Importance of friendship

Since this is my first blog, just want to talk a little about myself as an introduction. When I was young, before I left my country, I went to a prestigious school. It was a school where almost every single parent in the city would want their girl to be in (It's an all girls school). My time studying in that school was like a really long nightmare. Not only was I bullied in school, but I also got beat up at home everyday. I really hated myself. Due to my horrible grades and many other family issues(I won't go into detail about them), I had a really low self-esteem. It was when I left the country and went studying abroad that my life got slightly better. I lived with my aunt and my uncle for a few years, but I soon couldn't stand them and moved out. During that time, I started to enjoy school; I started to see the fun in learning, but I hated going back to their house after school. Even my parents knew how I was being treated, so they decided that I would go to boarding school. After going to that school, I met a lot of friends, and a lot of inspiring teachers. I soon developed an interest in tennis, basketball, Philosophy, Psychology, and Law. I got into a pretty decent university, and that's when my nightmare came back again. Lucky it didn't last for long. I had to study BBA (Bachelors of Business Administration), that just wasn't my thing. I had to study that because of my parents, they think business is the only real degree in university.....never understood that logic..but anyways...I am not in the business major anymore, thank god. But the point is, throughout my ups and downs, I had a lot of friends supporting me (after I left the city of course, I had no friends back then). And if it wasn't for them....my attempted suicide would have been successful. So for anyone out there who feel helpless, you are not alone. You will meet someone along the way that will help pick you up. Get back up on your feet....and you will be fine.
