I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend. She had just moved into the neighborhood （邻里）and her grandmother brought her down to 36 me. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, 37 to look at each other. Soon we lost the 38 and started playing with each other.
In the 7th grade, I first lost touch with her. She was 39 family problems and I deserted her to be with the “cooler people”. None of my new friends liked her as much as I did 40 they knew she had 41 . However, every summer we 42 always sit at each other’s house and watch soap operas （肥皂剧）and talk about all the boys we liked.
It was last year when I noticed the problem. I guessed I was 43 devoted in high school to __44 she needed someone there for her. Anyway, she made a new “best firiend” and so did I. Then I didn’t know why, 45 she started cutting herself!
She then was diagnosed as clinical depression （临床抑郁症）. At first, I was very 46 , but we still stayed in 47 . I wanted to be there for her since her new best friends basically 48 her and people were calling her 49 .
Yesterday she came to me and said: “I never knew what a best friend was 50 you were the only person that would stop me from cutting. 1 51 you so much, and you didn’t even know you were 52 me.”
We both cried. And I think a kind of 53 from my life so far is to never give up on （放弃）your friends. Even if they aren’t as cool as others, or people think they are crazy, they need 54__ there. If you desert them, you will only be 55 yourself.
