My advice for you:)

15.1.09

Dear Ronny,
I read about your problem and I know it seems too difficult and you have a little dilemma when a new, shy student comes to school and you want to be friends with him. But your friends are a little selfish and it will hurt their Ego if they become friends with Jill.

As I understood, Jill isn't very popular because she is shy and doesn't make friends easily. You asked an advice which will help you deal with this situation and make the right decision. Actually, the answer is really quite simple. Just ask yourself what's more important- to preserve your friend's Ego or help the new student, Jill, fit in.

In my opinion, if I were you, I think I could put aside my friends and think for a moment about the new student (I would put myself in her situation).If I were Jill, I would like someone to contact me and save me from my loneliness and shyness. Moreover, I would appreciate this person and find him as a real caring person. And I truthfully believe that after all even your friends will appreciate you more for not choosing their way.

I believe that each person has chances to help people, and I think that if you care so much about other people, and that's how it seems to me, you must grab this opportunity, or you will regret it later.

Finally I hope that I did help you and you will listen to your heart and do the right decision for you.

Good luck,
Avital.
