| I have a friend. She is really nice. She cares for her friends no matter what. When she sees her friends get picked on or whatnot, she sticks up for them. She's really good at photoshop, and even remembered my birthday.
Why did her mom "dump her off" at her grandparents? By the looks of it, she really hates her and completely closed her out of her life. I wouldn't blame her, neither. By the sounds of things, her mother goes out with a lot of guys, gets drunk, has sex, does other stuff, rinse, wash, repeat. She doesn't deserve to be a daycare and a senior citizen worker all her life. Why is life so unfair for people? Why do such damn bad things happen to good people? It apalls me. I mean, her OWN mother treated her like a "mistake". Crud. 
On to my problem, I care about people too much myself. Whenever something bad happens to a friend, I get hit by it too. I'm that way. Always been, always have. I guess I'm just too nice. 
So any advice I could give her? And words of encouragement? She said herself she doesn't really care, but DANG. She's a proverbial housewife there. She's been "living on her own" in a way for years. She said she had a "midlife crisis" at 15. Heh. She really really tends to the home for her grandparents. What a stupid mother she has. I'd kill myself if I was in her shoes. |

That sounds pretty terrible to me. She seems like a really great girl, and it's surprising that her mother would do that. Typically, kids take after their parents, or look up to them, but it's a good thing she didn't turn out like her mother 
I'm kind of clueless as what you could say to her though. Just always be there when she needs someone to talk to, or comfort her when she's having trouble in life. That would be about all you could give her now I guess  |

| Empathy is a wonderful thing, but do you have a strong enough mind to counter the stray emotions you pick up? That's something a lot of people have to learn the hard way.
As for your friend, she'll be stronger for it. I know it sounds terrible for her to have to go through all of it, but it's so worth it. Tragedy is a defining feature in our personalities. She'll gain empathy, direction and compassion from all of this, if she hasn't already. It'll hurt like hell though. As S.N.N. said, just be there for her when she needs you. |
