Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney is about how Greg Heffley's best friend ditched for a new girlfriend named Abigail. Every time Greg tries to hang out with Rowley, Abigail is always there. Since Rowley has a girlfriend he has no time for Greg. He struggles to find new friends in a tough year in middle school. I think that Rowley's girlfriend shouldn't get in the way of his friendship with Greg.
In the book Greg says, "Back in the good old days, it was just me and Rowley, and we hung out and did whatever we wanted. If we felt like blowing bubbles in our chocolate milk at lunch, then that's exactly what we did. But now that there's a in the picture, things are totally different." Now that Rowley has a girlfriend Greg and Rowley can't do the fun things they used to do. In the book Greg also says, "Wherever Rowley is, his girlfriend Abigail is too. And even if isn't there, it seems like she is. I invited Rowley to my house for a sleepover last weekend so the two of us could spend some time together, but after about two hours I gave up trying to have any fun." This means that Greg and Rowley can't spend any fun time together because Rowley is caught up with his girlfriend. Another thing that Greg says in the book is, " When the two of them are in same place, its even worse. Ever since Rowley and Abigail got together, its's like Rowley got together, it's like Rowley doesn't even have his own opinions anymore." Rowley isn't the same as when he didn't have a girl friend.
This connected to teenagers because it shows how relationships can take over your life and stop ditch your best friends.Having a girlfriend shouldn't get in the way of your friendships. You can't let a girl change you as a person. You can let a girl mess up your friendships.A girl isn't as important as your friendships.
