Every Teenager NEEDS to Hear This (2023) 

" fake friends are like shadows, around during the lightest times, but disappear in the darkest times."

"See, fake friends are like Shadows. They're around you during the *Brightest* times, but the disappear during the *Darkest* times." - Prince EA 00:58

He will be a great Father. I can just imagine his child feeling down. And then him, giving his child an inspirational speech 😪

"Its better to walk alone at night, Then with a fake friend in the light"

Reminds me the quote " you show me your friends and i will show you your future"

felt the fake friend shit. i dropped so many damn people this year that i feel much better with my life. pick the people wisely..it will do you good

*Imagine just sitting alone and minding your own business and a guy with huge biceps comes outta nowhere and starts giving you a lecture on life*

I knew my friends were fake when they called me "Ma-die" after a suicide attempt that they caused with their bullying. Such great "friends"! An amazing "squad"!

And teachers still says, everyone in class is your friend... Man i don't love all my classmates comeon

"Fake friends are like shadows, they are around you during the brightest times"🔥🔥🔥

i had no real friends in school for the first 8 years. There was many people who called themselfes my friend, but they never really did. Because they holded me back, and pushed me down to the floor everytime i failed something, or did something stupid. There was 1-2 guy who became my buddies, but not my real friends, tese friends was not that toxic like the other popular guys in my school. I droped all these "friends" and then i went to highschool, and in the school i met people whos more inteligent than to just pull me down, and become my friends. But there was only ONE guy with me in elementary school out of like a 100 that is really become my friend, and today we hanging out often, laugh and cry together. We pull each other further, and further, when we have a good time.

Him: Talking about friends. Me: What is this f-f-f-friend?

"Don't find 100 friends, Find a friend that loves you a 100 times"

“The fake friends are like the shadows, they are with u during the brightness time and disappear during the darkness times!” :,( Bro, i really feel that! :,)

friend=end girlfriend=end boyfriends=end family = no end

"It's better to have 1 real friend that supports you on the difficult times and always tries to help you, than having 100 friends that only want you for their own benefit and when you're on the difficult times, they dissapear." -Anonymous.

FAKE FRIENDS ARE LIKE SHADOWS THEY'RE AROUND YOU DURING THE BRIGHTEST TIMES BUT THEY DISAPPEAR DURING THE DARKEST TIMES

"People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime."

“Everybody wants to be there in the Limo, but who is going to be there when you’re alone in the cold.” 🔥🔥🔥 best quote ever

You see that’s kinda hard to find “ real friends “ or “ true friends” because now EVERYONE wants to me just like everyone else. Nobody really KNOWS who they are because they have been influenced by so many bad people.

Why do I always feel that he is talking to me like, if this video was specifically for me?

And at this moment i realized. All my friends are fake. yall- i am ur fren now, no objections uwu

This helped me so much! I had a “friend” and I helped her though depression, helped her make friends, and helped her though everything! But a week after she made her own friend and felt better... She didn’t talk to me anymore... She was never there when I needed her the most, when I hurt the most. But my other best friend has always been there for me and I’ve always been there for her. Everyone reading this, when you find out someone really isn’t your friend. Don’t hold on to them, let them go. God put them in your life to help them, and when he takes them out. It’s because you helped them and they don’t have problems with bad things that you can help them with anymore. It’s hurts, finding out who’s a fake friend. But it’s better to have a real friend then to have a fake friend

“Fake friends are like shadows there around you at the brightest times and disappear at the darkest”😔 Prince EA 2019 That hit different

This video reminded me of a quote: "you are the average of the five people closest to you".

"Better to walk alone at night Than to walk with a fake friend in the light" -Prince EA

I never thought I’d be happy to realise I only have 3 true friends

In middle school this is the reason I dropped a whole friend group . I realized these people were using me as some sort of punching bad whenever they got mad. They would yell at me, and I would do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. If you ever have to question why you're even friends with someone, you should drop them immediately.

For everyone here who have "fake" friends and are being depressed about it Why dont WE become friends? :)

"Fake friends are like shadows they're around you during the brightest times but they disappear during the darkest times" Damnn that's painful and yet so true😔💔

Recently cut off a "friend" I've wanted to cut off for like 6 months now and finally did it he smoked weed, vaped and drank a heck ton of alcohol . Do that and you feel so good, I want to grow and not get dragged into that kind of stuff. Stay strong kings!

People who dislikes this are fake friends just don't want to get exposed

Damn...only 42 seconds in the video and he’s already speaking truth 🤣😭

Jokes on you I never had friends to begin with

Your life is dependent on two things: 1- people you hang out with 2-books you read Precious!! Thank you

“Fake friends are like shadows, they’re around you during the brightest times, but they disappear during the darkest times.” That really touched my soul when I heard that. I have had many fake friends who I trusted deeply only for them to betray and leave me.

Me: Finally gets friends Watches video Me:A sheeee here we go again

My philosophy is friends don’t exist We have family without our blood

Prince ea: *The people you are hanging out with is not your friends* Me: I have no friends so this is not a problem

There’s can be millions telling me “Be you, Do what makes you happy, don’t care what others think” But the second i show up to school and see someone i just change immediately... i can’t do this.

First sentence: "The people you are hanging out with are not your friends" Me: What people? I'm not hanging out with anybody lmao

Why am I watching this? I don't even have friends I got family

That painfull moment when you give everything your friend needs when they feel down but when you need something from them....... They are gone...... They are no where to be found-....

I once had a friend...that meant the world to me... last year... we got into a fight about a book... I was a stupid fight but, we didn’t talk to each other for 4 months. I cried for nights... nothing got better. When it was the first day of school after summer break, we started talking. I was so happy. She said a few words but that made me feel amazing. Just know I she will talk to me again. Eventually we became kinda friends. We didn’t play with each other all the time though like before. Now she is always jelous when I talk about volleyball.... my talent. The jelousy was starting to get controlled by her though... one day.. she came up to me and asked for some help. She suspected her friends were fake as she overheard them talking bad about her. So one day I saw her 2 friends walking around without her... she couldn’t have been with anyone else. I got nervous. I ran around the school yard looking for her,the in the school checking everywhere . Her backpack was on the hook so she must be at school... I checked the office and eventually found out she was just writing a test at recess... but the point is... I couldn’t help it, looking for her to make sure she was ok. After the fight.

90% of these comments are referring to a specific empowering quote, but in reality...this whole video is a quote.

1:29 You can't call everyone your friend *Except Oprah* *Oprah is everyone's friend*

i know this wasn't in the video but came across this quote one day and really connected with it "A friend who understands your tears is much more valuable than a lot of friends who only know your smile"

I rather to stay with my dog than my fake friends cuz dogs are always there for you, they protect you from danger,they comfort you while you are sad,and they can make you happy and laugh♥️.

It was like he's a father teaching his son some valuable things

Why does teenagers only get to hear this? we all need to hear this❤❤

_”better to walk along at night than with a fake friend in the night”_ _couldn’t have said it better myself ❤️ keep shining Prince EA🙏🏾_

thats why my daughter has only one friend and she knew her when they kids they always look out for each other

Imagine having Prince EA as a teacher! What kind of peoples lives he would change!

This video is nothing but TRUE. And to be honest, eventually, everyone will leave you at some point, whether they are a true or fake friend because that's how life works. No one will stay with you, by your side forever except for one person and that is only YOU. The truth might hurt you, but one lie can destroy you.

I changed this comment so you will never know how i got so many likes

I just unfriended them and then got to see this. Hope RU-vid recommended this to me before.

"Freund" Just translates to "friend". Trust me, I'm german

This made me realize how many fake friends I have and how many real friends I have.

This is how many ppl prince Ea got them thinking (Edit:Thanks for the likes!!) 👇🏾

The most crying part i ever read"fake friend are just like a shadow they appear when your in the brightness😢😢😢

1:00-"Fake friends are like shadows,they're around You during the brightest times but they dissappear during the darkest times" 😮

That's why my mom always says, keep your friend circle small

That’s why I keep my circle small💯💯

I really needed to hear this a couple of years ago and ended up learning it all alone while I was in many semi toxic friendships. But I am so glad to hear this now to refresh my memory on what's important. Thank you for sharing. I will send this to my sister, someone who really needs to hear this.

Yes it true because fake friends are like shadow,they do like that they love you but their minds destroying you is their best way to live

you just made me rethink my entire friendship group, i needed that, thankyou

"You're in the wrong squad" *Pfttt, What squad? I can't even get friends to start with*

This really changed my whole mindset of who i hang around and so that moving forward with life i don't have to deal with that type of negativity. So Thank You!

This made me cry it is just the same way I live I really needed that, thank you .

My School still don't understand the meaning of education😂😂😂

Jokes on you I ain't got no friends😂😂*cries inside*

The moment i realized that my beat friend is just a fake friend because he always pushes me back when i dont have much but people i cal normal friends tend to stay with me in the darkness, i wish i had a caring good friend in bad times not only in the brightest ones

This guy needs to be heard.

True friendship is a sacred connection. And a quite rare thing to be found these days. But it does exists! It takes time and effort and maybe some heart-breaks to find it. 👫

0:58 *"Some friends are like shadows, you only see them when the sun shines"* ~Michael Jackson

I have been in that spot that Prince Ea is talking about and I agree when he says that the kid can grow or fall.Also it is also nice to see his love for little kids and teenagers.

There is Prince Ea There is hope! God loves you! God bless you! Thank you Prince Ea

*Treat yourself as you want to treat the one you love* This is for all teenagers. Loving yourself should be your first priority Edit. "Thanks for liking. "😊

*_Toxic people attach themselves like cinder blocks tied to your ankles, and then invite you for a swim in their poisoned waters.._*

That is so essential valuable words to all teenagers. Thank you Prince Ea👍🏻

He won't be just a great father *PRINCE EA FOR PRESIDENCY(2024)*

This legit made me question my entire decisions in life.. Dayum.....😥💯💯

Prince:See Fake Friends Are like Shadow.... That Hits me So hard

This man literally changed my life and I thank god every day that I found his videos. Before I started watching these I was chronically depressed (and still have issues with it as there is no cureall) and even therapy wasn't helping as much as it should. This man helped so much

Prince Ea is my true friend because he help me to disappear my problems and also help me to raising up.

Things change Friends leave Nd life doesn't stop for anybody...

This guy deserves a Nobel peace prize, he is truly inspiring

I just wanna say Thank you❤️ All of my love and respect❤️

Your enemy shows that they hate, fake friends hate behind your back.

With all these videos you are making, you should really run for mayor or something. LIKE ACTUALLY.

Damn I needed this... I've had to many fake friends in my life... thank you...😭💗

Best part of being introvert you only have a handfull of friends but they always got your back

One of the best people I've ever heard. Greek mindset was is and will always be the key to true happiness

*This just made me realise how lucky I am to have 5 amazing friends..*

Who ever is reading this Be happy 😊

I remember my teen years. It was difficult. Your friends are your world when you're a teenager, and some of them are toxic and take and influence you in horrific ways but you're scared to drop them because you want to be accepted and they can be fun to be around, refreshing, but they're dangerous. There are other friends you can make and I remember having that were true friends, that did care about me and didn't want bad for me and influenced me in positive ways, even teaching me things and keeping me on the right path when I didn't want to be, people that others often put down for being nerdy or being too much like the teachers and parents, but they were the ones that were the truest friends. Though you have to watch them too. Because some of them mindlessly follow the rules and don't question anything and get on your case strictly for the wrong reasons. Some friends will question you in the right ways when you're going to do something harmful to yourself or others, but other rule following friends don't even dare to see that some of the rules really can also be harmful. So it's a hard road to navigate over, but friends definitely have to be chosen carefully.

I consider myself a good friend. Whenever my friends are feeling low I stick by there side and one time we were stuck on the road in the winter. However my parents could’ve picked me up but instead I waited and walked home with him before worrying but myself
