Friends are more than friends they are feelings

Troy helped me with a problem that could have my senior year of high school be the worst possible year with no means to a happy future. I helped my best friend go through a very horrible time in life when her sister took her own life. In the beginning Troy, and I were not on good terms. He started middle school for me in the most unexpected way possible, and I was scared of him at one point in time. He did not want to give me a chance to be his friend he was quick to judge and he hated me for no reason. After the first couple months though we grew on each other and started to become friends until the two of us became best friends. Now Troy and I are almost like brothers. We help each other as much as we possibly can just to try and help the other person even if you do not get anything out of it that helps ourselves. One thing I have helped Troy with is English 3 and Algerbra 2 because he needed help paying attention and needed someone who could walk through the steps with him so he could grasp with concept that was trying to be said or described. When high school started he was still one of my friends that stayed with me over the transition from school to school. We had classes together and helped each other get through classes either by passing the class or mentally pushing through by laughing and cheerful talk. Troy is one of those people you could tell anything and he would find a way to help you no matter what he had to do in return and how much it cost. He would keep a secret no matter how much you asked to know or how much it cost. He is just a trustworthy friend that all people need a certain kind of person in their life. I almost had the most heartbreaking break up I’ve ever had, Troy remained at my side and tried to keep me as positive by giving good thoughts about her and about how at the end of the day we would still both have feelings. I just had to stay positive and keep pushing forward through all the hardship, no matter how much it hurt. I do not like getting hurt, but I will try and make things work out the end of the day and if it takes more than one day to figure out I will sit there for however long until the problems is solved. I do not like leaving arguments and not talking about them because I myself feel as if I do not talk about it when we are already talking about it, the topic will possibily be brought back up into another argument or the worst timing possible. The time I helped my best friend is when her sister took her life from this world and it seriously impacted the family. I did not have a place in the family besides as that guy, but I still went out of the way to spread the word of what happened and how to stop the bullying to my personal friends and family, it is not a joke and should not be treated that way. The girl was one of my best friends her and I had a lot of funny moments in school where all we did was laugh until our stomachs hurt because that is how funny everything was to us. She had an amazing smile with one of the best laughs if you heard her laughing it was impossible not to laugh along with her. The laugh is so unforgettable and so genuine that it could make a grown man cry over the thought of missing and hearing it again. I hate what the family has gone through and how they could lose someone so special. Someone who cared at much as she did, she does not deserve what happen to her because she was so innocent and would not hurt a single person unless you messed with her sisters, she loved her sisters to death. She was willing to fight for them without them even knowing. I know I probably do not have all the information cause we just started being best friends and we had a lot to learn, but in the time we were friends this is what I got from her character and personalities. The school should start doing more about it besides just letting kids get to a breaking point. If someone says they are being bullied or harassed both the bully and the kid being bullied should be pulled from class and put in the conference room together until either they start arguing or till the tension is so high that you can cut something with the air. They should sit there and talk about the problems at hand and all the actions that will be taken for what has already happened and if they see it again or keep getting reports of it they will have a talk with the police that is there. If that still continues that they need to get suspended or another course of action needs to take place. Some people might consider the over the top and very wrong, but it is a start to try and fix the problem that is at hand instead of doing nothing and having the same thing happen again. I was there from the beginning to help her through it all she turned to me and counted on me to be there with and for her as much as I possibly could. I would have late night phone calls to cheer her up because she was crying or really missing her. She would blame herself for what happened and kept telling herself only if she noticed sooner and blaming everything that happened on herself. I held her so much in school so she had a shoulder to cry on. I had to let her know that she was not alone for this and that someone would be there for her to cry on and fall back on. I tried my best to stay by her side so she would have someone to count on to be there for her so she was not left in pain and had to get through it alone. She still struggles with it to this day, and I am still by her side for moral support, and if she needs a shoulder to cry on. I wouldn’t let her stay upset or in a bad mood I was determined to help in anyway possible and would do anything to see her smile. At the end of the day someone is always willing to help it just depends on who is the strongest and willing to step up to the test and actually do anything from someone they care about no matter who they are. Love and friendship is easy to ruin you have to persevere what you have. Photo on Foter.com

    I am glad that you have a friend that you can count on, and I am glad that you helped someone go through a hard time. Friends are very important to have even to talk to.
