New Puzzle (more hints added)

Jack, my bestfriend at the time, taught me the basics of life and what it meant to be a part of the world we live in, It was something I would never forget. Regretfully, however, as friends do, we spread apart, we made friends with other people, but fortunately we never really forgot eachother. Xavian was the name of my new bestfriend after, although he did teach me some things but, I'm not sure they're things to remember... Fucking. Arsehole. Offensive language basically, there was one that was too disrespectful for me even to say but here it goes. Cunt, Yep he taught me those words and offensive language, I knew I should of never met him and stayed friends with Jack. Jack taught me the real "code" of friendship.

Hint 1 for step 1: To find the end you must first look at the start.
Hint 2 for Step 2: The "code" you have found is not the "code" needed to enter the giveaway or ItsTooHard. You must do something to make a change.
Hint 3 for Step 1: The code that you must find is 8 characters long. (It is not for itstoohard)
