend told me he will teach me how to swim. We went to local swimming pool and he told me to grab his hand while he is swimming because the water was deep. But he played a joke at me by taking my hand off. He didn¡¯t help me until I drowned. After that, I was so angry and told him to apologize, but he claimed that he did it to make myself swim better. He eventually apologized after series of persuasions, but I can¡¯t forgive him because I could¡¯ve gone to hospital. After that, we never talked again and returned to normal status (neither like nor hate).

I also felt betrayed once, when i was in 4th grade my close friend also stole money from me, i never suspected him of stealing my money. I thought that some random picked it out of my pockets when i didnt notice it. Unfortunately my friends told me that it was him, i felt really dissapointed, as time went on i stopped thinking about that and we became friends again.

I don't usually feel betrayed, but I can remember one that happened a long time ago. When I was in 7th grade, me and my sister planned to go watch a movie. On the day that we planned to watch a movie, I called my sister what time we should watch the movie. However, my sister was out with her friends and told me that we could watch the movie later. At that time, I felt really betrayed because I was all excited about watching the movie because I really like watching movie. But it happened in past so I'm fine with my sister

I had one few years ago. I had a really close friend (or "I thought" I had,) who I always shared secrets with, and one day I found that she spoiled my secrets to everyone and she always gossiped about me. I was very disappointed. And it was a huge shock for me too. From that day, I never share secrets with anybody else nor I trust people fully.
I wonder how Caesar felt when he saw Brutus stabbing him.

[linnie]

Wow... Lots of people feel betrayed... That is sad..
Well, I don't really feel betrayed because I consider them my friends' mistakes. And lots of time, I can't really tell or know if they betrayed me, which is very sad.
Anyway, I felt betrayed when my friends backtalk about me. I think people really shouldn't do this thing. If they want to say something, they should say it in front of the person so the person can fix the problem they had or solve misunderstandings. I hate people who backtalk about me.
I happen to hate this because my friend and I had misunderstanding that I talked bad about her behind her back, which was not true. In the overnight trip in elementary school, there were 2 room and my best friend I were in different rooms. And people in my room started to talk bad about her and I stayed quite since I didn't want to fight with them nor talk bad about my friend. My friend heard that and she thought I was one of them. But now, we are okay with each other.

I had a friend who I had always helped and gave her advices all the time. She didn't have a lot of friends so I was always there for her. We had a dance team at my old school and I accepted her into the team. I taught her how to dance and introduced her to all my friends and close seniors. Then one day she talks about bad stuff behind my back just because she was jealous of me and I don't even know why she would be. So I was quite hurt because I really wanted to help her and make her school life more happy.

Hmmm.. I've never experienced being betrayed by a friend because I personally think that the word "betrayal" is pretty extreme. When I think of the term, it reminds me of a drama in which a person shoots his best friend for his peronsal business. But I'm very aware of the fact that there have been many bad incidents in my life, having to do with relationships with friends. There are actualy a lot. But if you're true friend with him or her, they're trivial after solving the problem or conflict.

Betraying, Betrayed, Betrayal are things we shouldn't be doing or feeling.
I've felt very betrayed by a friend i trusted the most. She got convinced very easily about a stupid rumor that was going around and it was 200% not true, it was just a rumor and she believed it and not talked to me all of a sudden.... and it was just unbelievable how she betrayed me like that , and she would believe a stupid rumor

[bilal15]

well i had a friend who betrayed me i thought that he is my bestfriend but it turned out he wasn't , i felt really sad and lost.

[jungholee]

I'm pretty sure i had that kind of experience. But i don't remember what happened at that time. The only thing i remember is as like Justin, I just said yes to almost everything that i can only for do not make some annoying happen. But i didn't think the person who 'using' me was my friend at all, so i don't think it was betrayal.

I experienced once when i was in middle school. He was my best friend. We would have the test soon so we decided that i studied half and him did the rest. During the test, I told him everything but he didn't tell me about his part. After that, i couldn't hang out with him anymore.
