Ever had a friend you needed to help but couldnt? a friend who needed guidance, but didnt want to accept it? and who are you to offer it, its not like your life's comparable.. How can you offer help to someone who refuses to take it? Everyone says wait around they'll figure it out on their own time. But then are you just suppose to sit and watch your friend fall and ruin her life? some things yes people need to learn on their own. But what about drugs? how do you know when to step in and intervene with their lives? And how can you? you feel so helpless in these situations. I'll tell you what my best friends like:

She’s stubborn as heck. She’s always right. She holds the weight of all the biggest problems, without stumbling. She’s got attitude. She’s got crude jokes. She’s the only one who will stay up all night listening to you crying. She’s tough. She’s honest. She helps anyone around her, never accepting anything in return. Everyone has a friend like her.


Her eyes are big, and round. Their a deep brown with tiny black dots; they hold years of experience. Freckled cheeks and nose, a cute, round, face to match. Curly, brown hair, and a heart-shaped, hairline. Curvaceous body structure she uses to her advantage.


She always makes the decisions, she naturally leads, not follows. Never told what to do, she makes her own rules; explores the darkest streets of life. She smirked at relationships always teasing, never committing. She played with malnutrition, starving, but never long enough to be anorexic. She tested death, slitting her wrists, never being suicidal. She mocked drugs that lead to addiction, by trying, never keeping. She’s above the law, stealing, never being caught.


Even she couldn’t see the adventure that would lead to a life-long scar. Evil always wins. It works it way by slowly sabotaging every moral she ever had, destroying her guilt, and tormenting her mind. It distanced her from the closest people she knew. It left her completely alone. It made her feel worthless; she was like dirt, useless. One mistake was all it took. One mistake led her to be a cocaine addict. One mistake led her to a criminal record. One mistake led her to an abused body. One mistake led her to hating life. She was the girl everyone wanted to be. Now she’s the girl everyone pities, but you still see her a hero.

Excellent choice of words. You seem to be well spoken. Was it a friend who inspired you to write this piece? If so, kudos to you, writing is one of the most prolific forms of self-expression.

My friend actually gets abused by her boyfriend. Things got out of hand the first time he hit her. It's sad. I don't know how to help her. I don't know what to say to her. She's too blinded by love. Anyone have any suggestions???

Ask her why she believes he loves her? What are the pros and cons of the relationship?
My last relationship was just over a year and a half, and in the last 6 months my bf became very emotionally abusive. I am not saying at all that there is a fair comparison, but one of the things that finally snapped me out of it was when my best friends convinced me to make a list. I was completely sick of everyone telling me that I was too good for him and that i should end. I felt like staying in the relationship just to spite them sometimes. You listen to all the love songs about staying true no matter what everyone else says and unfortunately, you can can relate.
Putting things in my own writing, like pros and cons lists, or what i wanted him to change, etc, was a huge turning point. It might help your friend.

Ask her if she is frickin stupid? What is he doing for her that her way of paying him back is by letting him have his way with her. Ask her if she really think its going to get better, love wise? You should do as much as you can to get her away from him people like that don't change unless they are hit by an overwhelming force of guilt. Her getting beat up is certainly not the way to go.

Did he just hit her once or is it an ongoing thing?
This is terrible to say but guys make mistakes. If, one time, things got heated and they were both angry and he struck out against her, he doesn't have to be judged by that forever. If they are really in love he will have to live with what he did for the rest of his life. If thats the case she doesn't need to leave him.

If it has happened more than once, then tell her she needs to at least take a break from the relationship. She must understand what he does is wrong. Once she is taking some time to think or whatever, get her out to meet some new guys. Don't force anything. She will likely see she deserves to be treated better than she is.


As for the OP, really good job there. It's an amazing piece of work.
