I can still remember when I met my best friend．She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to  1  me．I hid behind my motherland she hid behind her grandmother，  2 to look at each other．Soon we lost the 3   and started playing with each other．

In the 7th grade，I first lost touch with her．She was  4  family problems and I deserted her to be with the because they knew she had  5   people．None of my new friends liked her as much as I did because they knew she had  6  ．However，every summer we 7  always sit at each other’s house and watch soap operas，and talk about all the boys we liked．

It was last year when I noticed the problem．I guess I was 8 devoted in high school to 9  she needed someone there for her．Anyway，she made a new best friend and so did I．Then 1 didn’t know why，10  she started cutting herself!

She then was diagnosed（诊断）with clinical depression．At first，1 was very 11  ，but we still stayed in  12 ．I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend basically  13  her and people were calling her  14  ．

Yesterday she came to me and said：“I never knew what a best friend was  15  you were the only person that would stop me cutting．I  16  you so much，and you didn’t even know you were  17  me．”

We both cried．And I guess a kind of 18  from my life so far is never to give up on your friends．Even if they aren’t as cool as others，or people think they are crazy，they need 19  there．If you desert them，you will only be  20  yourself．

We both cried．And a kind of  14 that I learn from my life so far is never to give up on your friends．Even if they aren’t as warm as others，or people think they are crazy，they need someonethere．If you desert them，you will only be  15 yourself.

In the 7^th grade，I first lost touch with her．She was  14 family problems and I deserted her to be with the "cooler people" because they knew she had been a   15       person．None of my new friends liked her as much as I did because they knew she had  16 ．However，every summer we could always sit at each other’s house and watch soap operas，and talk about all the boys we liked．
