Dear anyone reading this, I am here for you. I can support you in any way you need me to. You can tell me about anything, and I swear on my grave it will stay confidential and private. If friendship is what you need, then I will befriend you. If advice is what you need, then I will give it. I am not heartless, and I am not naive enough to think that everyone here is doing fine, and that their lives are perfect. Though I recently was naive enough to think that one of my best friends was fine. I was so wrong. One day, on the last day of Health class, during 6th hour, she passed me a small, folded up note. It read the following:

'Dear Allie, I have been meaning to tell you this for a while, but I never have the time to talk to you alone. The reason I was acting so weird during that briefing on eating disorders yesterday, is that.. I have an eating disorder. I haven't been eating much lately, and I kind of know why. I am the girl that everyone looks at, but never sees. I am invisible to the world, and felt hopeless. Controlling something in my life gave me a sense of power over something. I also seriously did consider suicide at one point. I was in my bathroom, standing, when I saw a razor on the vanity. All the problems in my life, all the troubles the world was going through, I could take them away with one move of that razor on my wrist. I picked up the razor, and put it on my wris, when I snapped back to reality and put it back. There were people here who did care for me, who did love me. And that's what keeps me going.'

After that hour, I gave her a giant bear hug, and told her that I was there for her. We are still in touch today, and she is alive and well. For the sake of keeping her secret, I will never reveal her name or anything else about her. Just remember, there are people here on this Earth who do love you and care for you. I am one of those people. Contact me through PM, and I will respond within a day. It will stay private and confidential.
