[Article 08]

Dear Macy,

My friends keep ignoring me. Whenever I'm talking to them, they always act like they have something more important to do. What do I do? I don't want to act needy, but I need my friends. Is it possible that they just don't want me around? Should I help them out and just kill myself?

Sincerely,

The hopelessly needy friend

Dear Hopelessly Needy Friend,

Honestly, when friends ignore you that means they have something going on or they have something to hide. Now I'm not telling you to go probe them and poke them with a stick till they speak but I mean just tell them that you're there if they ever need you.

And who the hell cares if you are needy, this school thrives around people who need others in order to live. Tell them how you feel and if they really care then they will tell you what's going on with them as well as try to help you.

I'm here for you ok? I mean you can continue to send anonymous mail to me but don't ever think that anyone in this school wants you to kill yourself. Ok?

Cause none of us want that. So here is what I'm going to tell you. Speak out. Tell them you are feeling ignored. Secondly, tell them that you are there for them. And finally tell them about your own personal problem. You deserve friends that care for you and I'm always here for you as well.

Sincerely,

Macy

"Hi. I'm Anxious." The girl said as she stood in front of me.

I looked her up and down and noticed that she was noticeably thin. There were small scars up and down her arm. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying and her hair looked like she just didn't care anymore.

"Oh, uh, hi Anxious. I'm Macy" I replied to her with a small smile. I was thinking who the hell would name their child Anxious.

She gave a small forced laugh and said, "No I'm Anxious. The one that asked for advice from your 6th Article. I'm also Jeanna's friend."

I looked over at Jeanna, my editor and realized that this was the girl who tried to commit suicide. This was a girl that I was supposed to help.

I sure as hell, hope that I can.
