When JeanEduard was in fifth grade before his middle school years he had a best friend, named Matthew, who he loved hanging out with. They hung out all the time, ate lunch together every day and had a great friendship.
However, something happened to Matthew that had a very negative impact on their friendship. Matthew's parents got a divorce, and it was really difficult for him, so he drifted away from JeanEduard and started isolating himself. JeanEduard wanted to help Matthew and save their friendship, so he decided to talk to a counselor about the situation. The social worker advised JeanEduard to talk to Matthew and show his support, so JeanEduard decided that was exactly what he was going to do.
JeanEduard approached Matthew and told him that everything was going to be okay and that things would get better overtime, but instead of appreciating JeanEduard's support and friendship, Matthew got very angry. He got defensive and told JeanEduard that he didn't know anything about the situation.
Then, his anger turned to violence. He threw JeanEduard into a tree and started hitting him. A teacher spotted the altercation and ran over to help JeanEduard, and she carried him right to the nurse's office. He was covered in splinters and bruises, and his mom was devastated when she had to pick him up from school.
JeanEduard had to miss two weeks of school due to his injuries, and when he came back, Matthew was nowhere to be found. It turned out that, because of the fight, Matthew wasn't allowed to come back to school for the rest of the year, and get counselling.
Even though Matthew had hurt him, JeanEduard was still very upset to hear the news. He couldn't help but think back on all his good times with Matthew, and although he regretted the way things ultimately turned out, he did not regret trying to help Matthew. Instead of looking back and saying to himself, "My best friend turned on me," JeanEduard was proud of himself for doing whatever he could to be a supportive friend.
