1. No matter how strong, we may think we may be, we all need someone to lean on
2. Everybody deserves to be mistreated, everybody has feelings.
3. You never know hose life you could be saving by just being there

C. “A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.” ― William Shakespeare
II.The Need Step
A. If we want to accept it or not bullying is a frequent thing teens and preteens face many iend lives do to it, if the bullying gets severe enough, for instance look at Amanda Todd.
1. Amanda Todd killed herself after a long line of bullying.
2. She was a young female who had a long life ahead of her
3. In my opinion, I feel that if she would have had atleast one friend stand behind her and hold her hand through this, she possibly would be alive eight now.
B. People are thankful for friends
1. My grandma passed away the night before graduation unexpectedly
2. My phone was flooded with text messages, phone calls, and voicemails each were kind words offering condolences for my families loss. All the kind words made me appreciate my friends even more
3. I don’t think I could have got through it without my friends.
C. Next time, your walking across campus, smile at somebody, be friendly, maybe your going to be the person one day that needs a friend
D. And always remember the golden rule; do unto others as you have them do to
