all you need is a friend looking out for you

My dad taught me a lesson a while ago, after one of my friend's friend committed suicide. He said, "Even if you think talking about it with them may hurt for them, it could just help them. To let it out, all their anger, sadness, confusion. It's always good to have a friend there for you." I think it's great, because you might just make their day. I never actually got around to calling her, but I couldn't imagine going through that. I would want a friend there too. But I know there always will be...hopefully. (:
