Friendship is unconditional and uncritical, based only on mutual respect and the ability to enjoy each other" s company. These authority figures never saw the way one of us could do something outrageous, and the rest of us would joke about it for days. We could have fun doing absolutely nothing at all—because the company we provided each other with was enough. Rather than discussing operas, Lewinsky, or the weather, we enjoyed just hanging around each other without any one of us trying to outsmart the others. Still, I realize that these adults had a point to be concerned about the direction my friends were heading; I also was concerned for them, but I wasn"t about to leave them. Many times I would advise my friends that some activity may be dangerous or to think things through before doing something, but I would never claim to hold the moral high ground and to condescend to them. When Marvin would begin rolling joints, when Alisa would tell me she skipped school because of a hangover, or when Mariam would tell me that her new boyfriend was in a street gang, I expressed my discomfort with their actions. However, I never blackmailed them with the threat of taking my friendship away. Contrary to the commercials on television, you can have friends who use drugs. In fact, probably everyone does without realizing it.
友誼是無條件、不帶偏見的;彼此相互尊重,並且喜歡和對方在壹起,就是友誼。這些權威人士永遠不會明白為什麽我們會為壹些小事快樂好幾天。我們在壹起的時候即使什麽也不做,也會感到開心——因為大家聚在壹起就已足夠;不去談論戲劇、萊溫斯基或者天氣,大家只是享受那份閑來蕩去的愜意,誰也不用絞盡腦汁想著怎樣壹較高下,分清孰優孰劣。然而,我知道那些大人很擔心我朋友的將來;我也有同感,但並沒有打算要和他們絕交。所以我常常提醒他們有些活動是很危險的,或是做某件事之前要深思,我絕對不會把道德標準束之高閣而去參與他們其中;當馬文想嘗試壹下大麻的滋味,或者阿莉薩告訴我她因為宿醉而逃課,又或者瑪麗安說她的新男友是街上的壹個小混混時,我只是為他們感到不安,但我從來沒想到以絕交威脅他們。和電視廣告不同,妳們也可能會結交吸毒的朋友。實際上,也許每個人都有這樣的經歷,但自己並沒有意識到。
