nothing is ever quite as healing as the unconditional love of a friend and hurting yourself is never the answer

this is a very nice poem for your friend you should give it to her....and remember, astricks in place of curse words, is not allowed.

This was pretty powerful. I enjoyed the poem a lot. Hope your friends get well soon.

some things a friend can't heal
a friend can be there
a friend can listen
a friend can offer comfort
but sometimes someone needs someone who isn't a friend not an enemy but someone like a counciller to do that
when i was going through my depression my friends couldn't handle it because they didn't understand although i hope that you can be of help to your friend because its nice to have a friend along even tho they may not alwayz understand

as u go in life there will be ur hardships it is up to u if it makes u or breaks u.
