Feeling Down: Helping Yourself

Ever feel down? Of course you have. Usually, you know when you're down. You have depressing thoughts, want alone time more often, need someone to talk to,and those kind of things. But that doesn't mean you have to STAY that way. Just let it out. Sometimes I feel down. When I feel down, I have a sister to talk to. She knows how to solve so many problems because she understands it. She is 17, so she understands all of that stuff and she knows how to help. But not everyone has supportive siblings. Some people have very non-supportive siblings or they don't have siblings. So they need a new way to feel better. Here is some ways to brighten your day:

Take a Nap
Read a book
Write (diary, story)
Talk to someone you know
Relax
Play a board/video game

These things help. If your feeling down, try these things out and see how you feel.

Moving On

Tons of you out there understand that when you lose someone, you need to move on. Sometimes it's hard, but people need to be strong. As you know, I've lost my friend Fouachua and I told you that I can't make new friends very well. But I know in my heart, although she is gone I have to stay strong and it's okay that I have no friends. Maybe it is better for me to just be alone. It hurts, because I'm not use to it. But those of you out there, remember that you can't just sulk in a corner because your sad about something and you wish it hadn't happened. You have to be strong. Get out of that corner, and try walking alone for once. Maybe you'll find things you never really knew before if you just stay by yourself. If you do, luck will come to you. I promise. I don't have a religion, but this may sound really religious but: may god be with you, at all times. He will watch over you. Remember that, and you'll be just fine.

Friends You Miss

Hi, my name is Myah Lee Williams and I am the daughter of Lora Williams, a professional horse trainer. I'm 10 years old, and I made a blog to share my thoughts and concerns; just as my mom did. As a kid, I understand that losing friends can be hard to get through....because I have lost one, as many others probably have. This is why I will share with you the story of my dearest friend that has left, and I may never see her again. Her name was Fouachua. She is a hmong 10 year old that was born in Louse and moved to America when she was 2. From there, she began to learn English and when she was 8 she came to my gifted and talented school: Golda Meir. We met on the 3rd day of school, and got along well. We met on the bus when I was being bullied by some mean kid. She stood up for me and we became friends. We had our ups and downs as the year went on, because some really rude catholic girl named Emma tried to break us up constantly. But we got through it, and by the next year (4th grade) we got along a lot better, and found that we had plenty in common. Especially when it came to music and sports. But right when we started to realize how much we had in common, and what good friends we could actually be...she announced she would be leaving the school. First, she said she would be leaving next year. But after a week or so, she said that she would be leaving the next day. That didn't happen. She ended up staying for another two weeks. On a monday afternoon, I got off the bus. We hugged and I got off, and she waved at me and yelled, "see you tomorrow, myah!".....but the next day, she wasn't there. Fouachua liked to prank people, so I didn't worry about it. She had tricked us into thinking she left at least 2 times, but I still had my doubts....the next day, she didn't show up again...and the next, and the next, and the next...until on a Friday, her cousin Asianna and I decided...she had left the school. I'm torn, and I cry just talking about it. She was my best friend, and I hoped that we would stay together until 8th grade. I thought we'd graduate together...but now she's gone...and I'm alone...I try making new friends, but everyone thinks I'm a nerd, they think I'm annoying...so I just keep to myself all day and most of the time I eat lunch by myself...wishing she was with me....I understand how painful it can be to lose a friend...
Goodbye, Fouachua. Best friends forever..... :(
