When I was in sixth grade my parents uprooted me from my childhood home. I hadn't had great friends most my life, but the years leading up I had made some really good friends. THey threw me a goodbye party and I'm tearing up just thinking about it. After I moved I got bullied a lot and didn't have any friends but some of my old friends stayed in touch with me.

I sorta quit the “popular friend group” in 6th grade, because of bullying and they were super toxic. I was sitting alone at lunch, and these kids I never knew came up to me and just asked if I was ok. I told them what had happened, and they marched up to the “popular kids” and told them off like heck. We’ve been friends ever since because they 3 people there helped me through a rough time. It’s 11th grade now and I’m just so happy for what they’ve done for me.

When I was 16, my friend Rowan let me stay with him until we went to college. I was thrown out of my house and disowned after I was forced out of the closet (I'm panromantic).

I come from an old-fashioned family with traditional gender roles and beliefs. Girls were expected to marry at 19, have tons of children, and stay at home. Boys were supposed to join the family business (I actually don't know what the business is, because my mother said it wasn't a girl's place to know).

So I appeared on my friend's doorstep, at 2 am, with a nasty bruise on my temple and a burn mark on my wrist. My (psycho) cousin Anne threw the family Bible at me after she forced me out of the closet. My mother 'accidentally' burned me with my father's cigar (yep, a cigar) after she burned my name off of the Bible.

He and his parents let me stay with them for 3 years until Rowan and I went to college. His parents helped pay my college fees since I was cut off from the family money.

Now, I'm 19, and happy as a single Pringle (take that, Mother), no kids, and studying music at the Boston Conservatory with Rowan. We share an apartment with two of our friends.

(I freaking hate your guts, Mother. B*tch.)

I have a few things.
1. One of my friends supported me and helped me break up with my boyfriend. The relationship was going downhill, and though I wanted too, I couldn't muster up enough courage to tell him I wanted to break up (I was shy, and I'm typically a doormat-type person). She helped me end that relationship, and since then, my mental health has only improved.

2. My friends supported me when I came out as a lesbian

3. They gave words of encouragement and support when I fell into a deep downward spiral of depression and anxiety

4. They tolerate my weirdness :)

5. They don't laugh at my interests, instead they encourage them

6. We stand up for each other

My friends and I have a bond that is nearly sisterly, one of them I have known for so long we are practically sisters. I trust them with anything and everything.

Talked- well chatted- through COVID. I've tried to start group chats with my group of friends, and it lasts for like a week and then it basically becomes extinct. One of my friends is the only one who has consistently chatted, so I just made a separate chat. A smaller thing, but one that mattered to me. It wasn't anything like getting through a hard time. One of my friends gave me an old MJ watch. It was just random but also made my day.

Actually being "there" for us. I was home dealing with a health issue my son was going through. My husband was driving home. He left work early to be with me and our son. He was hit broadside. The car was totalled but he was okay. He called our friends and asked if they would pick him up so I wouldn't have more worry. He was able to walk in the door and tell me the story. Otherwise he'd have had to call, tell me what happened and then we'd have had to figure out how to get him home. BTW the accident was not his fault. The other driver turned left directly into the side of our car. Both had green lights, my husband had the right of way.

This didn’t happen to me but I did something nice for my best friend. My friend was going through a rough time and we were taking a school trip. They put her bag in the back of the bus where they handle the stuff horribly. A bunch of people and I told the bus driver to stop the bus because her stuff was fragile and it is a 3 hour drive there and back. She got her stuff comforting herself by knowing her valuables were safe. By the way, she brought valuable things on the trip because we stay there for a few days and she gets home sick really easily.

I also love it when people save a seat for me, it makes me feel important to them and like they care about me.. Or when they send a random i miss you and how've you been..

I was going through one of the worst periods of my life. My husband had been arrested and all of our "friends" just abandoned me. I couldn't pay the rent and had to leave, making me homeless. One of our true friends allowed me to stay in his spare room for about 2 months until I could get on my feet and get some money saved. I then found a small apartment that I could afford. We live miles apart now, but we do keep in touch.

None of my friends did anything nice.

1. My friend told my crush I liked him! But my crush actually helped me find her after she ran away. He’s the sweetest (but he was gay)

2. My friends pantsed me (I said this before)

3. My other friend would call me a nerd for meeting a person on a have to do assignment?!

4. My one other friend judges who I date...then ends up liking him, hitting on him, or even hanging out with him.

5. If I ever liked someone then my friend who also likes him, would always say “he’s mine and you’ll never get him.” But I don’t even want to fight, if he chooses my friend then that’s ok! I would just want him to be happy.

6. My friends lie abt themselves to me to look better then me.

When will I ever have a real trustworthy friend 😔😞

My friend has severe depression. She, although she is struggling and not in a great mental state, strives to be the best person. She meets my needs instead of hers. It makes me sad, but I’m glad to have such a devoted friend. She stayed up late making me a character based off of twenty one pilots for my birthday this year. I keep telling her that she’s already awesome and that I love her no matter what, but she doesn’t really listen. It makes me sad that she would beat herself up to fit into what she thinks is the mold of a perfect friend for me, when in reality I don’t have one and I love her no matter what.

Probably supporting me through my coming out, believing in me, boosting my confidence when i needed it, coming to everyone of my plays, reading the same books as me so we can talk about it, and most importantly, my best friend taught me that i have impossibly high standards and people can't read my mind. That really helped me realize why I was never happy and why people kept leaving me. I was never the same since but in a good way! It's crazy how oblivious we can be when we think we are right and when we let our egos get to big. It really humbled me and i am thankful for her everyday.

Well, I was in a very bad place after a whole year of being bullied on top of my own problems. Some lied about one person that I was close with, to me. Considering how bad a place I was in, I believed the lies. I treat them (friend) like absolute hell even filing complaints (yep, the lies were that huge!) only to realise they were damn ginormous lies. The best thing a friend did for me was them to forgive me after all that. We are really good friends now.
