I want to explain this in a way that a child can understand. It might be hard for people to believe, but I am a thirteen-year-old girl who feels like I am all alone in the world. But that's not true, because I have parents who love me, and a sixteen-year-old sister. I also have almost thirty friends who I can call and talk to. I have a nice home and caring aunts. So, it might seem like I have everything on the outside, but there's one thing missing - my one true friend. When I'm with my friends, all I can think about is having fun and talking about normal things. I can't bring myself to talk about anything else.
