Abstract
When people are lovelorn, they need others' understanding. Once when my friend was in pain, he even hurt himself. He often quarrelled with his parents and friends. He said that he didn't want to do this, but he was always full of sad emotions, which made him out of control. Later, it got worse and he even hurt himself. He said he knew it was wrong, but he didn't know what to do. We made a lot of phone calls. I could feel all his negative emotions. I tried to take him out to climb mountains, watch movies, dine at good restaurants to kill time. But I could feel that he was pretending to be happy, so as not to waste my time. What I took him to do can only make him escape from sadness for a short time, so I have been trying to find ways to help him, let him release these emotions, and find some suitable ways to make him better face his life.
