In 6th grade, I had this friend. We were good friends, but she would always pour out all of her problems on me. It felt like I was constantly there for her, but when I would give her help she would refuse it. Basically she was pouring out all of her problems on me, and when I tried helping, she would refuse it and never stop to help herself. It was absolutely exhausting to have to constantly repeat the same pattern with her. I was so busy helping her, it exhausted me and I never had time to think for myself and have some time for me. Eventually I put a stop to it and I made time for myself. 


This relates to the theme because I started making time for myself instead of constantly focusing on my friend]]> 2021-01-11 17:57:46 UTC https://padlet.com/emma_howden_598/c5348iqa401qhha2/wish/1075375102 emma_howden_598 https://padlet.com/emma_howden_598/c5348iqa401qhha2/wish/1075453177
Near the end of 6th grade year,  I had this other friend who did the exact same my other friend. All the time she would complain and sulk around about her mental health. Of course, I would help her. I always helped her no matter what. But like my old friend, she still wouldn't do anything to help herself and she always relied on me to do something. And when I did something, she would refuse all help and  she would keep sulking around. It felt tiring always having to deal with her relying on me to fix her problems, and then blowing me off after not taking any help.
