Friends (not tv show)


                      Tall, short, fat, skinny, people come in different sizes. Some people become more important and special to you than others. When you see these people, you get a special feeling that makes you happy. Sometimes I have the tendency to block out everything else around me when I see them. These people are very important to me and have a very special place in my heart. I become very happy when I see one of
my friends in the hallway or in my class. This feeling is something that keeps me smiling throughout the day. This is what just one of my friends can do for me.
                        I can be really sad or feeling terrible and sick to my stomach, but as soon as I see her, I am able to ignore all of that and smile. Every little thing she does for me makes a smile breaks out on my face. For example, she gave me a necklace about a month back. I was so excited when I first got it and I put it on right away. What really made me happy when she did this, is that she didn’t have to, and she still chose to give it to me. That really meant a lot to me because for one reason I wasn’t expecting it, and two she hardly ever took hers off either. Now I wear it every day and hardly ever take it off. Making sure I am always happy is something she is good at. If I seem even remotely sad, she will try to figure out what is wrong, and try to figure out how to make me feel better. She will do whatever it takes to make me feel better. When she does this for me it makes me extremely joyful to know that she cares about me so much.


                      Caring about me is another thing that my friend is great at doing. She makes everything better when she tries to step in a make me feel better. She doesn’t always make it work, but what makes it so special is that she tries to make it better. Lately, I have not been in the best mood, because I have been going to the doctor and going through physical therapy. I have also been sitting out of pe, for I don’t even know how long anymore. I finally got back in pe two days ago, but I still have a lot of back pain. Also, I just went to go to the doctor Tuesday and found out that my back can hurt until Junior, Senior year of high school! That is really hard to comprehend when you are only thirteen. You also have to think about the fact about how long you will be in pain. I just want to be better and not have to deal with any of this, unfortunately that won’t happen though. Having my friend has been making it so much easier to have to deal with this, because I know that she will always be there if I need her. She will be there for me whenever I need her. She will drop what she is doing to help me. I am not the biggest fan of taking medicine, even when I need to take it but, she makes me take it so that I feel better. This does not make me mad at her because it shows how much she cares and wants me to be happy.
                   This shows what just one friend can do for me and how happy they make me. If this is just one friend imagine what multiple friends can do for me. Having friends like the one above makes it really easy to smile and have a great day.

My opinion is that people should focus more on mental health. Space travel is not even needed. If someone has mental health issues then the...
