I saved a friend's life. Here is the story. (I will not dictate his/her name nor gender for respect) While in school, I am already noticing something different from my friend, so I asked him/her, is there something bugging him/her lately, he/she replied with "nothing". I then left with suspicion in my mind. School ended, he/she stood up from his/her chair with a frown on a face. I thought he/she really just had a bad morning. Well, that's what I thought... I now got back at home, checked my phone then, I saw him/her online. So I thought he/she is now fine or recovering. Couple of hours have past, it is at least 7PM that time. Then I heard my phone's notification. It was a message from my friend. Now I only thought he/she will ask about a project a teacher gave us, but I was wrong. The reason why he/she dm'd me is because he/she wants to talk about a problem. I didn't really exactly know what the problem but it was in their family. He/she was trying to take his/her own life, but I talked to him/her really sincerely, convincing him/her to not do that kind of thing. It took a while talking but eventually and THANKFULLY I convinced him/her. I talked about his/her family,friends and specially loved ones. It was a tough ride but we eventually got into the end. He/she was really happy the day after and I am grateful to that. NOW THAT IS GOOD NEWS! Lesson here is please do not take your own life because of being depressed. Always remember we have our God always by our side. We also have our friends and family to guide us. We aren't going to give up our dreams like that, we will dream and achieve. Just don't forget to always have faith in God, He has plans for us. THANK YOU!
