Trust

My experience about trust and then loss of trust goes way back to my school days. Tuitions as called in India for extra classes of school homework are a must from10^th grade to 12^th grade. I had a friend in the school, who could not afford to go to any tuition, so I became her study buddy for homework help. Sometimes I would leave my work and go out of the way to help her, because she would ask for it. Tuitions are big business in India, and all of the students flock to the tuitions suitable to their pockets. I used to go to ordinary tuitions because we could not afford any more fees than that. So I relied on self-work and school with a backup of my so so tuition. My friend and me would study on regular basis until one day I noticed her avoiding me with a bunch of extra notes. She started ignoring me in the school as if I was going to take away something from her. When I confronted her about this, she told me that she had managed to join the premium tutions in the town and she no longer needed my help. I told her that’s fine with me, but why do you want to break the friendship, on which she told me that now onwards she wont hang out with me because I did not belong to the league of premium tuitions. I trusted my friend and so helped her with her studies, however she broke my trust and betrayed me. She used me when she wanted me and then discarded me when not needed. I could not restore trust in her, as I believe she did not deserve my friendship and help, so I took her out of my life there after.
