Friendship is Magic

I take responsibility when it comes to making friends. When I see someone alone, or not as integrated in a group, I like to involve them in the things we're doing. I feel like it's my responsibility to make people feel better and like they belong. When someone is getting picked on, I usually stand up for them. No one deserves to be alone or hurt by others, no matter what they've done or what they've been through. I think I feel this responsibility rests on me because if we all just wait until someone else integrates them, then no one is going to and they will feel left out. I know what it's like to feel awkward or alone in a situation, so I feel the need to help them. I also know what it's like to be bullied, and I know that it would've been great to have someone stand up for me.
